    Brace yourselves rockets fans. Ny"s sudden optimism and the silence on the part of themknicks's front office makes me nervous.

    I'm assuming you are implying they decided not to match and realized it was a mistake right away and will now match?

    Hasn't Lin made the Knicks owners over $52 million dollars already?

    Yyyyeah, this is what happens when I forget to say I was kidding.

    I'm a child of the '80s; I know what New Coke was and how much of a disaster it became.

    I was just joking about the picture and how the can that says "new" looks old, but the one that says "classic" looks brand-new.

    If you have to explain the joke, there IS no joke.

    I apologize.

    I'm probably feeling 60/40 they'll match right now. It's hard to really say. There are real, plausible reasons they might not match, most importantly Dolan being butthurt but also the practical financial implications. However, it seems like the fans are clamoring for them to match, and ultimately their success as an organization depends on the fans.

    We'll see. I hope we have a really pissed off New York coming late Tuesday night, but I will not be shocked at all if Lin is not a Rocket.

    I think the Knicks desire to have Lin overwhelms the sanity in not matching. They will do the linsane thing by matching.:grin:

    More or less. That, and the prospect of losing Lin was a necessary element of suspense to help make the news of retaining him that more glorious to Knicks fans.

    My sauces tell me, the NY Knicks will match. We all know NY loves the drama. This is all a ploy to get the fans to come together and get another storyline going into next season after last season ended in a dud for them.

    And it's also just the plain ol fact that it's Houston Sports. We always seem to get our hearts broken. With our luck, the NYK decide to match at the last minute after numerous tweets throughout the day said they won't.

    Maybe we should start a petition for a no Dwight Howard trade! "Say no to D-Ho"

    Match or no Match, this is the most publicity we have gotten since Ming retired.
