Based on the video he still can't go left:
Lin Looked good playing with the Melo arm wrap though.
Apparently Dlee ran a clinic with the locals on how to play D-less-DLEE-D in the lane prior to the film shoot. He should have a fine Western Conference coaching career when his playing days are over.
"yeah...basketball...glad we did that...yeah..."
It should really be...Lin looked good with Iverson's arm sleeve. Lebron, Kobe, Ray Allen, and Melo all fashioned after AI.

Man, I am going to pull for the team but judging by this forum and other forums, I am a part of a group, not anywhere near as excited for this season with Lin gone. I already know I am not getting league pass to start the season.

If you got league pass online I don't know if it is neccessary. During the TW fiasco it turned out almost every game was available streaming for free.
earthmansurfer@ 9/9/2012 4:26 PM
Crush - Can't compare the two. If you are really going to enjoy a game, it is painful to watch it in a small box, even if it is free. I don't mind paying was my point. Now, it's sort of a wait and see approach as I'm not happy with letting Lin walk. Just my little way of expressing my discontent in a more actual way.

If you get league pass, you're still lined dolan's pockets.

For those of you wanting to relive the Lin days, or for those rattling for basketball, here are some full games on youtube (comentary isn't in english I warn you):
Some other games listed next to those, if you can translate Mandarin.
I'm not as hung up about Lin leaving as some people, and I'm hoping Felton is up to the challenge. I am interested to see this season if the Linsanity stretch was just a case of him being on fire and in the perfect situation. Interestingly, the last 5 games of D'Antoni, and the games Woody took over, Lin seemed to hover between average and below average- I wonder which is the real one?

If Amare is healthy, we finally have a team that might be able to compete with the Heat and no one is excited???... The story of a kid out of no where by passed by scouts is a better storyline??..

NAH, most of us are not full, amare being healthy or not has little to do with the fact that he doesn't mesh with carmelo.... end of story... amare's game is going to be hampered by mr iso ball man..... Lin being passed up by scouts is supposed to diminish him as a player or story? really? I don't understand the thinking of some NY fans... really, it is odd, just odd...
The fact that teams whiffed on this kid who is now one of the most popular players is a GREAT story line.. much better than amare being healthy.. we have had a healthy amare before with carmelo.. we know how this story goes..

OK...Amare play was hampered by not having a PG to run the pick and roll with him...So, not end of story...You saw more iso in the playoffs and down the stretch because they had no choice..4 starters were hurt or sick in the playoffs...Mr. Anti-ISO(MDA) ran iso last year in the playoffs against Boston for the same reasons, the rest of the team broke down...By the way, I'm here to watch the Knicks compete and challenge the Heat, I'm not here to watch a kid's storyline, nice as it turned out to be, It's still about winning a Championship...At least for me it is...

Nah, Amare being healthy and having us compete for a title is a much better story than the Houston Rockets.
Victor Cruz's story is actually better than Lin's but of course he's not asian, just a super bowl champion.

Don't think the horse was beaten to death but it does look like you ran a 17 page train on it. Wilburrrrr whyyyyy!!?

good luck with that.. the chances of us building a team to do that was thwarted by I-stay-A and dolan...
And I am not here to watch a kids storyline, I was here to watch lin.. but the knicks blew that, so all we have now is the story line... Lin made the knicks watchable... Good luck watching iso ball, lebron and miami love when NY does that...

Well that seems to be your theme which isn't the reason I watch the Knicks...Knicks are watchable no matter who dons the uniform...Lin will never be bigger than the Knicks...Winning trumps everything...Lin lost me when he decided he was bigger than the team...When he started waving off Amare and decided he knew better than passing to Melo...Hopefully the extra time in camp will help Felton and Amare get back to the things they were doing two years ago...Go Knicks!!!

RIGHT, and so far, we have not done that.. hence the apprehension with getting all mushy inside at the thought of watching carmelo and amare work together with an aging kidd and camby, a brick shooting brewer and a mental midget in JR smith... And I say these things having the utmost respect for Kidd, camby,chandler and amare, and of course guys like Kt and shump...the rest of this motley crew can go suck an egg...

Yup, and as long as the team has what the folks who pay to see it want, they'll continue to do so.
No offense but guys like TKF are like dudes who got females trying to make housewives out of.
Meanwhile they dropped off credit cards, paying car notes and shopping with the broads, thinking since they taking care of them, the girl needs to change into what they want.
For me, I'm tapping that girl too, but she aint the only one, just the one I'll say is my baby, but not 100% invested.
To be a Knicks fan, you have to appreciate everything else, the entire NBA, and not 100 invest in the Knicks.

You say we're about to compete for a championship, not me. I look at this team and I see 2nd round exit at best so why should I be excited?
technomaster@ 9/10/2012 5:58 PM
Amare... isn't he Mr. Iso, based on the shots he didn't turn down from the elbow? The biggest issue being that he didn't make them.

Amare average 1.1 assists and 2.4 turnovers last year - that might be a good place to start improving.

that's his career average as well, that isn't gonna change, those turnovers weren't even from attempting to pass because he can't.
What needs to change is exactly what the person you quoted stated....make more shots.
