Get well soon Jeremy Lin. We'll need you in order for us to make a deep championship run.

Jeremy Lin volume 3 is already at 99 pages and pushing 100. Time to lock it up and sticky Jeremy Lin's volume 4 ala heading into the playoffs.

Well, with a win against Charlotte tomorrow night, we'll have the Heat come the first round. Jeremy Lin only started to run and jog roughly around when, 3 days ago? Pretty sure we won't feature Jeremy Lin during the first round. Not trying to get ahead of myself here, because all of this is a moot-point unless we're able to eliminate Miami, but it'll be nice to have Jeremy Lin @ point during a (potential) 2nd round matchup against Derrick Rose and the Bulls.

Oh how nostalgic. To be honest the Heat are probably the team that gives Lin the most problems and if he is rusty he would have an even harder time. He will be very useful though if we can beat the Heat and go to the 2nd round.

Man I'll be sad if we never get to see Lin play again by end of this season. It's like an incomplete story.

Speaking of stories:

Blogtable: Favorite Story Of 2011-12

Each week, we’ll ask our stable of scribes to weigh in on the three most important NBA topics of the day — and then give you a chance to step on the scale, too, in the comments below.
The regular season is just about done. What’s your favorite story – whether it had a big headline or not – of 2011-12?

Steve Aschburner: For feel-good moments, it was hard to top the night Kaleb Canales took over as interim coach of the Portland Trail Blazers. Plopped into the job unexpectedly to replace fired Nate McMillan, about 24 hours before a road game against the mighty Chicago Bulls, Canales on the sideline looked like a young fan who’d won a “Coach-for-a-Day” contest. But he helped Portland to an improbable 100-89 upset. His players – most of whom had “come up” with the newly promoted video coordinator – demonstrated their affection for him (and vice versa) with their performances and their embraces afterward. It was a happy highlight in a very down year for the Blazers.

Fran Blinebury: Zombies. The Walking Dead. The San Antonio Spurs. Every time we bury them, they come back to bite us and now they’re growling and hungry going into the playoffs.

Scott Howard-Cooper: Jeremy Lin is a good one. But there is something about the Spurs of 2011-12 that hooks me. The way Popovich has merged youth with the big-name veterans, the way Tony Parker has advanced his game, the way management made a series of in-season moves, the way the roster overcame the lengthy absence of Manu Ginobili and still finished with the best record in the West. Never saw this coming.

Shaun Powell: I’m not sure how anyone who loves fairy tales could not be captivated by Linsanity. I mean, it had it all: underdog does good, ethnicity, fish out of water, saving a desperate franchise, doing it in the Big City. Sure, in some ways, it was over the top, but only because of the media age in which we live. Taken at its core, the tale of Jeremy Lin going from the sofa to the penthouse was refreshing in spite of the hype.

John Schuhmann: The Linsanity eventually got out of control, the Knicks have been overhyped all year, and I’m one who likes to focus on what goes on the floor, but it’s impossible not to appreciate the story of Jeremy Lin. He came out of the Ivy League, went undrafted, was waived by two teams, and then sparked a run on the league’s biggest stage. The Knicks were in a bad spot and this guy, a few days from being waived once again, gave them exactly what they needed. Oh yeah, there was the whole international sensation aspect of it too.

Sekou Smith: Even without any ties whatsoever to New York, the Knicks or Jeremy Lin, it’s hard to ignore Linsanity. Anytime people you know have absolutely no interest in the NBA or basketball coming up to you at church and in the grocery store asking about Linsanity and wondering if this “thing is for real,” it’s hard not to get wrapped up in the story. The only thing that bothers me is we never got the chance to see how the story would end. Lin handled the pressure better than anyone could have imagined, but he his body couldn’t stand up to the stress. But when you look back at the highlight reel from this season, Linsantiy has to be prominently displayed.

Yeah, while the overhype made Linsanity into an overkill, all those who didn't enjoy the fun during Linsanity...missed out big time man. Fun times. It's like watching a movie unfold in real life.

"Jeremy Lin shot and worked on conditioning drills during Wednesday's practice.

This marked the first time Lin has been a participant at a Knicks' practice since undergoing surgery on April 2nd.

"He's starting to smell the gym a little more, which is great," Woodson said. "I asked him yesterday how he felt after getting out running a little bit, he said he felt pretty good. But we got to put him through drills where he's cutting and things of that nature to make sure the knee doesn't swell up and he's not physically sore. There is going to be some soreness. We just have to make sure when he steps out on the floor he's able to do basketball things."

Mike Woodson thinks Lin could be ready for the second round if the Knicks advance.

Great news. Lin has returned to practice. Should be all up-hill from here.

thanks for the info Holly1985. I wonder if the analysts chuckle at the knicks for saying that lin will be back round 2?!...they're probably like, uhhhh, you're not gonna make it to round 2. whatever.

In the Bay Area, the San Francisco Giants are hosting the Florida Marlins on Tuesday and it is Chinese Heritage Night. Their radio promo? "Come join us at the park for some Florida Marlin-sanity!"

Ha ha.

Not sure why the MODS have refused to sticky this thread at the top? We love Jeremy Lin talk. Isn't 3 previous threads of 100+ pages enough proof? Lets get this thread locked up into sticky mode.

Thanks in advance.

I miss Lin, I hope we make it out of the first round.

Amare looked vicious tonight against the Bobcats, though I only got to see the highlights.

Hopefully our front-court gets it together or Woody can make the right adjustments, we've got a healthy squad, a good coach and quality additions in Shump, JR & Novak that were never factored in. No excuses, even if we face the Heat, arguably one of the best play-off teams in recent memory we should make it out of the first-round.

Then the dragon comes back in the 2nd round, we pick up where we left off when Woodson arrived and we had all our guys together and we start the beginning of a dynasty.

It seems like forever since Jeremy played his last game, but it's been just over a month. Really looking forward to watching him play the pacers in round 2.

I think it may be quite difficult to expect Lin to perform at the level prior to his injury when he returns. Thus, if he felt that he isn't ready to take on the Heat, it may just be a right decision to have some more rest, while trusting his teammates to survive through the first round.

Nevertheless, still gotta hope for the best. Please get well ASAP Lin! #linsanity
