    We had Steve Novak, how come our PGs didn't do that?

    This

    With Lowry and Dragic he would have never gotten off the bench.

    I'm not so sure about that part.

    Even Flynn got off the bench earlier in the season. He'd still be playing if he didn't suck.

    And Dragic almost got traded away before the season, there is no guarantee he won't be traded in the midseason.

    True, but he certainly wouldn't have gotten the 30-40 mins like he's been getting with the knicks.

    Also Dantoni's system is very point guard friendly.

    If Lin was given the opportunity in Houston, Morey might have tried harder to trade Dragic.

    It's not only system. The guy plays very good defense, has very good court vision, drives and finishes around the rim. His weakness is shooting.

    That reminds me Kyle Lowry 2 years ago but taller and younger.

    Lin is 20/8 after 3rd quarter. Without Anthony and Stoudemire, Knicks look like a better team. It is unbelievable.

    Lin was schooling Wall back in 2010, long before he even played in D'Antoni's system.

    Am I supposed to be happy that he is sending our pick to the 15th slot, because he gets 30-40 mins now? Hell no. Rockets all the way.

    Lin is a good player, but I doubt he would have the same success if we cut Flynn instead of him. At this point at least Lowery is still a lot better than Lin.

    Dude! Dragic is better than him too.

    HOWEVER

    pleeeease let Lin score 30 just so we can all laugh at GlenRice a bit more (even in his absence). I quite dislike Lin (simply because of the fanbois) but am enjoying the awkwardness it caused him!!

    Including tonight, Lin has had 3 very good games. That is all.

    You have to look longer to access things.

    Lets see where he after Melo and Amare get back. I am betting his numbers come way down given how many touches those 2 demand.

    It doesn't matter how much a PG scores, but how much a team scores. NY's offense looked lost without Lin running the show.

    His scoring may go down, but his assists should be higher. There is a difference between Stoudemire going for an alley-oop dunk and Jeffries (1 - 6 FG) dropping the ball on another layup attempt.

    Lin has more assists than Wall and the entire Wizards team combined.

    Maybe you have not watched tonight's Knicks game. It is in NBA TV now. Please watch it first then post your comments.

    I wish we could've kept Lin...he's a true pg unlike Dragic and he attacks the basket alot like lowry...but the truth is he probably would've just ended up buried on the bench like T-Will
