I found dantonis comments after the game comical. He was worried about putting him in there because of his defense. Did the guy just learn how to play a decent d versus one of the top point guards in the world overnight? He is one thick headed sob.
Let him walk
Resign him and keep him long term
Resign him and trade him January 2013 with Amare

With STAT & Melo on the court with him at the same time there really isnt much you're going to be able to do to adjust. They focus on Lin he's smart enough to hit the open man.
It's what good point guards do.
I'm not saying he's the next Nash, but I never thought he was a bum like some folks were saying.
Steven A Smith for one...
Breaking News: Jeremy Lin slept on Landry Fields couch last night.
Must be in the doghouse
lol Asian Starbury, if he plays like this the rest of the way the Knicks may have to give him a 5 year 100M deal.
I'm not going to hype Lin, but .....That is my dude until further notice.
dammit I just realized he saved D'antoni's job.... for now. either way good to see Jeremy Lin get the win.
Hell yes.
I like Lin. Still don't think he's THE answer at PG, but for the Knicks, ANY answer is good enough.
Folks, don't expect 20+ points or 6+ assists from Lin if he gets to start. First, the Nets weren't 100% (they were also the Nets) and the more time Lin gets means the more opponents can scout his abilities. (Of course just the presence of a PG means less pressure on 'Melo.)
Since he's still in China, wouldn't Starbury be the Asian Starbury right now?
This should get D'Antoni fired even faster in my opinion. Us fans have been calling for Lin to get playing time since the beginning of the season and all Dumbtoni has done for him (before tonight) was send him down to the D-league like some scrub. ALSO, don't be surprised to see Jordan have a standout game IF he ever gets to play. Jordan is 10X better than Jeffries on both sides of the court as well.
Fire D'Antoni TODAY please Dolan!
I've been saying that he deserves a shot since his first court appearance for the Knicks. He isn't our savior or any close to top players on his position in the league. But he is a real point guard, he's what we need. D'Antoni has no choice but to play him and if he averages 10 points, 5 assists and a couple of boards he will be still our best option at #1.
The most important thing Linn did tonight? 1 turnover only!!!!! In 36 mins... If douglas or shump played for 36 mins they would of had 7 turnovers more.... D wills had 5 TO's.. Linn isnt the holy grail for the team, but he is a real PG and never shoots unless he is wide open and he is penetrating and can finish good at the rim... His assists last night looked like he has been playing with Chandler for years and Linn said he never even practiced with STAT or Chandler
