    GlenRice is an exception. He is an Asian who hates Asian. So he hates his father, his mother and he hates himself too. I hear he pokes racist joke at his own father and his mother everyday first thing in the morning. Talking about self-contempt personalty disorder. By the way, how would I know he is Asian? His love for oyster omelette reveals his true identity. Head case.

    I don't think Baron can guard the faster PG, and Woodson is all about the D

    Morey ends up flipping Flynn and ThaBust for Camby. Most trades happen in the last 2 days before the deadline, instead of the first 2 months of the season. His conctract is worth more now, since he only has 5 weeks left on his contract vs a 66 game season.

    Morey was so desperate for a PG, he traded for "Jurassic Park(Thanks Clutch!)" Fisher. He is hitting up PG Anthony Carter's to join the Rockets, too. Lin and 3 PG >> Adrien and 7
    Forwards.

    But didn't he go to Devry or something? He can't possibly be Asian...

    BTW, your last line made me LOL.

    That same predjudice occurs when judging white players too. It's unfortunate, but it's something that likely will always be there.

    There is no question Lin has overcome a lot of adversity to get where he is and that's why he's such a good story. I don't think most who criticize him are wanting him to fail. I know I'm not. I hope the guy sticks around the NBA for a while and has a successful career. He's obviously a good role model to a lot of people. I do think a lot of the backlash comes from the fact that the media overhyped him so much. The same thing happened to Tim Tebow. It's neither of their faults but when something is jammed down the publics throat every single day on Sportscenter it gets old.

    I'll need to see more of Baron Davis getting extended minutes with the Knicks before making that judgement.

    Stoudemire Melo Woodson Kill Linsanity

    Linsanity killed off by a guy who plays no D, a idiot coach and a selfish cancer

    Great news for the Rockets picks, the Knicks were a better TEAM with Lin running the show and Melo out.

    Now they are going to go with 2 flawed scorers (Kevin Martin types) and lose because of it.

    Rox pick movin on up !

    Lin is better at scoring, but Baron Davis is the better point guard (right now). Earlier in the year, Davis was struggling to get back in form, but he seems very comfortable now and he's been directing traffic for a decade.

    The main problem is still turnovers for Lin. Baron Davis also looks for Carmelo and Amare more, to be honest. Lin still prefers Chandler and Fields (probably because they're friends).

    Oh snap! So, if Lin becomes "average" it will have been due to the Knicks GM mucking about and letting Woodson take over the coaching role. He should resign of be fired like Murrey!! :rolleyes:

    I expect to see Lin's shot attempts be very minimal.
    Woodson will make Melo & Amare the heavy focal point.

    Wouldn't be surprised to see him go with Davis, down the stretch.

    well Carmelo doesnt know how to play in any system. He's a selfish cancerous player. Just watch him play. The guy doesnt know how to win. THere is a reason why Knicks took a dump and Denver went through the roof after the trade.
    Also Melo doesnt move in the offense he stands in his position and doesnt run any pick and rolls thats why Lin doesnt pass to him. Chandler is great at Cutting. Amare is the PF version of Kevin Martin. All offense.. Puts up 20+ pts, plays zero D and has no REAL IMPACT ON THE GAME. When is the last time you heard or saw a headline ... Amare grabs 15 rebs leads knicks to win.. or Amare dominates and carries team.. NEVER ..

    So Lin takes 20+ shots per game. Knicks win. Lin ends up with career highs in points damn near every game.

    Carmelo takes 20+ shots per game. Knicks lose. Carmelo ends up with more shot attempts than points.

    Makes no damn sense that Lin is getting even more limited. I understand giving Carmelo a bigger role on offense... I mean he's getting paid max money the Knicks are obligated. (Even though he doesn't deserve it).

    Just a sad situation in NYK. Carmelo the cancer once again showing that he can't learn to play as a team.
    And to think its literally all Melo's fault. When Amar'e came back he didn't publicly voice his disapproval or frustration. He kept winning games and did not object to Lin taking the majority of their teams shots and Amar'e playing a less central role.

    Then Carmelo comes along and the first he does is complain and jack up shots.

    I don't see how you can draw such a conclusion on limited sample size (isn't that what the haters said about his success). He's still young and has room to improve. That's a lot suggesting he could go beyond a backup PG. But somehow you can't see past his bad games and completely ignoring his good games. Your obviously just as blinded as those pegging him as all-star.

    Well. Looks like Lin will never get to score past 20 again...
    But it looks like he's still getting touches.
    13 pts, 5 asts, 5 rbds, 3tos.
    Not bad.

    He'll be a solid starter in the league.
