that post doesnt even make sense. If Lin was black, THEY WOULD NOT HAVE PUBLICLY CALLED OUT HIS CONTRACT. You dont do that. ITS STUPID. Not only are you messing with his money, YOU ARE MESSING WITH EVERYBODY'S MONEY & PLAYERS WHO ARE COMING. Why do you think nobody questioned AROD's money? because they knew that would help other players get money.
Lin can go left. Stop being obtuse. He's just not adept at it. why? BECAUSE HE'S RIGHT HANDED. Just like a southpaw is not as adept going right because?........ HE'S RIGHT HANDED.
Why dont we just wait for the next season to compare? 2 years ago Felton put up good numbers and Lin was berely trying to make it..... 2 years later Lin blew up and Raymond who? So this comparison will never work untill Felton plays and Lin plays..... As of now, lets call it even..... Felton = Lin...... By next summer we will know..... But lets not forget who is younger and has more time to improve..... "cough" Lin......
Don't worry Knicks fan, you don't need to defend your team's business decisions on a Rockets message board. You'll see soon enough how much your team really wants to win versus how much off their operation is just to appease Carmelo and Isaiah Thomas. And seriously, why do you keep putting faith in management that since Ewing's retirement has consistently beaten you around like a battered wife? The Knicks have been a joke to the rest of the country for the past fifteen years, and nothing suggests this time will be any different. New Yorkers are complaining about Lin not showing up for ONE game while their team was the 7 seed going up against the NBA champs down 3-1. In those circumstances even a prime Michael Jordan wouldn't have been to lift your sucky squad out of that mess. And Carmelo certainly wouldn't have given him the ball enough to do so. No one here is as blind as a Knicks fan and believes we will be better than the Knicks next year. But unlike y'all our franchise is headed in the right direction with our fate not tied to a rudderless set of non-superstars. Come back in two years and we'll see who won the battle of Jeremy Lin.
Lin was basically a rookie last year in a shortened season thrust into the starting line up & already matched Felton's number who was already in the nba for several years. Only stupid people cant figure this out.
Rockets in past 15 years - 1 playoff series win At least Knicks got their couple of chamionship in tougher era and without Asterisks.
As a competitor, I don't have a problem w/ what he said. In the spur of the moment, on the court, you have to believe your as good as anyone else to play at a high level. But calling Lin out on his contract but not calling him out - idiocy. My problem is Felton is a pro basketball player and he's not in shape. THAT IS THE MOST BASIC PART OF YOUR JOB. The Knicks want to compete w/ the best in the league, and their PG is only now trying to get in shape. He clearly hasn't been playing bball seriously. And his past 2 teams couldn't wait to get rid of him. That is who the Knicks chose to take on the Heat. Brilliant.
Yup^^^.... And I mean there must be a reason why the world is going crazy over Felton going back to New York.... People are soo exited that Raymond is back, its all over espn...... They even let some poor guy leave to the Rockets for him... I think the name was Lin..... Anyways, he dont matter... New York is sooo exited about Felton.... One of the most eixiting pgs in the NBA...
Wh are you on this board. Hating on Lin plus hating on the Rockets two championships??? Why are you here at all?
Like the 30 name list you had to revise? Like finding Mario Chalmers out of the 20-30 list and believing he's better than Lin?
He is here because of Lin.... If Lin would have never left that sorry team we would have never had him come here.... This should tell you alot about the kind of impact Lin had in that city and what he is bringing to Houston....
Your post doesn't make sense, PERIOD. You bringing race into the discussion, when it doesn't belong. People are skeptical because the guy has yet to start a whole season. Some folks thought Dragic got overpaid, just goes with the territory when guys get paydays without performing for at least a full season. AROD is a freakin HALL OF FAME BASEBALL PLAYER to put AROD & Lin in the same sentence as talents in their respective sports is A JOKE. Even at that, there were plenty of naysayers when AROD signed that deal.
that team would get destroyed by any of the showtime magic lakers or larry bird celtics. im not even gonna go into what sort of severe molestation mj's bulls would do to a team led by a overrated white guard & the most overrated center in the history of the nba wilt closet homosexual chamberlain.
