BREAKING: Report - Knicks Won't Match, Lin to Rockets

[sinjz]

Dude you cant like Lin unless you're going to slobber all over his nuts, you should know that.

Paco liked Lin like CoolKids liked Lin. You guys tolerated him but saw more hole than others. CoolKids preferred TD, so we know how those opinion go. I'm not calling Paco a Lin hater, but you did not like Lin as much as Dr.Z and that is why you think his pro Lin post were trolling, while other who post anti-Lin stuff was not always as offensive to you as those who like Lin more. Simple as that.

BTW, see how these people who 'like Lin' always go back to these stupid 'Lin fanboy' type comment. It seems if you appreciate Lin and his game at all, it means you wanna slobber his knob, think he's gonna be better than CP3 and can beat Melo with one leg tied to Lala's tits.

I just was not obsessed -- I didn't think he was a superstar (or someone we could rebuild a team around). The entire time, I have maintained him being a Mike Conley/Kyle Lowry type player. I wrote a huge blog post on him and gave him the highest grade on the team (tied with Melo and Tyson).

3 year $25 mill contract does not equal a player who has to be a superstar. He's a good piece that we should utilize and not throw away.

Honestly I think most of the tension on these boards are started by troll pretending to be Lin fans and dumb asses jumping all over that crap and claiming anybody who likes Lin thinks he God or something. Then a dumb anti-Lin fan says stuff like how Melo hates Lin and now Pro-Lin and Pro-Melo are at war....

[blumatic]

One thing Im really mad about. I like watch Knick vids over the summer. Most of the good games involved Lin. Ugh.

Oh well. Felton vids up.

Carmelo Anthony is a top10 player in Basketball

He's a top 10 TALENT. He's a top 20 player.

so was Marbury....

Not even close.

He's a top10 player and a probably a top5 talent.

[Stannis]

He does nothing but speaks his truth. Lot of people just do not share his opinions.

And I have never seen a "suspended" near Doc's name tbh.

When your "truths" are about Melo it absolutely warrants a suspension.

Fixed.

[CoolKids]

Maybe he mistook you for MPHarris?

I think so.

[Stannis]

Knicks franchise = man falling out of a plane thinking you have a back pack with a parachute but it is actually filled with garbage

lol

Your posts are keeping me sane.

lol

I know. I WANTED us to match Lin. I have said match at all costs from the beginning...where is this coming from?

[FKF]

Guys, guys! At least we will have NBA 2K12. We can relive Linsanity all we want, lol.

At this point, I can't even use the Knicks any more even on 2k12. I'm so pissed at them, I just don't want to hear anything about these idiots and pathetic franchise. I'll just laugh hard when they finish the season 32-50.

Wow the blatant negativity on this board and the vitriol against our own players is exasberating and depressing. Our FO may be horrid, but we as fans dont deserve anything better. We are, without a doubt, the worst fans in the league.

The Lin story is tragic, but the real takeaway from the last few days is how awful this board is.

[K_ick_God]

So any sole warrior still giving us any hope or everybody gone?

Any new reports on Twitter?

[Knicksrule2k4]

Looks like the Knicks are going to keep the Rockets and their fanbase waiting until the last few minutes.

Novak was just as important as lin shooting 47% from 3 and he still sux cause he signed for 4 mil a year

Novak was great...and it's still a damn shame that we're shelling out big $ for him and letting Lin walk. It doesn't have to be a choice between them though...we should have both.

Shump was just as important cause Lin couldnt guard a cold. Calderon and other PGs went right back at him, if it wasnt for shump guarding the best opposing guard, there would be no linsanity but he sux.

Shumpert was good, but please...don't tell me he was "just as important as Lin." That's ridiculous.

We upgrade from davis/bibby to felton/kidd and we still suck

Uh no...we downgraded from Lin/whoever to Felton/Kidd.

pablo priogioni is supposedly one of the best in europe and after watching that huertas dude eat the USA team alive, if pablo is even half as good as he was, i would be happy.

Pablo Priogioni, a 35-year-old rookie...great point there.

camby averages a ton of rebounds per minute and still can control the paint but hey without lin he sux.

Getting a good backup center doesn't mitigate the loss of your starting point guard.

I just do not understand.


Was lin really that amazing in people's minds?

Lin was amazing. Not in "people's minds." On the basketball court.


There is not a shred of an argument to be made that this is an improved roster. We added some severely aging backups. We lost a 23-year-old point guard who was...yes, amazing, last year.

Jeez. take off the myopic glasses. Here are some numbers, ya know facts for your delusions:

1) Feb: Lin 21ppg, 4 reb, 8.4 assists on 47% shooting and 33% 3 pt fg

2) mar: Lin 15ppg, 3 rebs, 6.3 assists on 41% shooting and 33 3pt %

he could not maintain his run. His numbers didnt hold up. nevermind the fact he was averaging 4.4 TOs a game

he was good for a stretch then came back to earth.

you crap on felton and kidd but hey kidd lead a team to the finals 2010-2011.

felton under dantoni was doing rather decently (ya know the same system that lin did well in) averaging 17 and 9.

But whatever your lin colored glasses can only see his rosy greatness.

amare did start out the year badly, but he picked it up later in the year, NUMBERS do not lie. 18, 8 on 56% shooting and taking less shots.

novak is overpaid at 4 mil a year BUT it is OK to give LIN 15 mil a year plus another 30 mil in penalties.

shump was as important. shump and tyson ANCHORED our defense. Shump prevent guards from getting into the lane so teams were forced into 1 on 1s and jumpshots. YOU SIR DO NOT RESPECT DEFENSE.

yeah pablo is 35 but watching the olympics should give you some respect for european players.

getting camby means when tyson comes out our interior defense doesnt suffer. SEE THAT WORD AGAIN DEFENSE.

"offense wins games, DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS"

Lin played no D. Steals are not an indicator of D. watch some games and not highlights

I like this post

[CoolKids]

Some of you guys are so damn stupid. No Lin by himself is not going to lead us to a championship. BUT SINCE CARMELO ANTHONY IS NOT A SUPERSTAR! WE NEED TO SURROUND HIM WITH ENOUGH NBA CALIBER PLAYERS!!!

He's not lebron and he's not Kobe, the more good players you surround him with the better chance we have in competing ...

I don't understand why people can't understand that?

Agree with the general sentiment but...kobe and lebron only won with stacked teams too.

[Mr_Perfect]

He's a top10 player and a probably a top5 talent.

Real talk. Same sh*t just happened to me. Only issue is -- my other franchise is the Rockets (with Wall, Lamb, Ross, White, Motie, and Drummond).

Even with Felton replacing Lin, that isn't happening

HAHAAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Oh man I am the biggest TD hater on this entire board. Thanks for the laugh though

Before 'Linsanity', you went on a rant onhow Lin sucked and should be cut etc.... You preferred TD over Lin at that point. TRUTH!

I will give you a million dollars if the Knicks finish 32-50.
