    lol faded games... are you sure the faded games aren't the real indications of Lin rather than the Linsanity games.

    Lin does well, he's healthy real self. Lin does ****, must be knee surgery

    Let's wait till the season is over and even one or two more years just to see. You haven't really looked at the Knicks track record, haven't you?

    I'm a Lin fan and I agree, coaches should be tough on you if you screw up.

    Lin still needs a measure of maturity. Lin has a bad habit of regressing when he has a VERY bad game. The first encounter with the Heat last year saw him with consecutive bad games. This time, fate has it, again it was with Miami, when he shot that embarrassing airball that incurred the wrath of Rocket fans.

    This time around he has no veterans like Chandler or even Melo who helped cheer him up after being destroyed by the Heat, to talk to him or offer advice...Afterall, they've seen walls before and knows what he's going through.

    He'll eventually gain his confidence back, and break out. He needs to mature mentally as a NBA player...I wouldn't say exactly an easy thing to do.

    Does this mean he's weak? No. I think he'll be just fine. If anything, I'd say this is just growing pains.

    Think about it, if Sampson didn't care, he wouldn't be so hard on him. I'm sure he wants his stars to do well, and when they slack off or aren't performing, its up to him to keep it real. Otherwise he wouldn't be doing his job.

    Buddy, guess what? Knicks are a contending team. Rockets are not. Btw Jason Kidd > Jeremy Lin (yes at this age) & Felton (whenever he plays for the Knicks) > Lin.

    Jeremy Lin at best should be a back up point guard.

    First, I'm not your buddy...moving along, look at what's going on with the Knicks in the last several years. Knick's management hasn't been the best. It has only been a few games so far, so I wouldn't bet anything just yet. Yes, the Knicks have been playing great..but great without Amare. Also, Lin playing with the current Knicks squad will be > then Jason Kidd or Raymon Felton with the currrent young Houston Rockets. Different team makeup...different apples. Another simle fact.

    Learn to spell.

    Jason Kidd would be hitting his 3's if he played with the Rockets. So would Felton. Jeremy Lin would make knicks worse, they probably would not be the number 1 team with Jeremy Lin.

    Likewise, but then this is not a grammer forum. Jason Kidd will be hitting 3's but still with a losing record....skill only goes so far when you are a young team. SIMPLE fact.

    i don't think the Rockets would be a losing team with Jason Kidd. That is a fact. Too much experience and knows how to set up his teammates and when to set them up.

    Perhaps, but we will never know....that's why it can't be a fact. It's a long season so that's why we can't judge until the season is over. How will Amare fit with the team when he comes back? Can Melo avoid injuries? My bet is that Houston will develop and evolve as the season progresses and will surprise a lot of people.

    whatever it is - this fridays game is going to be UGLY. Jlin is going to suck, and nobody is going to trade him with his contract.
    So stop dreaming about trading him, it's not going to happen.
    For all those haters , Jlin is going to be an expensive bench player D-leauger. Contract has been signed , it's binding. Happy now?

    Fact: Jason Kidd is one of the best point guards of all time.

    Fact: J Lin was only good for 10-15 games.

    Fact: J Lin sucks for the Rockets right now.

    Fact: J Lin fans are delusional.

    Linsanity was not Jeremy Lin per se. It's actually a sytem that involved a team effort... with complete trust on the pg to make the system work and test its limits. Jeremy made it work. Lin made a few turnovers almost every game but D'Antoni did not mind. He gave Jeremy freedom and confidence to succeed. Jeremy showed the beauty of that system if done correctly. But the most important thing....everyone was on board....for awhile at least....until Melo came back.

    How did you come up with this, where is the evidence? I can make a fictitous call too. Hypothetically speaking, Harden would benifit playing with Kidd a hell of a lot more than Lin.

    You're saying Shayan shouldn't judge until seasons end, why would you make a bet that Houston can devlop and evolve? Is that not a form of judging?
