Melo and Amar'e are suppose to make it easier for Lin but he keeps playing as if he needs to do it by himself, he also rarely passes them the ball, he hits Chandler/Novak/Fields/Jeffries more than he does STAT and Melo
We've seen Lin take control and run this offense, had one of his best games of his life against the moves. You're too bent on up on Lin hate to make sense of anything. You're putting too much credit into Davis when its Novaks sharpshooting and Shump D's that got us back in the game. Doesn't matter who was the PG was.
no because he took out Baron and Jorts when they brought us back
Melo's ass should be on the bench until he gets a fcuking head on straight
MELO CANNOT HIT A SHOT AND MOVES LIKE MOLASSES......do not blame LIN for Melos woes...
How does anyone not understand this?
It means the Knicks right now couldnt beat them to win the Ring.
What game are you watching Metrocard do you not realize that everytime Davis was in the game in tonights game and against Boston the lead was cut down and everytime Lin comes in the other teams lead grew. Yes Baron takes some bad shots but he plays under control, he isn't putting himself teammates in bad situations, and he knows when to slow down and speed up the tempo.
Hop off of Lin's dick already Linsanity is over it's obvious he still has a lot of work to do teams have scouted him and he's not ready to lead this team to a deep playoff run it's just facts Davis is a better, more skilled, more experienced player than Lin.
are you shittin me, so why was Melo effective with
Andre Miller
Chauncey Billups
Steve Blake
Ty Lawson
Anthony Carter
Lin is feelin himself toooooooooooo much
But thats not the point of my post I was saying Mike D'antoni is the only coach that under utilizes his star players unless their a pg. All those teams you mentioned Miami, Chicago, OKC, and LAL use their star players all the time the ball is constantly in their hands.
melo is strugglin hard all season man, lin or no lin, cmon everybody can see that

Take control and run the offense against who?? the raptors,and other shithole teams?????????? the Lakers? because they did not know what to expect?????????? :teeth: i dont hate Lin at all, but i do have a brain to know he's not this SUPER INCREDIBLE AMAZING UNSTOPPABLE GREATEST PG IN THE WORLD the media hyped him up to be.... the shit is just now starting to hit the fan, yes shump D is a part of the reason we got back in the game i already admitted that. yes novak shooting helped, but guess who was controlling the offense and understand the defense & understanding where to pass the ball? could it be Douglas? could it be Bibby? could it be LIN? No not at all it was BARON CRIPPLED ASS DAVIS, Lin takes more bonehead shots and commits more T/O in 15 mins than davis does. It's not a magic trick that we went down 12 when Lin comes in the game.... its not always about offense either defense is a key... and as you can see Davis clearly is a better defender as well. Im not saying crush lins mins, im saying Baron needs to be starting with the other vets and get them going early...We've seen Lin take control and run this offense, had one of his best games of his life against the moves. You're too bent on up on Lin hate to make sense of anything. You're putting too much credit into Davis when its Novaks sharpshooting and Shump D's that got us back in the game. Doesn't matter who was the PG was.
But why is he struggling?
It's because we keep putting him in uncomfortable situations first he's asked to be a Point Forward and now he's asked to basically be a role catch and shoot player.
I'd hate to see a post where you actually didnt just bitch about Melo.I'd hate to imagine what the final score would be if the ball was constantly in Anthony's hands.
If thats the case then why was it as soon as Lin got in foul trouble in the first against Boston and Davis came in with the starters everything looked under control and fine but in the 3rd of the Boston game when Lin was in with the starters Boston makes their run, then when Davis comes back in with the bench NY catches up.
I don't think you understand how extremely important having a decent PG is to Mike D'antoni's horrible system there's a reason this team was so terrible with Douglas and Shump starting at the 1.
