Dolan/MSG losing corporate sponsors to Rox over Linsanity

[StyLeD]

Wow someone who actually laps up the urine SAS spews on his radio show!

[noto12ious]

of course it's about your credibility. i just gave you proof that lin was never medically cleared, directly contradicting the lies spewed forth by stephen a smith, whose entire credibility has already been tarnished from being a proven racist. unless you are able to provide a single shred of evidence or source contradicting such basic medical facts, bow down and enjoy your crow.

I think not. Players have performed on the court, though not 'officially cleared' before. All a player has to do is make it plain that no matter what, he wants to play. If he isn't in danger of re-injuring himself, the team and coach may say ok. Its happened before, and I'm sure it will again.

I listened to a show where SAS addressed this matter. Unless I'm mistaken, he didn't use the terms 'medically cleared to play', but intimated that it was common locker room knowledge that he could have produced something on the court.

The words that SAS quoted from team members was, "Can you give us 15 minutes"? Words so that effect.

So, its my belief that if Lin really wanted to get out on the floor even for a few minutes during the playoffs, just to provide a spark for the team, he probably would have been allowed to. That's what SAS was addressing.

As already noted, the 'official medical clearance' issue can be thorny, because naturally teams will opt to protect a player, rather than announcing that he was ok to play and chose not to.

LoL at the bolded. credibility not found. it seems you and the proven liar/racist have the same issue. Lin stated numerous times was never close to coming back, even clarifying his percentage comment. Even his own teammates knew and told him to sit out. Nobody has ever contradicted his quotes except for, once again, your phantom sources.

choosing phantom sources/proven racists over medical facts and quoted interviews.

it's the mental midget way!

edit: in addition to stephen a lying about the medical clearance, he lied about the RFA contract negotiations as well. It was GM morey, in his own words, who wanted to increase the offer to Lin. directly contradicts stephen's lies yet again.

[Mamba Venom]

I think they lost their biggest sponsor (American Express) to the Nets too.

You knew that was going to happen with Lin though. He's like the Tebow of basketball right now.

But the other NY teams Jets were smart to trade for TeBow.

LMAO..... Personally, I don't really care what you find credible.

I think what SAS was saying is that if Lin really wanted to play, it would have happened -- which I believe.

This matter is not as 'cut and dried' as you're trying to make it seem. There were a number of articles postulating that Lin could return last season after the injury -- at least for some spot duty during the playoffs.

One day after cutting and moving laterally on his surgically repaired left knee, New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin says he hopes to return to the court during New York's first-round series with the Miami Heat, possibly as soon as Game 4 on May 6.

Ultimately, we know that Lin ended up opting not to play. If you read between the lines, it is clear that there was at least some expectation that he was well enough to give it a go.

this is fun. every time a factual link is posted debunking your erroneous claims, you've ducked. multiple facts were cited proving stephen a lied, yet you continue to cite him as your only source.

lin stated multiple times he wanted to play, but his recovery did not go as planned. even from the same article, it was stated:

On Sunday, Lin noted that he felt "soreness" in his knee. He planned to stay off of it for the rest of the day and re-evaluate the knee on Monday. Lin seemed discouraged about the discomfort on Sunday, calling it a "setback."

of course, you left this "setback" part out to make it seem all was well and that he going to return the next day. disingenuous liar to say the least, but what else would you expect from someone who still believes stephen's proven lies?

At this point, the only proven liar is you. Despite your desperate efforts to make it seem like it was never stated by anyone that Lin might come back last season, your words were directly contradicted by Lin himself.

How does that crow taste?

that made no sense. it was your claim Lin was ready to go. all medical reports stated otherwise. even Lin admitted he suffered a setback, and was clearly not ready to go.

try again, kid.

edit: and i never made the claim that "nobody thought Lin would return." in fact, multiple sources believed he would be back in time for the playoffs, but unfortunately, his recovery took longer. another blatant lie from "east coast" get owned harder, proven liar.

LMFAO..... FAIL The only one with zero credibility is you. "Kid"

Just give it up and admit defeat. Only someone with no self-awareness or intelligence would keep this “debate" going when you’re clearly and definitively wrong.

You said:

Lin stated numerous times was never close to coming back, even clarifying his percentage comment.

Lin said:

"I think I'm gonna evaluate it at the end of the week and see," Lin said after the Knicks' practice on Sunday. "Hopefully I'll feel good by then ... the main thing is to be able to play without thinking about (the injury)."

He also said:

"Hopefully I’ll feel good. Every time I come into the gym, the playoff atmosphere is unbelievable. It’s something I want to feel, and help my teammates.’’

You claimed:

Even his own teammates knew and told him to sit out. Nobody has ever contradicted his quotes except for, once again, your phantom sources.

Another lie from you. According to some teammates:

"I hope so," Landry Fields said when asked if Lin could play in Game 5. "He seems to be moving really well. I haven't seen him go through full physical workouts yet, but he looks all right."

"I think he can come back, he's looked good. It just depends on how confident he is (with the injury)," Steve Novak said.

Even you can obviously see that despite your inaccurate claims, Lin was clearly contemplating a return to the floor after the injury, and his teammates were encouraging him to do so. This is what SAS was referring to.

I’m done with this topic. Its no fun beating up on the mentally challenged.

[StyLeD]

You mean yourself, I see.

what I stated is true. he was never close. being "hopeful" for a future return date and being ready to go are completely different. once again, it's great how you completely ducked the "setback" mentioned just a few posts ago, from your own link no less. why are you ducking, kid? Feel free to acknowledge such a basic medical fact. :

On Sunday, Lin noted that he felt "soreness" in his knee. He planned to stay off of it for the rest of the day and re-evaluate the knee on Monday. Lin seemed discouraged about the discomfort on Sunday, calling it a "setback."

Lin was clearly not ready to go. 5 days later:

"I haven't been able to load it or jump or explode or drive by somebody the way I want to, so it's going to be longer than that," the second-year guard said.

again, what i stated is true. A few teammates being "hopeful" doesn't translate to the reality of the situation:

The stage would seem set for a storybook return, but the reality is more complicated. Lin is not in game shape, has yet to play five-on-five and has not received medical clearance.

“I’m not counting on Jeremy Lin to play,” Coach Mike Woodson said in a conference call with reporters Monday.

“I’ve watched him shoot and run up and down – he’s not in great shape,” Woodson said.

your lying claim of teammates "encouraging him" not found. most reports had lin slated to return at the 2nd round at earliest, but we won't hear a peep out of you about that, eh?

more pesky medical facts that destroy your lies:

At the time, Lin says, he had been sleeping with an ice machine on every night and waking up early to restart it. He couldn't even touch the rim, much less defend. But the morning of Game 5, when asked about his status, he had publicly diagnosed himself at "85 percent" -- a comment he says has since been misunderstood. Lin was not 85 percent healthy, he says, but rather 15 percent away from the absolute minimum threshold to play.

Couldn't even touch the rim? That's at least a foot or two below his normal jumping lift. I suppose we're supposed to believe stephen a's phantom sources over such medical facts.

Speaking of more facts before game 5:

"Every single vet on our team that has been in the league longer than five years pulled me aside and told me that I shouldn't play," Lin said.

Not a single knicks source has ever contradicted this quote. Clearly the vets knew something the liar stephen a didn't, eh? again, your lying claim of any teammates "Encouraging him" are bogus. Try harder next time.

It's been an pleasure running you into the ground while watching you repeatedly duck factual links. savor the moment.
