this is the best chance we had in the last 12 years to win a championship and we didn't put together the best team we could possibly have. If Lin goes on to become a 20/8 point guard and we lose to Miami year after year it's going to be so hard to deal with.


What makes you think this team is ever going to see Miami in the playoffs again? This isn't a contender, or rival, to the Heat. It's a laughing stock. An inside joke. A non-entity.

Do you honestly think this is going to happen?

Amare never rebounds. Never passes, never plays defense

Melo is all about getting his 30 shots a hight

Felton is too busy coming into camp heavy

Chandler is one dimensional

i mean, need i go on?

Lin was the only thing the last 2 years that inspired this team to play well. Now I'm supposed to believe that since we're back to melo/amare that we're a 60 win team?

Not buying it. People need to look at our record with Melo/Amare starting. It isnt good.

When are Walt and Breen going to admit that HOU matched? Beating around the bush when the wire tap at the bottom says they did.

Curry, nash, westbrook, paul, and parker


Yeah just like in February when he had Jeffries,Chandler,Fields and Shumpert to pass to.


Touché: that is true.

Jose7© wrote:lol at people thinking Lin is the difference between us contending or not. Love lin and his game..like him in the long run but when did he become point god? He was GREAT and should only get better but he still has a ways to go in terms of developing his point guard skills.

we're gonna have a big season with or without him.

True or false: He has better PG skills than Raymond Felton

I'm talking about distribution, PnR, finding open shooters and cutters etc...


even when lin was on he wasn't really getting the ball to Melo or STAT....he was good at finding players on the wing and lobbing it to chandler and that was about it....honestly I think his "court vision" is a little overrated. I'm not a Raymond Felton fan but I don't think it's outlandish to think that he'll suffice until we try and trade him for someone else.

With Lin being the only one on that team of worth, opponents will be focusing primary on him. Teams this season will have time to practice and prepare for games and set strategy to stop him. Lin will either become a true superstar or a bust.

Some of us have seen Lin in the West before. He'll be fine if he can keep his shooting stroke. That was the only thing limiting him with the Warriors. Once he got some confidence in his jumper, it opened up is entire game.

No choice other than to go root for another team. Is what it is.

You really think you'll get the real story? Dolan controls most of the media.

1. Killing Dolan is ilegal
2. Killing self is against god
3. Becoming a Net fan? You better off with 1 or 2.
