GT: New York Knicks vs Portland Trail Blazers

[wian]

we have scored 37 points in 14 & 1/2 minutes of basketball, and held the opposition to 16 points

this is the sort of **** we should be doing most games -

i have to commend them on the turnaround tonight

Is anybody worried that Lin will leave if they continue to start a 34 year old broken baron davis in front of him?

I mean Lin is the future. Lets not forget that. I don't care how well baron plays this year, he is on his last legs. We need to develop Lin.

Yeah but a real coach won't force feed a young player that is on a championship team and risk him making big mistakes at key points of the game. This summer Lin can come back a new player and him coming off the bench right away will allow him to learn, im not worried long term about Lin at all.

Looks like the Knicks can finally win a game without the need for "Linsanity"........

Milk the bench. I'm here to watch Lin play, but if the team plays well without him, give him some badly needed rest.

Whens the last time you've seen a player without the ball setting a screen for another player. NEVER! Its always Lin or Davis to the rack or 1 v 1 somewhere else.

Up by 21? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Why are people freaking about BD, look Lins back in. New coach just trying his own thing, never fear Lin is here, lol.

Oh, how much it helps to play a terrible, terrible team at home

I guess you haven't been following the Knicks.

Fair weather fan sighting?

Wow Woodson is showing balls!

No Melo for a long time now.

I would kill to have LA as our Big man along with Chandler.

No. He's right. I was about to post the same thing. The Blazers are 3-7 in their last 10. It isn't like we are doing this vs. elite competition, but I will end it there. We are up by 21.. Normally I'm used to the double-digit deficits.

[smokes]

He can be developed as a role player just like all the other rookies/2nd yr players in the league.

QFT. The Linsanity was fun and all but all great PGs start somewhere (and it's usually not starting). Don't forget Steve Nash paid his dues on the bench for 2-3 years before he was handed the keys.

Ditto. But we're stuck with Stat for better or worse.

Just like to see Stat try and jump for blocks/rebounds like he does for his points.

Yeah right now this game should be about our players winning certain match up's to see if they can get back on track. Melo vs Wallace/Batum will show if he can get back to his scoring ways. Amare vs LA will show if he can go pound for pound with quality bigs.

[Rioferd]

5 second call!

Am I dreaming or are we actually putting in effort today?

[smokes]

No. He's right. I was about to post the same thing. The Blazers are 3-7 in their last 10. It isn't like we are doing this vs. elite competition, but I will end it there. We are up by 21.. Normally I'm used to the double-digit deficits.

But this is how we SHOULD be playing. We SHOULD be up 20 against a team like this at home. Previously we have had to claw back against these kinds of teams at home (Cleveland).

Off-Topic-If people worked as hard as Steve Nash, the NBA would be filled with stars.
