    I posted an article on my old digs, the Knicks Online board........

    Based on how he dunked the ball, prior to the Knicks, with the Knicks, and now recently as a Rocket, he might NOT have been 100 percent with the Knicks..........

    This is not unequivocal evidence, but if Lin was in fact not 100 percent with the Knicks, how would that suggest how he'd play at 100 percent?

    That's a dieheard Knicks forum. They dont welcome voices that are:
    1 anti-melo
    2 anti-Knicks
    3 pro-Lin

    Your thread will not end well....

    In his Minnesota's postgame interview, he said he can't feel his leg.

    Under MDA, he played 35+ minutes.
    His body was not ready last season.

    Lin had patellar ligament injury to his knee when he was in GSW and small meniscus tear in the left knee last season.

    His skills is too aggressive.
    Other PGs(Rose, Wall, Rubio,etc) have the same problem.
    He must adjust and improve catch&shoot, if he wants to keep healthy.

    I'm not going to read that board, but I'll just say that except for the dunk in the Wizards game, the few dunks he did afterward (I think there were two others) barely cleared the rim. They certainly lacked the elevation of his college dunks.

    I don't think it's due to the knee injury for most of it; he just didn't have legs. He was huffing and puffing through the games in which he played long minutes; he just looked fatigued. That's no surprise given that he was not conditioned for playing starter minutes, and last year's compressed schedule was insane with back-to-back games, and sometimes back-to-back-to-back. I think that the fatigue was partly responsible for his mistakes like turnovers. Even if Lin made no skill improvements in the offseason and only improved his conditioning, that by itself will make a big difference.

    But whatever, this is just blowing air before the season starts.

    Amen to this. Just a few more weeks guys! Let's see 10lbs lighter translates to better elevation,

    Have you been documented on what your expectations are? It would be fun to get it on record so we can see how accurate your realistic expectations turn out to be. If you won't make a prediction, don't make snide comments about others'.

    There's one that like his thread tho...still got many Lin fans among Knix fans.

    Anyway, I think it's kind of stupid to post this here. That's none of the Rockets' business. That's over. That's history. Maybe even Lin didn't remember wheather he was ready to play 36 mpg. Let's stick to reality.

    I don't think Lin was at 100% given the fact that he came off of rehabbing his knee and was wearing those knee supports. I think Lin may have had jumper's knee since high school and on through college since he usually wore those knee straps probably from trying to drive and score in the paint all the time.
