Fresh off a 2-8 shooting performance and 4 turnovers, the overhyped wonder is going to get eaten alive by ShaoLIN.

Nice game thread just gotta work on the title! You know game time, opponent, bargain hookers etc

shiiiiit - this game is IN MINNESOTA? TOMORROW? man, this schedule is brutal.

brace for a bit of a letdown game, guys. our boys went out and smacked down kobe tonight, it's gonna be an emotional letdown to be in an empty arena in minnesota (even if it's sold-out, it'll feel empty after the garden rocked tonight).

i think they CAN win this game, but i'm also prepped for a bit of an emotional hangover from this lakers game. we'll see, i guess. i know i will be watching either way.

crzymdups @ 2/11/2012 2:57 AM
and i think Lin will bring out the best in Rubio - meaning this is gonna be a DUEL.
gunsnewing @ 2/11/2012 2:58 AM
with a PG like Lin there are no letdowns. He makes the game too easy. Easy shots for himself and his teammates. We no longer rely on 3 pointers to win

it's his first back to back game playing heavy minutes is what makes me a little nervous.

What a relief!!! Also we win with defense now so as long as Tyson and Jared come ready to play and our guards are ready to defend we should be ok even if they're tired.

hey, i love this team... but you guys do realize they will lose at some point again, right?

gunsnewing @ 2/11/2012 3:28 AM
he played 39mins tonight better than 45. He will be alright he can rest on Monday. If he was 40 like Jason Kidd I'd be worried about the back to back

Eventually they'll lose, but it doesn't have to be tomorrow!

Haven't been this excited to watch the Knicks in a long time.
JCrusher @ 2/11/2012 10:45 AM
when you have a pg that can run d'antoni's system and having the defense playing as as good as they are we are tought to beat even with a depleted roster. I just hope Tyson and Jeffries are ok since they toook tough tough hits last night

If Lin leads the Knicks over Rubio's Wolves,
the hype machine will be cranked to 11. Buckle up.

Forget just saving MDA's job. There's a good
chance he may have saved Stern's job as well
after all the bad press from the lockout.

Good luck charms for the game...

This will actually be a tough game to win- Twolves have a lot of talent hidden amongst all the low bball IQ's. Their centre, Pekovic has come out of nowhere, and is averaging 16 points on 60% shooting and 9.7 rebounds over the last 6 games. One of my most hated NBA player's, face stomping Kevin Love might give us fits.

I don't know- the Twolves roster just seems to have a lot of players that can light it up for a game inbetween bouts of underachieving- Beasley, Anthony Randolph, Derek Williams- they're unpredictable. On the plus side they are also coming off playing a game yesterday, but they are a deeper team than us.

It's a tough game to predict- we could win, or we could lose badly.

This Jeremey Lin fella sounds good. I might actually watch a game one of these days.
