    All specs...

    Tommy Beer: Jared Jeffries, on ESPN radio this morning, say he believes the #Knicks will NOT match, and Lin will play for the Rockets next season.

    At least we will have an all star from Houston at the ASG in H-Town this year (not worthy, but he might get voted in like Yao). Lets see how the drama pans out.

    A pair up of Lin and Dwight would be nice to watch.

    He also had that stellar performance vs. Miami Heat.

    Now i enjoyed dragic ball and everything but rockets fans need to ask themselves...

    What is better..

    1.) Lin/Howard(Asik?)
    or
    2.) Dragic/Camby/Dally.

    1 is the answer.

    Lin may not be the best pg in the world, but he does play with a lot of heart. As that Harvard-educated brain improves, he'll be less turnover risk. It's possible he'll be solid for us at the point for many years. Let's root for him, and hope for the best. That said, I'm seriously disappointed Morey let Dragic go--to pay Lin more money? Well, it's Lin for the win, and we're all in now.

    Turnovers are not basketball IQ problem, his dribble is too high and he is making it easy for opponents to strip the ball away.

    That is true. He does have a high dribble and does not crouch well.

    One game doesn't make a career.. it only makes you better when you learn mistakes and if i do recall... it was his first time getting significant playing time and if thats one game out of 26 where he makes mistakes. You have to live with it.

    Bottomline is he will learn. Dragic left so paying 8 million annually for a guy who has projected upside is easy to sign off on.

    People whine and complain about a 3 yr - 25 million dollar deal but fail to realize there are far worse players who haven't done nearly as much. Getting paid more....

    Lets see how this pans out and keep searching youtube videos for reasons to back your idiotic statement up.

    Let's hope he's doing dribbling drills like crazy while he rehabs his knee.

    Most Knick fans still believe Lin will be matched. The reason being is that Shumpert will still be out by the time the season starts and they needed another guard. Plus the belief that Felton can play the 2 guard. I can't wait to find out the outcome Tuesday 10:59 local time.
