Oh man, time to put the boots on... and I like Raymond Felton. I thought he played over his head when he was here and he did come back down to earth those last few weeks before the trade. I do look forward to seeing what Felton can do here, but Lin fell into our laps as Panos said. We for sure have a very very good team. But without Lin, I really see our best shot (not only shot but best one) fall by the way side when it comes to getting past Miami and then OKC, LA, etc. A big three of our own (Chandler can't score well so he is not there) would have given us the best chance imo. I am open to Melo and Stat tearing it up and maybe making me a believer, but I just don't see it happening. Who knows, maybe the ghost of Lin will be a good thing.

Yeah, I BET they want to focus on the current team! Why think about the gift that fell into their laps that they let slip away?
Maybe because it's a better BET to focus on the current team than on the last time we saw the "gift":

No big deal at all. Jeez, I still have Marbury jerseys.
Just pointing out that the "gift" was "broken" the last time we saw him...

Good for him.No hate here, just disappointed that he'd trade what could have been a great run at MSG for what's going to amount to a middle of the road career in Houston. Our insipidly stupid owner aside. Hey, maybe the Rockets game ho's are bit less of a problem for a young humble Christian man than our KCDancers. Understandable.
I will never forget Kobe's comment at the height of the supernova: "He just went for 40 against us...I'm not giving him any dayum advice..."
I now find beating horse skeletons into a fine white powder to be a great and fulfilling experience!understand this, it was the knicks who promised to match, they didn't say they would match if he did this, or was offered this.. they said they would match!!!! NY said that.. they didn't and they blew it.. this is not on lin..
Next, Houston is set up pretty nice, they will have a chance in the near future to make moves and improve. It is funny how you call them middle of the road.. well where in the heck are we?

I will tell you why because he stinks and everyone knows letting a 24yr old pg walk for nothing is assinine. But its easier to convince yourself that lin isnt worth the money then deal with the harsh reality of the situation. A terrible predictament because the owner is an alcholicwell fields doesn't stink, but I get your point here... everyone is trying to convince themselves that letting lin go was the Prudent thing to do.. LOL
sort of like losing a lottery ticket and then telling yourself it didn't matter because of all the problems that come with having a lot of money.. Pointing out the past lottery winners and their misfortunes...... yea..... ooooookayy.... LOL
"waits for posters to come in screaming.. you comparing lin to winning the lottery?"<reads post, then reads sig>

Get it right JROD! The Chosen one was not broken. The Chosen one was 85%!

Correction! 85% of being near the 97.8% required of the 100% it would take to actually be 50% day to day...
