It seems that some are getting totally unraveled if Lin isn't praised as a great player already.

Well here's how I see it, put in the work....over the course of a full season, and let that work translate into wins for your team.

If Lin does that...great for him.

If Felton does that for us.....great for the New York Knicks.


I am not getting unravelled. in fact i find this all to be very hillarious. did anybody notice that the NY daily news and nY post is still righting about lin and they are now writing about the rockets as well. lets face it as far as the NY media is concerned they will continue to try and drum up interest about houston and lin for the forseeable future. just wait and see.

Sound like the NY news has accomplished it's work by the sound of your post.

We just had folks get in a bunch because Pablo acknowledged Lin being a score first pg, when that's what he is, but in the same breathe said Felton is as well.

The point is, everyone is gonna just proclaim Lin the second coming of Stockton just yet.

But I don't think anyone seriously believe he will flop either.

It seems it's not good enough to acknowledge on any front that Lin will be a good pg.

I think you are misunderstanding the sound of my post.

Anyway, I wasn't getting in a bunch over what pablo said nor did I proclaim Lin the second coming of stockton nor do I think he will flop. I think me and you see relatively eye to eye on this. He is a good but inexperienced guard with tremendous upside. That was my take on the entire situation. And I think it was necesary for the team to let him go. the hype was clearly getting to players and fans.

I think Lin has good upside and he will do fine in Houston, but I do not think it was the best move to let him go.

I'm matching and trading when I can if it was my call.

let's write questions for your son

1. hey jeremy, how excited are you to play with kevin martin and absolutely no one else of interest ?

2. if jesus loves you, why'd he let you commit all those turnovers ?

Its a chat, but if my son asks him something I'm sure Jeremy would answer, I will be sitting in on it, I'm sure I'll say one or two things to him as well I.e. thanks, wish you best of luck, etc.

Oh I see. Makes sense. Ask him if he thinks douglas hates him because Lin has once again stolen his starting spot??
