Woo, I have to say, Jeremy Lin seems like a breath of fresh air. I don’t get to catch every Knick game, but I do keep up here with this really awesome community. I can’t wait for the next game night!
But before we get there, there’s this that I have to say:
When you exoticize a person, you put them on a pedestal for a reason other than their athletic success. It’s not fair to the subject of your exoticism, because being exoticized focuses on elements other than our actual achievements. It’s not fair to the exoticised culture, because it makes that culture an “other,” fundamentally different than ours. And it’s not fair to the person exoticizing others, because it demeans their own accomplishments as lesser because they’re “normal”.
It is fine to say that Lin likely had to endure a lot of racism in his rise through the NBA, because that’s reasonable conjecture. It’s cool to say that his countrymen can be proud of him, if they’re into the NBA or even if they’re not. But to call him the yellow this or that, or the Asian sensation, makes him something OTHER than us.
We all sometimes get caught up in the moment and don’t think about what we’re saying, but there’s a lot of racist shit on this blog right now. I respect all of you – well, most of you, I have the feeling there are more than a few people just about ready to jump to the Nets – and I expect better.
I certainly expect more respect than that paid to a guy doing his best and winning for his team, and there’s no reason Lin shouldn’t get it. We NEED him playing well!

I make my share of tongue-in-cheek asian jokes in regards to Lin. I'm Korean so I think I can make those.
but yeah, I’ve seen some SMH-worthy posts here regarding asian ethnicity. It’s cool because everyone’s caught up in the moment, but let’s not go down the road of Yello Melo or whatever that shit was.

All good points. I failed to recognize the seriousness people here take about this world that they view from the periphery, commenting on these things like it matters.. I’ll refrain from using Kobe’s self-annointed Black Mamba nickname, or Jason Williams’ White Chocolate (not that anyone has a reason to talk about him) also.

Oh, and Lin is a god.
No he isn't
Kobe shot 1-10 to finish that 76ers game tonight. It may have been 1-11+, but i didn’t check the box score until he was 9-16…he finished 10 for 26.
This is going to sound bonkers but I'm pretty sure Jeffries deserves to take some of Amare's minutes
The team defense is just so much better when he’s on the floor.
That's like me saying Shump is better at PG
JJ is too much of an offensive liability
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.
now when Lin sets him up
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
Dude JJ blew a ton of layups tonight, he just got lucky with charges and fouls
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.
You would break Lin's confidence if you take away his favorite target, Jeffries!
A void? I see no void!
I know
just messing. He is always a good target for Lin though, and will continue to get plenty of PT, so just hope his shot improves enough to not be a disadvantage. He drew a bunch of fouls running the floor well in transition, so that could be something he relies on to score
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
I mean
people don’t respect him much, and he is always there on the baseline, Lin will need someone to kick it out to, even if they can’t always finish
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
Setting picks
JJ sets solid picks, and the D doesn’t concern themselves too much with JJ on the roll, thus he’s become semi productive on the PnR. I really believe though the PnR will work with Lin as long as whoever is setting the pick sets a solid, fundamental pick….not one of those half ass, brushing shoulders ever so slightly type of pick
I think it will work regardless, which bodes well for STAT
Lin has looked so damn fast out there, and able to squeeze into space that no NBA player should be able to
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
too many layups!
but kudos to him for hustling all night. his length plays to an advantage against shorter bigs.

No way
The number of points that were lost when Lin drove and only had Jeffries to dish to were amazing. I bet he would have had 12-14 assists with Amare inside.

still should take away from Amar'e's minutes
More Jeffries on the court means more defense
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
Ok so let's trade Amar'e for Ben Wallace, and Melo for Ron Artest?
I don’t understand your logic
I don't think there's a number for how far you missed the point
point is Amar’e should have some minutes taken away due to defense. For as great as the Lin to Mare combo will be, Jeffries defense is also a must.
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
Amare already loses minutes to JJ for defense, the thing is that unfortunately after defense comes a thing JJ is horrific at, that being offense
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.
STAT has been playing too many min
if JJ can keep up the good D, he can share the court with Melo and his O wont be needed as much.
I think it was Bobby V who said: "You are never as good as you are when you are at your best, and you are not as bad as when you are at your worst."

is a beast on offense. watch his college shit! lol

15 ppg and 7 rpg
not bad, but hardly exciting stuff, guess you had to see it?
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
He was one of the team's primary scoring options iirc
but unfortunately as we all now know, his shot release was too slow for the NBA because of his cast iron skillet-hands.
Bully lost his spot to Novak for now
or so I can only hope

He hit some big threes himself tonight and is playing smarter on defense.

You guys are wilding!
J-Lin is just a decent distributor capable of making Knicks bums look good the day after the NY Superbowl with one star hurt and another star in mourning.
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.
And a decent scorer too
Back to back 25+ nights — Stoudemire hasn’t done that yet (in fact’s Amare’s only reached 25 thrice this season!).
And don’t underestimate the dishing accomplishment either. The Knicks’ bench is widely regarded as the league’s worst, and Lin made them look competent — even formidable! That takes more than decent distribution skills. That’s a smart team player.
Oh, and the Knicks’ third star, Chandler, sat out most of the game in foul trouble. Lin led the Knicks to their second win of the season over a .500+ team with literally “a bunch of guys”.
hopefully we won't need 25+ from him a night
just all the dimes he can carry in his pocket. With better players out there, and thus more rest, I have to imagine the turnovers die down
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
why not take em?
Lin’s baskets aren’t lucky chucks. He’s breaking down the defense with smart drives, and he keeps his head up. That gets him easy pts and ft attempts, and creates opportunities for everyone else.
He shot 59% tonight and 53% on Sat. (By comparison, neither Stoudemire nor Melo has had back-to-back games shooting over 50% yet this season). With efficiency like that, I’d love to see him becoming a primary scorer.
I think he will score a lot
especially with better guys around him who won’t be doubling him. I just hope we don’t need it.
The reason the past two games been so exciting for me has been that he only needs a half step and he is on his way to the basket for either a layup or a foul, or both! It is the most exciting dribble and two steps I seen on the Knicks in….
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
Yeah. I just love his game.
It makes me feel like a kid again watching him. He’s so cool!
I'm telling you, if we can grind our way through LA and MN, no reason we can't be back at .500 by next week
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.
I predicted 7-2 over the next 9 games following that win over Cleveland..
unfortunately they already got those 2 losses..albiet in super close fashion. Whatever just keep the momentum going

I wasn’t expecting another 20+pt game. The 7 turnovers was a little too much but he looked super gassed by the 3rd quarter. Hope D’Antoni isn’t going to kill the kid to save his job. Can’t wait to see him run a proper PnR with Amar’e because that will be magical.

that 3rd quarter was bad
only Novak could score. Poor Lin looked dead and alone on offense. Jefferies the same look
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
Chandler is terrific...
…and this kind of game can only help in the future. Glad to see Melo come out on the court to be with team at the end.
To all the doubters and haters:
1)Knicks had a bench all along. Just no one to pass the rock to them
2)Yes, a Pg IS that important to Mike D’Antoni.
Another fact is that people are saying
That Amar’e and Melo were the problem, playing “me-first basketball”
Well. without a dsitributing, penetrating point guard, they had no choice! Of course they’re better off with Lin!
That's exactly right
Melo knew he had to take over because there was no leadership.

Jared Jeffries is SUCH a team player
His offense is…hilariously sad sometimes, but that makes him all the more endearing almost. I love the guy’s defensive effort and hustle, and constant sacrificing of his body.

True.
But I swear I couldn;t stop chuckling when I heard the crowd collectively yelll “NNNNnnnooooooooo!!!!” when Jefferies squared to shoot.

If they kept track of Offense Charges like they do blocks
JJ would be considered a much better player.
think about it, a guy that avg 3-4 blocks a game is considered awesome… but JJ does that with charges and the bonus is the guy gets a foul!
I think it was Bobby V who said: "You are never as good as you are when you are at your best, and you are not as bad as when you are at your worst."
I would loooove to see the Knicks' proprietary team stats. I know NBA teams have been jumping onto the stat nerd revolution and tracking this shit.
If Dantoni could, he’d probably wave a sheaf of papers with Jeffries and +1s all over the chart saying “See? SEE?? He saves possessions motherfuckers!”

raw +/- is garbage
though I’m curious as to how he stacks up in regards to adjusted +/-.

When you only come in for all-stars and the guys you’re on the court with play like ass (which has been the case 90% of the time), you can’t expect to have a great +/-

Is it wrong to say that I loved watching a scrappy Knicks team anchored by Tyson Chandler?
Is it wrong to think that maybe the Knicks are more exciting when they don’t have many superstars?
I mean really… look how hard those guys were working. Jefferies drawing 5 charges and getting excited about people barrelling into him in the same way guys get pumped from hitting huge 3s.
Lin driving fearlessly to the hole and Knicks ball movement kicking around. I mean, they made plenty of mistakes with quick shots, forced 3s and some slow defensive switching. But they were all hustling and they were forced into playing team ball because there was no predetermined #1 guy. And having such an unselfish guy in the middle in Chandler, and knowing there really wasn’t anyone else to replace them; it just seemed to bring confidence. I wanted to standup and cheer for this group too!

So many people seem to use the success of this team out there to hate on those two, which is silly.
I respect your sentiment, though.
Still, this lineup can’t win too many, it’ll need them to get back as soon as possible to keep winning.
Lin can’t play 40+ minutes a night.

think Lin needed rest by the middle of the third
but back-to-back nights getting a second wind in the fourth

Better defensive team without Melo and Stat
But I don’t like pumping oxygen into Lin every game. He needs a break. Just Imagine what we would be like when our team if fully healthy with jr or ga on our team
PG-Baron/Lin/Shump/Douglas
SG-Fields/JR/Shump/Walker/Douglas
SF-Melo/Fields/Shump/Balkman
PF-Amare/Jefferies/Jorts/Novak
Center- Chandler/Jorts/Jefferies/Jordan
One little wrinkle...
8 turnovers.
But hey, now he knows what to expect.
yeah defense is now starting to adjust to him lets hope he can adjust as well
with melo healthy against wizard we will be alright
Melo will be out for sure
but the Wiz D won’t be able to stop Lin at all

well Billups is a possible HOF point guard. A veteran that knows his shit
but very close to the end of his career, didn’t fit with the D’Antoni system
Lin is a young player with some upside! Fits perfectly with Dantoni! Gimme energy! Gimme Lin!
the Knicks were still semi decent when Billups was here
so obviously a PG, even if he just chucks up bricks all day, as long as he knows what he’s doing its all we need.

They were about to get Chandler, and they would have still had Lin (though I doubt he would have cracked the rotation), and we swooped in, and now we’ve got both.
And they are reduced to claiming that Nate Robinson is just as good. Nate can do some stuff, but he can’t do what Lin just did the last couple of games.
WOW, is all I can say. I can’t believe the dude scored MORE than 25 tonight.

Nate can score 40
but that’s neat for a game or two, but it doesn’t last. Lin distributes. We didn’t have Amar’e tonight and last game he was in foul trouble. Amar’e with a legit PnR PG is a great combo. If he’s in there Lin has 15 assists tonight and Amar’e cracks 40.

We would've had him last year but he didn't like the deal we offered. Just before the playoffs Houston waived him and Walsh set it up, but D'Antoni turned him down. Then we get swept by the Celtics and a P&T signature is born.
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.
That is to say, we didn't cut him last year he walked for more money elsewhere, but later he got waived and we could've had him for cheap during the playoffs
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.
Yeah because Earl smelled our desperation for a big man and wanted some ridiculous contract.
My thing is he got cut from every single team he joined afterwards. Either he’s a cancer in the locker room or he just isn’t that good. I don’t really see any mitigating circumstances for all those cuts and waives.
He does have an awesome name, though.

I want him to keep attacking the basket. His tools SCREAM for more penetration.

To be fair, it's a security guard and a new bench player who the knicks have had roughly 500 of over the past 4 years
The coach one is really bad because he’s … uh .. a coach
Do the Shumpty Shump, come on and do the Shumpty Shump
obviously they had never met
but he must have known he had a player named Jeremy Lin

well to be honest
he does have the build of a trainer. if u never seen the guy play would u pick him up on the courts? its not so much a disrespect thing. its just that his heritage/race is not usual in the NBA

I agree on all except
A+ ball handler. at this point point I give him a B. he still randomly dribbles into turnovers when presses hard. but his penetration handles are A. his first step is his #1 tool. if he can prove to be consistent with a jumper than we might have something here for real.

a lot about him is still to be determined
will be more pressure on him to succeed when playing big minutes with the big names, but there will also be a lot more room to operate with people not straying far from STAT and Melo. He got to play with those guys vs Jersey and only had the 1 TO

2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
If anyone care, Hollinger appearntly had Lin as a late first rounder early second
when he was going into the draft.
GUYS! We're 2nd in NBA for steals and forced turnovers!
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.
Celtics fan here
And I’m thinking Knicks are gonna be a lot harder to beat next time. Congrats to Lin — the real thing, apparently, just sitting on the bench all this time. Wow. Congrats to all Knicks fans too.
But MDA?…. I’m not so sure he deserves much credit here, tho Lin (wisely) gives it to him. How does a coach let somebody THAT good sit on the bench all this time, doing basically nothing? I don’t get it. Knicks still need a better coach imo… but hey, it might not matter.
He didn't know what he had. Give him a break. And btw, look at what MDA does to the stat line of every PG he has ever coached.
Id rather have Lin than Avery Bradley. Tell u that.
Me too
Bradley’s on-the-ball D may be as good as it gets…. but it’s day-vs-night in every other department. Gimme Lin anytime.
wasn't it Bradley who embarassed Lin like 10 seconds after he got into that Boston game?
J/W
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
Bradley is a great defender
Few people know this outside of Boston (and even there), but he’s one of the best on-the-ball defenders in the NBA. Amazing lateral quickness and hands. So not surprising he gave Lin trouble. Btw, Bradley’s offense…. woeful.
it wasnt really all that time.
he joined the team late, and there have been no practices. He has been getting garbage min, but had impressed and the min started to grow. there were some poor showings in there too. Yes, us fans were screaming for him earlier, but we scream for anyone different until they get on teh court then we scream for the new guy.
maybe mike d should have gone to the well a little earlier, and most of us saw him putting Toney D out there in teh 2nd half agaisnt you guys as a last chance for Toney…
One thing about MIke D is he is stubborn. It can bit you, like sticking with Toney over Lin too long… but it can be a positive too… like Landry coming around.
I think it was Bobby V who said: "You are never as good as you are when you are at your best, and you are not as bad as when you are at your worst."
I tellya this...
At the last game in the Garden… I remember seeing Lin play and thinking… Man, that kid is QUICK. But that was all, because he wasn’t out there long enough. But he did stick out for me….. and I’m just a fan, seeing him for a few minutes.
No… Lin is TOO GOOD, and the time he sat on the bench too long, for this to make sense. Not to me anyway.
To be fair
He did have that awful game where he was dribbling the ball off his foot or into traffic and commited like 4 fouls in 4 mins.
But anyone who’s watched him play before knows that was just nerves and rust. I would have liked for Lin to come off the bench sooner, but in general I agreed with not throwing him into the fire right of the bat
he sat on the bench for about 5 games
and barely practiced.

When you screw up as badly as Brady did...
…along with those 3 dropped passes…. you don’t deserve to win.
Brady played great
and there were 2 dropped passes. The “third” was a dropped interception by Kenny Phillips, so it basically was a tipped pass that was nearly impossible for Deion Branch to catch.

a coach can only do so much
this team would have a better record even if players just hit open shots at a higher rate
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
exactly my point..
the offense is predicated on jacking up shots…we have poor shooters..which has resulted in a poor record…thats the coachs fault for not adjusting to his personnel
J Lin hopefully can continue to keep the ball moving…him and Tyson are going to make a sick 2 man game..when Stat comes back I guarantee jumps in offensive output across the board
If Melo continues to buy into the offense and think move ball only shoot when were down on the shot clock its game over..Pringles and his offense will take us deep into the playoffs..unfortunately he just does not have what it takes to win a Chip’ hes too of a poor decision maker come game time adjustments..playoffs and finals are all about adjustments…and you know how stubborn this guy is already

the coach slowed it down for the fat piece of shit #7
that didn’t work. Speeds it up to help get the O going, but they can cuz no PG. Its the roster bub.
Now there’s a PG capable of distributing and it all looks good. Its the roster.

Was the first Knick in the gym post-lockout. Leads the team in assists. Second most clutch shooter in the NBA and the most versatile. I fully understand that without a decent PG D’Antoni’s system can’t work…but a decent PG is much easier to get than a Western Conference-tested clutch scorer. Don’t sulk over the trade

Yeah man
The melo hate is over the top. Not his fault that they don’t have shooters that can finish the open looks he get them.
Could he improve? Yes. But he is trying and many of his bad looks come from other players not moving and the shot clock running down.

defend him all you want..dudes gone this season unless we win the east..A Randoplh is raw hes going to be a contributor on the Wolves..bet he drops season highs on us Saturday
nothings impossible…crazy how Melo and Stat have yet to run a PNR together..thought that maybe a good idea since Melos a great passer and Stat runs the PNR like no ones business..just a thought or just crazy talk
defense is better all around than it ever was this year….credit to Tyson and that round mound of intensity sitting next to him named Mike Woodson
and if BD was playing..J Lin would of never seen the light of day..I bet the bank on that

Yea, credit to Tyson. How the fuck do you play defense without someone like that? There’s a reason we got him you know. You can’t play defense without the players. Mike Woodson’s done nothing.
And yes, if BD was playing Lin never sees the light of day. And that’s a good thing cuz Baron Davis is a better player.

2. Pringles will never win a TITLE..NEVER….write that down
3. Right the other 22 teams that were ahead of us last season in team defense apparently all had Tyson Chandler as their center…take a picture of that one
4. BD is better than Lin? based on his career averages and experience? I got love for BD but on the court right now at this point in both of their careers..J Lin is the better point guard…hes faster, already has better court vision and definitely smarter…only thing BD has is his offensive intangibles

Now go do some hipster-esque things and stop hating on a team that barring a good PG (who is injured) 9 out of 10 GMs would want.
The Pringles System is predicated on shooting 3s. No 3 point shooters doesn’t mean a loss. It just means the system has to change. Which it won’t.
it's predicated on ball movement and open jumpers
Paul Silas also gets upset when his players don’t take the open shot. I guess Dantoni and Silas are the only coaches who do that!
I dream of Eddy Curry feeding me fish sticks.
Look at it Dave. Look at it.
Rule 1 of Basketball forum arguing
Don’t cite the Bobcats personel.
I'll just go line by line.
Anthony Randolph is in his 6th season. “Raw” is no longer applicable. I was as hyped as anyone to see what he could develop into for us, but whenever he got into games he was pulling the same “Blow off Rubio and try to run the fast break with disastrous results” that he’s doing in Minny. He, as well as fans, think too highly of his skills.
Also I’m pretty sure us fans are the only ones who’ve thought of a Melo/STAT P&R. Yep. Dantoni definitely has never thought of it, and has DEFINITELY never told the two to run it. Because that’s crazy talk. Maybe it’s more on the players who have a rep for ISO’ing and ignoring the offense than the guy screaming on the sidelines who never has the ball in his hands.
Please name three players that Dantoni had at one time on the same roster who have the defensive acumen that Shump, Chandler, and Jared bring to the team. I posit that having some defensive-minded players for once is making the team look better defensively EONS more than any “defensive minded coach” like Woodson will ever do. I must have somehow missed how Atlanta was some kind of lockdown defensive team.
And yeah. You’re right. Lin would never have seen the light of day if Baron was active. But he’s not, and Dantoni himself said he’s glad he was able to see what Lin had to offer when given the opportunity. That’s more an indictment on the NBA’s overarching mindset than anything specific to the coach.

Not even gonna pick apart that reply.
Instead I’ll ask you to consider the rest of the roster that year. Let’s say I’m generous and those three were all night-in/night-out good defenders. Even A defenders like Shump/Jared/Chandler as a group are. You really think those three players, on that roster that they were on, would have been a good defensive team?
You get my point, right? Woodson’s defense that he brought to the Knicks has already been criticized as “predictable” by other teams 1/3 of the way into the season. The dude has had 23 games as our “defensive guy” and the league already has him figured out.
I dream of Eddy Curry feeding me fish sticks.
Look at it Dave. Look at it.
Shump is 8th in steals
but I wont say hes a good defensive guy just yet..he will be though…his hustle on defense actually hides his defensive liablilities…his rotation and timing need work along with his team defense overall
yea i get the point…but our defense is still better than it ever was when Pringles has been at the helm..Tyson is a difference maker but guard D, rotations and individual assignments have been overall better which I credit to Woodson
and this is the NBA…everyone knows everyones defensive schemes its pretty predictable all around

There are differences between teams' defensive philosophies.
The Bucks talked about how they knew what we were going to do on defense and how we switch on everything and took advantage of it. Knowing our defensive philosophy compared to how the Bulls play defense is apples to oranges. Everyone knows Miami can’t hang with the few extra passes that lead to the open shot. Everyone also knows Miami can’t play against the zone for some reason. Either way, Miami has their record and we have ours.
Our defense is better this year than any year Dantoni’s had the helm because:
A) for the past three years Dantoni’s coached 70-80 players. What defensive principles/stability would you even imagine could stick with that?
B) We have the best combination of defensive minded players on the roster that we’ve had in recent memory. Take a look at how Dallas’ Drtg jumped after they signed Chandler. Now look at how ours has jumped from last year to this.

What does AR have on you
Its hard to take you seriously when you are leading with Randolph as your main argument. Really? You have seen him play in Minn right? What’s he averaging again?
Melo and Amare not running the pick and roll is the coaches fault? When you are multiple time all stars you should be able to figure it out without the coach babysitting you through one of the most fundamental plays in basketball. At this point in their careers, do Amare and Melo really need someone teaching them how to do a p&r? Come on get serious dude.
you are a certified clown…no one said teach them anything…but he is responsible for executing what he wants them to do..Hes a COACH!

Coach is responsible for teaching
Players are responsible for executing. Defenses take away what offenses love to do(eg – teams starting to force Lin left) and it’s up to the players to react and find a way to still execute. Unless QBs and pitchers started playing defense and I never noticed, superstars in basketball have a ridiculously larger impact on the game than any single superstar in any other team sport. It’s like bagging on the triangle during the Lakers ‘03-’05 season because they didn’t have the players to make it right.
I dream of Eddy Curry feeding me fish sticks.
Look at it Dave. Look at it.
You wanna knock on MDA and the best you can come up with is he didn’t play your boy, AR? I am sorry, but your concept is full of crap. There are many good coaches who don’ have rings so that’s not everything. There are also great players without rings(Ewing, Malone etc) so that means they weren’t winners by your logic. Pringles ran this system in Phoenix but you must not have been watching. It was good enough to go toe to toe with Lakers, Spurs and Mavs. In case you forgot, this same system swept the Spurs two years ago and we wouldn’t have this conversation if it weren’t for suspensions.
You killed even more when you praised Woodson, who got fired by the Hawks. I bet you miss Zeke and Scott Layden, huh?
What?? Those were some of the worst attacks on Dantoni I've ever seen.
How dare a coach fall in love with a transcendental PG like Nash? How could he have given up on the atrocity of talent that is Anthony Randolph??

yo my bad, but I've never seen you on this blog before so I'm assuming you're fresh to the site, but this is some tired shit that has been said ad nauseum for months.
So if we’re going by rings there are only like 2 or 3 good coaches in the entire L? His team’s defense(on teams that aren’t punting the first two/three years of his contract) has actually been avg or slightly above. I’ll take that with a combined guaranteed Top 5 offense every year.
Not really sure why he’s a stopgap, either. Do you remember how bad things where when he first came? Be rational and assume that Phil Jackson ain’t walking through that door. Who’ve we been keeping that coaching seat warm for four years for? Why not just hire some nobody then? We got one of the top coaches in the league who was looking for an opportunity to shove it in Phoenix’s face. I don’t want to run him out of town before he has a chance to try and compete with a team that he’s actually had time with. Amare’s been here less than two years and already he’s talking about how he feels like this is his “third team” while he’s been here.
I dream of Eddy Curry feeding me fish sticks.
Look at it Dave. Look at it.
People say defense wins titles...but you always have high volume star scorers and a system to put them together
We have a top ten defense right now guys. If we can fuse Melo and Amare’s game, either with Lin or Biddy or point-forward Melo, then you’ve got ALOT of potential.
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.
were about to turn this ship around no doubt about it…but we are all hinging on J Lin which could be or a bad thing to be the reason for our success
B Davis back to play 15-20 a night would be phenomenal…teams just beginning to get the system and most importantly Melo is buying into it…if Stat comes back hitting that jumper and running a pretty and I mean pretty ass PNR with J Lin..the offense is going to be top 5 in scoring by seasons end
Defense has to stay in the top 10…guards have to play better perimeter defense and Stat needs to step it up a notch
im assuming this all falls into place around mid April early May…just in time to be the hottest team going into the playoffs

I also enjoy fucking prom queens.
But this is a different era from even the 90’s. All the rule changes have made offense the focal point of the league and it takes a whole team concept to forge the kind of championship-defense you’re talking about.
Which is the kind of team defense we’re actually playing now that we have a defensive pivot and some mutual trust as we rotate like the fucking Earth(seriously stop rotating on everything guys). I assume you watched last year’s Finals. Everyone had Miami’s defense above Dallas’, but holy shit they could not get a bucket when they needed it even though they had Lebron and Wade on the court. You need both, and I believe with the players and coach we have this year, we are approaching the right mix.
And let’s not use Dolan’s judgement on whether to extend Dantoni as the metric in deciding his coaching worth. We’re talking about a Dolan who fired Donnie Walsh and stepped in and fucked up the entire Denver deal. The only good thing about having Dolan as an owner is his gaping wallet.
i’m not saying to get Paul Westphal in. I also highly, highhhhhly value defense. Just saying the right mix is everything, and to focus on one

this is pointless….here are my take aways and it back to 2K
- MDA is an offensive dude…Tyson and Mike Woodson additions have helped him get better defensivley
- we both like the KNicks
- were probably both tired of arguing when we can be either sleeping or bashing Pacer/Bulls/Heat fans
nice arguing with you bro

True. We're both Knick fans. We're cool.
But fuck those Pacer/Bulls/Heats fans. Now I know you’re a 90’s man so we got some common ground haha.
Fuck the Celtics while I’m at it.

let see how much time Steve Novak (19ts tonight and i believe 5-7 from 3pt land) plays in the next 10 games and I’ll show you exactly why Pringles sucks at coaching

I agree there are situations where he could have helped the team if he was in, but let's not go crazy and assume we know better than Pops or Carlisle.

Subtlety
seems to be lost on you – I don’t know anyone here that would say he’s a coaching g**. Far from it – he shares the blame for the poor start as much as his players do. But if you want to be taken seriously, drop the c*** and s***** talk when someone calls you out on something stupid. And yes, using Anthony Randolph as a good reason that D’s a horrible coach is pretty lame.
Huh, Randolph?
Kid, put down whatever you are smoking. Nobody has given Randolph a chance because he does not have it. The guy can’t even average 6 pts on a team with R. Rubio dishing out assists.
As for making 2 all stars co-exist, of course, those 2 all stars don’t have any of the responsibility, right? Not only that, both of those all stars have been very adamant that this is not D’Antoni but rather on them.
And what’s not to love about Nash. Really? One of the best point guards in the league for 10+ years.
From watching the games Rubio actually likes dishing to AR at first when Rubio came of the bench
A void? I see no void!
Yeah
to the tune of Randolph avg. less than 6 points a game – he has gotten a DNP the last three games. Its the story of his career – the coaches get excited by a couple of good flashes, and then they realize that they really have someone that seems lost most of the time.
bro cleanup...you have Pringle semen all over your mouth...wow

2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
It's hard to overstate how big of an impact even Cleveland Baron would have on this team
A consistent 13 and 7 point guard would be a game changer for us.
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.
Most players make full recovery from herniated disks.
And his reduced playing time last year with the Cavaliers was due to the fact that he was playing on a dead last team, so there was simply no need to play an injury-prone player making 14 million a year heavy minutes. He averaged 30 mpg with the clippers before he was traded, probably due to the fact that they were trying to make the playoffs until they realized they were out of it and needed to dump salary.
Seriously
Shouldn’t you be in bed by now? Elementary school usually starts before 8am.
But really? I mean all the other teams were knocking down this kids door as I hear it so of course Coach D is a fool for not letting him start the moment he got here. I don’t know anyone, not even the people on this board who love Lin, who could have ever imagined he would provide this in our wildest dreams. And as a counterpoint, doesn’t Lin show the beauty of the Coach D system which allows a team to thrive with an unheralded pg? But not sure if you’ve got to counterpoint yet – it comes after you learn the alphabet…

what must be going through this kids head? A week ago he was an after though to most Knicks fans, and a no one to everyone else. Now he is trending on twitter every Knicks game, had a animation of his game made, had his name and MVP chanted at him during games
2012 New York Mets, World Series Champions!
He went to Harvard, went undrafted, got picked-up-then-dropped effectively by three teams. I imagine he appreciates where he is and the moment, but will keep his head together and continue to work hard because he knows this could all go away in a heartbeat.

Yea, but the problem is less and less his shot selection and more his shots just not going in

I dream of Eddy Curry feeding me fish sticks.
