Jeremy Lin's Contract Saga: Part VII

[Kooz]

Knicks are probably using the media to F with the Rockets. In the process they are F’ing with the fans but Dolan doesn’t give a **** about us.

This was predicted in another thread last week and everyone is still falling for it. Why not just wait for the Knicks to put out the final decision? So far everything has been speculation.

Well it is, but you came off as if it was actual truth when it was your opinion. Thats why I said what I said.

The way an opinion works is, someone believes something is the actual truth. And I do. Strongly.

Again, Thats why i said its a opinion and show me actual facts or evidence to support your opinion, especially if you're making it seem as if its actual truth. That simple my friend.

It's not a tactic. You are very rancorous and disrespectful in your tone.

You clearly advocated that Carmelo Anthony's use of a word, a phrase, rose to the level of forever changing how Knicks fans regarded him. You advocated and predicted that Knicks fans will and should vocally treat him rancorously and disrespectfully over this.

You, a standard bearer on this forum, also chose a position and have posted far more thousand words on Knicks matters than Melo has since Sunday.

Again, why the double standard? Why is Melo subject to the scrutiny and publish backlash you advocate over something you think he said, but you, me, TkF, or anyone else for that matter is above such repurcussions for our words and actions?

I don't understand.

Fact is Woodson can care less about Lin's game.

I wonder how Woodson supporters will feel about the extension if it costs us Lin.

And if it's Woodson's call, how does that reflect on Melo? Wasn't Melo's approval the reason we brought Woodson back?

Yes, Melo decides who the coach is, that's why D'Antoni came back to start last season.

Maybe he could: I dunno. However, I do agree that they share a close bond.

Good post.

Maybe you're being sarcastic, but I do think there's a weird dynamic going on there. We bring back a coach who has not has significant success in the league and who is known to lack creativity, and we contemplate jettisoning the player who saved the season...idk, it stinks.

I strongly believe that you photoshopped a wig on Jeremy Lin and made it into your avatar. Disturbing.

For those concerned with marketability, here's what MSG President Scott O'Neill said last season:

“When Linsanity hit, it was like nothing I have ever experienced this or any other business. There has never been anything like it. At one point, 45% of all Knicks merchandise sold in The Garden was connected to Jeremy. And that was after just two weeks. We saw a 2000% increase in our online video views. Our television ratings doubled. When compared against any other league-wide measurable, be it sales, page views, you name it, the gap between us and anyone else was unprecedented.”

I don't think Knicks brass are doubting Lin's off the court value that much.

it depends. did that last ? what were the ratings like after the initial excitement wore off ?

That's pretty offensive.

Alan Hahn: I know everyone is fired up, but decision on Lin isn’t expected until tonight (deadline is 9 p.m. PT) after Knicks hierarchy meets in Vegas. 1 minute ago

It ALWAYS comes back to Melo.

how annoying

[Bill Bradley]

You should channel your energies into polishing your logic and powers of perception and less into worrying about me.

Good advice. Maybe then I'll have better luck knowing exactly what you'd be posting today two days before you did.

Oh, wait...

You're actually a great poster when you talk about the Knicks. I wish you would do that.

Disagree.

Cause we are a self hating miserable sadistic bunch with nothing better to do

Well, they're singing a totally different tune now:

That would indicate that it's not in Dolan's hands?

Oh who knows.

The announcement might be at midnight, but the decision, one way or another, has been made. They aren't sitting they going "hmm, should we do this?" They know what their move is.

Tina Cervasio: RedBulls practice: no Rafa,Meara,Pearce,Solli v CHI tomorrow. Henry will play. Several players asked me about Lin. Thought I asked ques? LoL 1 minute ago

You're toeing the line of a racist joke. I see the attempt at humor but that really can be offensive to people, so let's cut it out.
