    Agreed. He will probably turn out much better.

    Ugg the full article was already posted in the "Is Lin injured?" thread. They just want hits, so they are writing about Lin.

    It just shows he writers can use facts and quotes to push their agenda. Noticed how it was left that Lin just take 3 attempts for those highlighted 3 points? Picking Lin's quotes to portray he is a scrub? Bitter are they?

    Knicks are 2-0 I guess in preseason. They are celebrating their OT win over the celtics. All props to Felton and melo. They do have a better team ... That being having 3 max players..,

    I was watching the Heat and Clippers in China. Chris Paul got only 4 points and 6 assits in 22 minutes. Let's alert the press. Chris Paul is washed out! He's WAY overpaid! :p

    I watched knicks game last night. I just felt sorry for myself. The game was so slow. Everyone from Knicks team was not running and no ball movement. Melo came back the old 'me ball' style....

    Can't wait until the real games start so the critics can STFU.

    True. The Knicks have all ball stoppers and selfish players on the team now, other than the backup, ancient PGs. I wouldn't be surprised if the Rockets had a better record than the Knicks this season. I'd be more confident that they would if they played in the East.

    Lin is an average PG, both Lowry and Dragic are better.

    We cashed in on Lowry, gambled on Dwight and lost Dragic for nothing in the process.

    What Lin does offer, that neither Lowry nor Dragic did however, is he has high value because he is a cash cow, money wise. It was a smart pick up, if nothing else, because Lin will be a great trade asset, specifically to smaller market teams who might need an influx of cash.

    I never envisioned Lin as part of our long term plans.

    Basketball news gathered from around the net.

    Report: Rockets Coaches Believe Lin Needs To Work Harder

    Coaches of the Houston Rockets have expressed displeasure with Jeremy Lin’s rehabilitation efforts from left knee surgery.

    Lin allowed Russell Westbrook to score 19 points in 16 first-half minutes last Wednesday.

    “More than a problem with his knee, what I saw again from Lin is that he is limited as an athlete,’’ was how one person with years of NBA experience put it after seeing Lin’s preseason debut. “Offensively, he should be fine. But when he has to guard opposing point guards, especially guys with speed like Russell Westbrook, he is going to really struggle.’’

    Lin cites problems with his knee for his early struggles with the Rockets.

    “My speed and my explosiveness and my agility (are not) there yet,” he said the other day.

    Have you ever seen Lin play? Cuz it seems to me that you have no idea what you're talking about.

    can a mod combine this thread to the "is lin injured?" thread? The NYDaily News article has already been discussed there.

    This is the most hilarious PR campaign I have ever seen... is Karl Rove running the NY Knicks now? The two supporting pieces of actual info they have in the article came from "one person with years of NBA experience" (that means a NY Knick season ticket holder), and "some Rockets coaches that confided" (yeah, and I want you to meet my girlfriend, who is a model, but she is in Canada right now).

    So is anyone keeping count of how many bitter articles the NY Daily has printed that were written with the sole intention of trying to start rumors or cause Lin/Rockets trouble?

    This is what the knick fan base wants to read.

    They are pathetic and so is their team.
