wow, surprised by how well this kid played in this game against DWill too
I know it’s one game, and the M/J/Nets have no real big men playing tonight to be a shot blocking threat…but I’m just speechless… good for the kid…
hope he keeps it up, I really want a true point for the Knicks
to INDY!
yeah but dwill is known for being a bad defender. ill be happy if lin is a 10/5/8 kind of pg

Actually D-Will is known as a good defender, probably the best defensive PG in the league

What makes me even more happier than that is seeing the bench jumping around and having fun, because lord knows they haven’t clowned around like that in a while. Hopefully the rest of the season ends up as good as this game. Those guys deserved it.

This was no fluke
What this game proved was what a stubborn crappy coach D’Antoni is. Sure, Lin’s not going to do this every night, but he deserved this opportunity much sooner than he got it. Had he played in the Chicago game, or gotten more spin in the Celtic disaster, the outcomes might have well been different. Instead his slavish devotion to TD as PG probably cost us both games. It also has cost TD to be forced into playing out of position,

A true measure of a passer is how easily JJ catches their ball.
He never caught a Shump or TD pass very easily, but he looked like Ewing tonight.

by Chairman Meow on Feb 4, 2012 10:41 PM EST up reply actions
the d was no fluke
slashing past everyone and getting to the rim will not work against every team in the league. against the nets no problem. but i mean… the grizzlies for instance, will lock his ass up.
/// aighttho.com \/// twitter.com/aighttho \
There's the one big If - NJ's front court isn't exactly formidable, and while I wouldn't
call Brooks formidable, he’s a big body….but I’d chuck the 3’s for those and 1 finishes any day – twofold as it gets 3 points and puts someone in foul trouble, loosens up the D. Flukeable maybe but def encouraging and oh so fun to watch
At the same time, credit for getting past possibly the best defensive PG in the league
Do the Shumpty Shump, come on and do the Shumpty Shump
hes not close to one of the best defensive pgs. dwill doesnt play D, all that well

slashing won't always come so easy
especially against a teams first unit, but the way to stop the slash is for another player to come block the paint, and I believe he will look for and find the person left open in this case
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
he will get the boards and dimes should be there
he will probably have more trouble getting to the hoop, but that should just mean someone is open

Wow!
I skipped out in the first quarter when Douglas ignored Amare who had his guy totally pinned and was shaking his fist to get the ball down low – a good pass and it would have been an easy dunk. I was fed up. Then I hit the bar and see the Lin show. Wow! That was absolutely unreal.
This didn't look like a fluke

If we can eek one out against the Jazz and clean up the Wiz...
We’ll be in good position to take on the Lakers and Wolves. Wins against Toronto and SAC and we’re at .500
I will go to my grave believing that if the Knicks had picked up Earl Barron before the 2011 Playoffs, we would not have been swept by the Celtics.
We only need 6 games...it really woulda helped to get one against Chi or Bos

Beyond the box score
Solid D on DWill. Impressed by his refusal to switch on D a few times and fight through to stay on his man. Knicks have been switching almost on every screen this season which has been problematic, so that was a bit refreshing
Personally, I don't think this is a fluke.
Lin plays a lot like John Wall, and people always have a hard time sticking to him. Especially if he’s able to develop a jumper. Hit the gym Jeremy!

IDK man we outscored them more than 2 to 1 in the paint that sounds fluky even against the Nets

Naw man there's no rationale by which Fields is benched
Shump takes a backseat to Landry, but I’d rather have him backup at the 1…his PG defense is still very good
I will go to my grave believing that if the Knicks had picked up Earl Barron before the 2011 Playoffs, we would not have been swept by the Celtics.
Assuming Lin plays this well against a non-injury decimated NJ Nets
I will go to my grave believing that if the Knicks had picked up Earl Barron before the 2011 Playoffs, we would not have been swept by the Celtics.
Agreed
The bench rotation that I want this year is Lin—Shump—Jorts—Jared
with Balkman and Bully picking some minutes as well.
__________________________________________________

I would say Bully and TD fight it out right now
TD can handle the ball, though not well as a PG. Bully dribbling up court is scary

dizzy rationale
is to say the exact same thing so many times that eventually it fits his square pegs into round holes.

Lesson Round Holes/Square Pegs
L.Fields is not a starting two or three. He cannot handle the ball or score naturally.
He is backup to Carmelo at the three because he can defned and run the floor on the break from the three spot.
He also can be a spot up shooter when needed from the corner and nothing more.
Two guards are players that can shoot from anywhere, create their own shot and handle the ball when needed. Field is not this type of player as mentioned above.
So remember, he is round peg that belongs in a round hole. Which means backup small forward.
If everybody would just watch the games and listen. You will realize that D’Antoni is the problem and no business coaching with cast of clowns known as assistants.
College level and then Rucker Parck are waiting for him.
8 million dollars a year. What a damn shame of thievery.
Any NBA owner that ever hires D’Antoni is only screwing the fans over.
He doesn't need to put up 25 points every night to be a difference maker for this team
and I hope he doesn’t take 19 shots a night, though 19 slashes to the hoop for an easy layup would be fine every night! Melo and STAT will be more present in the future, and he should be able to reach double digit assists. MDA probably won’t wait, but give him another game or two off the bench and if he keeps making a difference than we should be starting him until Boom comes back, and then using him a good amount to keep the pressure of Booms back. He is clearly our best PG without Boom
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
didn't Duhon have 22?
and he didn’t have STAT, Melo and then Tyson within 5 feet

The People's Republic of China is reporting that the Knicks lost
Because Taiwan is not recognized as existing, thus making Lin’s contributions a logical impossibility
I will go to my grave believing that if the Knicks had picked up Earl Barron before the 2011 Playoffs, we would not have been swept by the Celtics.

without a doubt. At least MAJOR minutes, maybe not 30+ but major
It hurts…. to think what would have happened had Lin played the second half last night.
Whatever, lets to a LIN-spiring future!

But, yeah, he should get major minutes.

Keep it shumpert and fields. I’d keep the rotation as is and make Lin #1 guard off the bench and end up logging most minutes at the pg spot

I just want him to be given a full chance.

BTW- Where the F is Baron???
Haven’t seen him on the bench lately.
Jordan is the next one
I predict he will drop a triple double 15rebounds 10points 10blocks at least once. (Wish it happens)
Lin could get a triple-double
but don’t expect too many or too often, they are still very tough. Let’s just hope he stays healthy and plays his game.

too bad he dogged the kid's defense
that was the only thing i was perfectly confident with before he got in the game.

o yeah
best stat of the night: 1 turnover in 36 minutes from Lin. Has anyone, guard or other, done that little turning over in 36 minutes this year? or last year?…

Most likely
Though that’s still an incredible feat considering how much the ball was in his hands.

i lust linished latching la game.
It was amazing to see how Lin played. And to be honest..he didn’t do anything out of the ordinary besides get minutes with a talented cast around him. He drives to the hoop as expected..struggles to shoot as expected and impressed with his ability to timely lobs at the rim.
His night started off with multiple lobs to chandler… then he started getting to very good layups +1’s…and also some good shit from jeffries in an attempt to give amare much needed rest.

I think his reverse layups and finishes around the rim
and assists while moving up and down the court were quite extraordinary
I get what you mean though
i agree.
I re read my post and it dis sound like I was taking away from his performance. Which is exactly what I didn’t want to do lol. He played very well and did what pgs do: create for others and limit turnovers.
Oh yea…huge surprise in how well he defended Deron W. He only got crossed once..and even on that play he recovered and maintained decent position on the contested shot.

Well, to be fair, there is reason to worry about his driving if we face competant big men
In past performances everyone on this board has pretty much agreed that he looked the most like a PG, but he wasn’t driving strong enough or would get blocked and if he could nail that down he’d be great for us.
But I agree, most of the stuff seems like things he could replicate from now on
Do the Shumpty Shump, come on and do the Shumpty Shump
yea..it wasn’t like he was just on fire. He made sound solid pg play

I take this anyday.
On a back-to-back-to-back and with some of the regular players and the stars being tired, it’s nice to have someone have a breakout game. We needed that and the stars shouldn’t have to give full 100% every game against sorry teams and they wouldn’t have to if we were deep. I said it the last two games that we would have won each game if we had 10-15 points off the bench. Tonight we had more than that and we won, and we did it even on a night where our two stars didn’t have their best games. Now I don’t expect Lin to score like this every game, and he doesn’t really need to, but it’s nice to have someone like this from the bench. He is a better point guard than TD is(never said better player) and that’s what we need. It was the Nets so I am not gonna make anything out of it but we needed this on a night like this after playing three nights straight.
He deserves more burn at the point guard position and he should get better. I remember when Moz finally saw playing time after sitting for months and he looked shaky at first. MDA was about to pull the plug after he saw the first couple of possessions but he suddenly exploded for 24 points, 12 boards and 3 blocks. Lin looked shaky during garbage time at first but tonight he played against Deron Williams(a superstar) and played a hell of a game. The kid is a better point guard than what we have currently so why not see what he can do as he gets more playing times. It’s good for him to get his playing time against sorrier teams and it will help him get accustomed. I don’t think he sucks but maybe was nervous the first few times he played as he never got much playing time in the past.
Good for him and, thanks, for the win. Gotta win more games now and keep hoping Milwaukee loses more. Who would have thought that it all comes down to Milwaukee but it has happened.
I can't believe I pretty much missed this entire fucking game
Sad BUT SO HAPPY FROM THESE COMMENTS
posi..tive ....thoughts..?
@krishhhayyy
Just saw Tyson Chandler's post game clothing
he looked like he was gonna go shakedown some hoes for money after the game…
i hate to sort of shut the door on mann-mann after that game
but will everybody finally please see how devastating baron davis could be???
/// aighttho.com \\\/// twitter.com/aighttho \\\
Holy crap yes
A Baron / Lin point guard rotation could be a beautiful thing.
Get The Frickin' Rebound
I can't believe I missed this game
I figured they would have a TV at the bar I went to, but they didn’t….
Hopefully this is the beginning of Lin getting regular PT over every other player on our bench. I was just about to write the same thing ‘stingy d’ wrote too….
If Lin could do this, just imagine what boom dizzle has the potential to do.
LIN!!!!
Just saw the game this morning…I’m sick that I missed it last night….GREAT job by Lin, he should have been getting playing time weeks ago. Took dantoni much too long to give him regular PT. Of course he won’t get 25 – 5 – 7 every night, but he is a competent PG. Somthing they haven’t had this year. Who said this guy was a scrub???
You just got Tysoned!!!!!!
i mean...
he’s only been with the team for ten games… and maybe 3-5 practices tops? he’s gotten some garbage minutes and the results have been mediocre at best. then he played reasonably well against the celtics, but also got ripped by avery bradley just trying to get past half court and looked shaky in general. then he has a career night.
d’antoni gave douglas one last shot against boston, and thats fair. and its obvious now that lin will overtake douglas on the depth chart. is that not enough? he is easily going to get about 25 mins a game now. thats plenty. he’s not gonna go against a horrible defense every night.
/// aighttho.com \\/// twitter.com/aighttho \\
yea...def more practices than that
but according to the post game interview, Tyson said he kills it in practice. Atkinson, or the other coach(? lol) said he’s great in practice….wtf? why didnt that translate to PT earler?? If some fans who don’t see practices believe he could have helped the team…which he has….why can’t the coaches?
You just got Tysoned!!!!!!
yea i saw that
i thought he was talking about 3-on-3… lots more space to work with.
i was under the impression that he hasn’t gotten much reps with the starting unit. and obviously none in actual games, until boston.
i guess i just feel the need to temper expectations. and also, toney douglas has never played this poorly for this long of a stretch, its got to confounding for the coaching staff.
/// aighttho.com \/// twitter.com/aighttho \
also true
now only if we can get TD back to his Excellent D, and Draining the crap out of 3’s, along with a healthy BD, and a confident Shump, we will finally have the guard depth that everyone says we’re missing.
P.S. When is Jerome Jordan gonna get sum PT? Or is he still a work in progress?

he also settled down in the Celtic game after he got the ball stole from him
and had a decent game….he didnt look that shaky…

yep i agree
i wanted to see him in the second half. but you gotta figure that the team sees the season in a grander scheme than the fanbase.
and the coaches in particular must not get TOO wrapped up in the individual games.
/// aighttho.com \/// twitter.com/aighttho \
gotta think Toney still gets burn out there
probably with Lin. We could use that accuracy he showed last year from 3, just much less dribbling – not like he dribbled too often as a PG anyway, unless he was doing his Tour de Court by running down the sideline, under the basket and back out
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
I'm watching the Knicks in 60 right now
granted this is against the Nets… but he’s an ACTUAL point guard. He can run a PnR, a fast break, he sees the floor, and just does all the things a PG should do at a NBA level.
If he improves on his ball handling and shooting, he could easily be a primary backup PG in this league. He’s probably around Duhon’s level.
15 to 18 feet seems confident and fluid.
good free throw shooter.
/// aighttho.com \\/// twitter.com/aighttho \\
He wasn't getting them to go in and his form is ugly as hell
but I’m sure he’ll work on it. He clearly has a high ball IQ.
his form looks reasonable the closer in he is
so its just confidence.
/// aighttho.com \/// twitter.com/aighttho \
also
his defense is far superior to duhon’s. and possibly even toney douglas’.
/// aighttho.com \\/// twitter.com/aighttho \\
Just finished watching the whole game
His jumpshot is very ugly, and eventually he’s going to have to improve on it because defenses will start defending him like Rondo. Only other nitpick I have offensively is that he should demand the ball more, there were times in the 4th where Melo would bring it down and Lin wouldn’t go get the ball. I know it’s probably too much too soon for him to be telling Melo what to do, but he’s a smart dude and a pure PG.
His defense pleasantly surprised me. He’s not good one-on-one, but he’s a veeeeery smart defender. He understands when the right moment to switch is. I’ve always wondered if the switch heavy defense is just being done wrong by our players, and if it’s the way Lin was doing it the defense would make a LOT more sense.
All in all, it was against the Nets and he’s going to be catching teams off guard. I like him because he’s easily the best option we have, and the only real PG on the roster. When Baron gets back it’ll be great, because he’ll get to play high energy for 18-24 min a game and push the tempo.
Other thing I LOVED, was seeing Shump telling his guys to give it to Lin and let him run the offense. Several times he would look at the guy who got the rebound and he would immediately point to Lin. Shump knows where he’s good, and this thoroughly excites me. He’s going to wreak havoc as the 2-man coming off the bench.
yea it was against the Nets
but Lin was going up against Deron Williams. that says something about Lin.
by blackhova on Feb 5, 2012 10:42 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
another thing
He should easily be better than both of those guys. He has Duhon’s smarts and Douglas’ speed. There’s no doubt in my mind that if given a real shot, he’ll end up being much better than both of those guys.
Defensively he’s already better than Douglas too. Douglas is more athletic, but he constantly makes mental mistakes defensively and gets beat off the dribble.
just love his vision
he didn’t seem to force anything last night. When his shot wasn’t there, someone was near the hoop for an easy shot and he found him – be it STAT, Tyson or even Jefferies

Swagg
awwe man. This is sooo sweet. Let’s not get overwhelmed though. And for the people whom say he cant do it against a formidable interior D. Look at the Celtics game, when he would drive and their bigs would collapse. I’m not saying he’ a CP3 or a Chauncey Billups, but he can be pivotal to instigating our offense, letting Shump play more off-ball and fly high like at GT. Hhhmmm, Now i wonder what Jerome Jordan can do??
If anything is possible, then isn't it possible for something to be impossible? SB1954
There are scorers off the bench!
Once B. Davis comes back, I expect Lin, Shump, Jorts, TD, and Walker to come off the bench and give 20-30 pts per game.
