GAME THREAD: The New York Knickerbockers vs The New Orleans Hornets

[portega1968]

Lins 2 points and 3 turnovers away from a double double

triple double in the works?

[Kiyaman]

I been waiting for the Lin-Fields dunk

[Seba]

Lob City?
Lin City.

[Kiyaman]

Damn....I miss mboy Trevor Ariza

[nyk_nyk]

This is when Melo would take over the game and try to get us some much needed points but then you'd hear the dummies screaming for him to pass the ball.

[Seba]

I understand the NOH hacked the roster to try and win the lottery, but what the hell did they do with their jerseys? Are they trying to go last in merchandising aswell?

[JujuXG]

can anyone explain to me, how Jlin got 10 turnover already?

and Breen continuously stating that the fans are asking for him to pass the ball when he has a mis-match

me too, was suppose to be our SF of the future.

Im going to give lin some slack now because of how little time he has gotten in the NBA, he isn't used to certain defensive coverages etc.. But

He HAS to get better at taking care of the ball... I like his confidence and his guts but 8 turn overs in 1 half has to be some sort of record... That is insane..

If we were playing the heat right now, it would be 65 to 39 based on that alone.

Lin needs to work on his ball handling...

His ball handling is fine. He justt needs to realize what NO is doing on defense. They are basically surrounding him when he drives and cut off all passing lanes. They want someone else to beat them besides linsanity.

neither. Just has the worst ball security in the NBA. Anyone sticks a hand out Lin flitches and loses ball control. Its a major glaring weakness. Lin would get abused in the Euroleague where defense is tighter.

[portega1968]

we can live without Bill Walker.

We look like a college team right now

Looking forward to a strong second half. Need to respect Kaman's shot, shadow Benilenni, and put Jeffries on Ariza. But, above all, need some pop in those moves, so please give the boys a red bull.

Breen's part of the reason why the media turned against Melo...its funny how they pay so much attention to Carmelo but ignore how Atari's game has receded farther back then Lebrons hairline
