Boomer and Carton did are doing the game on the Fan. On the pregame they were saying Deron has been playing his best ball of the season.

Lin played rather decent tonight...Curry had his moments but so did Lin....At least the Rockets didn't let Curry drop 50+

If that's decent well Im not sure what to say without outright bashing him..He is still making the mistakes of driving the lane stopping without a plan which leads to turnovers...Notice he didn't have the ball down the stretch after that play..And he did it once again but Curry bailed him out with a foul, good acting on his part..Ok..If u and the GM thinks Lin is worth 8.3 mil per, good for u..Glad the Knicks didn't match that ridiculous contract...

holfresh @ 3/9/2013 1:47 AM
Imagine this, your PG can't handle the ball the last five minutes of the game because he just make more bad decisions in the lane than good...I see people here killing McHale..Im shocked, well not really ..

I don't think Woodson is fond of playing/developing rookies like Waynes but Jannero Pargo would be a great pickup for Woodson's style of play

I'd love for us to get a guard. Seeing Houston of all teams have another nice young guard is disheartening. But, I think management is afraid to admit to making a mistake. This is our team going forward...
At least we are playing much better lately, against OKC and Miami - very close games.

Don't worry about the $$$, it is Dolans, a billionaire. The PG position is important and it would have been (or be) nice to have gotten a better one and have Felton as our backup. We are trying to win a championship, not save money in a small market. (And Lin, by all accounts, would have come close to paying for his salary).

I'm not worried about the money, just the flexibility of our front office...Ain't my money...Well Lin isn't running any PG spot anytime soon in the playoffs...Lin is an NBA player and deserves a spot on a roster..However, many here would have him as the next coming which clearly he isn't...I too, would love Felton to be a backup, but reality must and should be embraced..We had no other option...Felton was the best available PG, even over Lin...If CP3 forces his way out of LA to come to the Knicks, I would drive the dude cross country to get him in a Knick uni..But, this scenario isn't likely is it...Lin is garbage, just another dude trying to maintain his job in the NBA...

If Lin is garbage, then what is our starting PG?

For some perspective, to this point in the season, Lin is playing much better than Felton (on offense and defense) and their team is humming (albeit not a championship caliber team, but still.) I don't think Lin is a great PG at this time, but he is 4 years younger than Felton, playing better, and has improved quite a bit this season. I think we can safely say, Felton is playing worse now (as he has done before with the hot starts).

We are capped out, we have no flexibility. As a matter of fact, we'd be better off with Lin and over the cap than without Lin and over the cap. At least then we would have had an asset and nice expiring.

If we get Paul then we are the champion. I would be a reborn Knicks fan if we somehow pulled that off... I am excited about the draft, maybe we get lucky. We have passed so many good PG's that if it is close regarding BPA and a PG is one of them, I say we go PG.
