    How are the Knicks doing so well without Lin as their starting PG?

    Maybe one of the many Knicks fans on this forum can go to the game and hold up a sign that says "FREE JEREMY LIN!!"

    That's the word coming out of Knickland. He will decide if he can go right before the game...

    The Knicks won against Miami a couple of weeks ago without Melo.

    I remember people wanted Woodson when Adelman got fired and in hindsight, it would've been a great hire.

    My prediction is we're going to lose and McHale is going to bench Lin at a critical juncture and not give Harden a single minute of rest so he burns himself out trying to iso and save our team. And then Parsons will drown his sorrows in the bosoms of the Knicks' cheerleaders.

    I have zero faith in our coaching staff at this point, if it isn't obvious.

    Lin needs to drive to the basket rather than settling for jumpers, since his jumper is very inconsistent

    Hopefully Melo is out, Lin always played better without him :grin:

    Personally, I would say the advent of the Kidd-Chandler combo. Those two are making everything click in New York. Woodson being a less intrusive coach than D'Antoni was helped, but the addition of Kidd was absolutely huge.

    Unfortunately, the Knicks play better without Melo, too.

    The bookies aren't giving the Rockets a chance. Moneyline is over $5.

    It's tempting to back the Rockets then lay if they manage to get a good lead at some point.

    If it turns into a three-point shooting contest, the knicks will win. lin will most probably be a non-factor scoring wise, but will rack up double double in assists and rebounds along with 4 steals. :) He will shut felton and kidd down though. So, rest of team will need to step it up offensively. If the knicks can keep the tempo of the game down, we will get blown out tonite.

    Without Melo the Knicks were almost beat by the Cavs but that had to do with Kyrie dropping a ton of points. Thankfully, we have Harden who might be able to replicate if he is able to shoot at an efficient clip. Lin will have his hands full guarding Felton who loves taking 30 shots when Melo is not playing.
