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 %


So you're just going to ignore that Lin went from playing 40+ mins under D'Antoni to 29 mins under Woodson. Why? Because we were beating teams so bad that he wasn't playing the 4th qtr.


and sign me up for 15 and 6 btw.. I'd take that.

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.


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).


same here lol. i wanna play with them but im just so mad at them.

Quite the opposite. I said Lin was a scrub but he should get minutes over TD and Bibby because he was still better then them. And that was before anyone though he was good sooooo STFU


Nope, you didn't even want to give Lin a chance. You were sure he was a scrub. So you STFU.

Why would you bring up such lies. Kobe has 5 chips, he's a great teammate, not a cancer & isn't anything close to a douchebag.

Melo is & he sucks....he sucks bad.


irrational Melo hater, nothing to see here folks.

Kobe had Shaq for most of them....just saying

But Lin did it last year. And he's 23. And Felton in the best month of his career was nowhere near as good as Lin was last year.

NEW YORK—Following the Knicks' decision Tuesday not to match the Houston Rockets' three-year, $25-million offer for point guard Jeremy Lin, depressed New York fans learned a valuable lesson about ever feeling even the slightest bit of excitement for their team. "Goddammit," longtime fan Erik Reid, 52, said upon hearing the Knicks had opted to acquire Raymond Felton from Portland in lieu of re-signing Lin, the team's sole bright spot in an otherwise forgettable 2011-2012 season. "I guess it makes sense when you think about the Ewing-Riley team of the '90s, the entire Isiah Thomas era, spending $100 million on Amar'e Stoudemire, LeBron James choosing Miami over New York, and basically every single management decision under James Dolan. Christ, I really should know better by now." As of press time, Reid had spent several minutes staring wistfully at his Knicks season ticket-renewal form before begrudgingly filling it out and putting it in the mail.

Hey, I want my PG to be a workhorse, not eat the horse.

Yet people take this 1/2 season sample of Felton and somehow think he's good. They probably tie it in with his draft position.

He's fat. He disappointed. He's body of work for all other teams besides the Knicks = not good. Every other team replaced him at PG with someone else. See any trends here?


It wasn't even a 1/2 season sample. It was one MONTH in December where Felton was playing like an all-star. After that, he regressed back to the mean, started shooting at a 35-38% clip, and started to develop an ego where he would take shots himself over passing to an open shooter. Felton was not a good point guard. I liked his heart and warrior mentality when he was a Knick, but Lin is flat out better.

You can say the same about Lin.

People on this board were livid when Felton got traded in that package. They were mad about losing him too. That's how good he was during his run with us.


In return for losing Felton, we got Melo. In return for losing Lin we get... NOTHING!!! That's the first difference. The second is Felton has had a lot of time to show us what he is without D'Antoi and it didn't look good.
