I think some people either forget or blindly over look the simple fact of the Knicks having other great players on this team that is helping JLin look better than he actually is..
Do you remember last season at all?
We were DONE. After coming into the season with all the hype, we were so bad. Loosing, and loosing and loosing... And its not just that we were loosing it was how we were loosing and who we were loosing to. We got blown out by the Bobcats at HOME. The worst team in NBA history and we made them look like allstars...
Our offense was stagnant and DEAD. Amar'e got injured, Carmelo got injured. And there was really no hope for doing anything...
And then Lin came in. We stopping loosing games we should win. In the big picture that means a lot. Thats what teams who can be better than .500 8th seed teams do.
We were winning and it was most importantly exciting. Lin was playing with Chandler, Jefferies, Novak and Fields... Other than Chandler, our line up was piss poor. Novak can stroke the three but was useless without lins playmaking skills to get him open.
He has been the best thing to happen to this team in a long time. He makes this team fun and exciting. He can play if he stays healthy.
