Wow, Detroit is phucking awful.

ehehe, they do look bad. But the way Lin threaded some of those passes, were a thing of beauty against any pro player. His speed wasn't all back but he looked good out there.
Oh, think about Houstons team. Talk about being thrown together, not bad considering. I mean the Lakers are having problems and they have talent. Chemistry is a big issue for teams.

Don't worry, you will get more chances to see some of his highlights. It is not going to go away anytime soon is the feeling I get from seeing the disparity of comments on ALL the Knicks boards.

But anyway,... Go Knicks.

No way we can get that type of production from Felton!

So where were all the "Happy for Trevor Ariza" threads when he won a chip? Or the happy for Toney Douglas threads? He played last night too.

Trevor Ariza Starting Lakers vs Suns

And uh... Toney went 0-5...

Just imagine as a bench player on the Lakers watching Kobe score 30 + points every single game. As a member of his squad, his teammates all expected that sort of thing from him. There were no surprises at all.

And now imagine yourself as a Knicks and watching your fellow unknown player go nuts out of the blue and especially during a moment of crisis where he rally his team back from a losing record.

It was fun.

People sought out Knicks game on the internet just to watch Lin play. Do you think people would do that for Melo? No, because they'll just catch his usual highlight on ESPN or NBA.Com.

Now that Harden and Lin are teammates, the Rockets are sure as hell fun to watch now.

I will be happier once Prigioni picks his pocket

The Prig threads are coming bro be patient...the season is upon us.

Yep, Prig threads suggesting that he start over Felton.

It was fun to see Novak and Chandler and the rest of the Knicks bench go crazy after every crazy Lin shots. For a moment there, you really felt team chemistry. You felt they all loved who this guy was as their teammate.

You said that very very well. It is hard to describe what Lin meant to this franchise. No, he isn't a top tier player stat wise, but the kid was just special. I take the special player - they don't come around that often. I would much much much rather watch Lin play than Melo or any other current Knick player. I think this was a bit of the problem, Melo's team was becoming Lins team. This wasn't about the money considering Lin would have made the team more than he would have cost it, this was partly about control. The most popular guy on the team, wasn't the 20 + 22 + 23 million dollar Stat or Melo, it would have been the 5 + 5 + 15 million dollar Lin. And that didn't sit well with some...

Well, I can watch the Knicks games but like a lot of you guys I will be tuning into more Rockets games (as will many basketball fans who tuned into watching Lin here last year.)

This is the difference between a team fan and a player fan. You are all caught up on points, very Meloesque. Let your eyes be the judge. Lin helped us win, pure and simple. He had the highest +- Houstons first game, which was a win, just like he often had here in NY. I take the win over the stats, every day of the weak. Enjoy Melos great stats this year, somehow I don't think it will improve our chances to a championship, though we can hope. Miami won the championship and you are highlighting one game, his worst. Throw into the equation all the other games where he helped turn the team around.

We will all be watching that next Miami game...

Sounds like you are confusing "fan" with "fanatic". See, if you dislike something your team does or has done, you can speak out about it. You don't have to leave the team nor should you have to. Just like if you dislike something about your country you can try to change it, you don't have to leave. Where would that type of ideology have gotten us?

Remember, sports is a business (not to mention a huge distraction) and owners will listen when it affects their bottom line. What you see here is just a typical reflection of the fan base.

it doesn't take a shit load of threads for the world to know your (not you specifically) disillusioned. Would be different if it were women starting these - Oh I am so emotional and sad - feminine ass threads.
