After watching yrs of Kidd do that type of stuff to us. It was great to see him make those type of plays for us.

False. I don't care about your hate for Lin but his TO is the league average for a PG this season thus far. I'm just saying that Knicks are such a tight unit that it wouldn't matter if Lin or Kidd was part of it or not.
Woodson show great potential last season.
HAHA My hate for Lin WOW now that is ironic!
Have you looked at his (and Felton's) TO #s? I'm not saying you hate Lin. You probably were just unaware of the actual numbers this year.

I remember one high TO game from Felton. I thought I saw a couple from Lin. He is on my fantasy team I should know lol
why mention Lin? I was furious and still am we didnt sign him, but this team is better without him and with the guys we have. Kidd and Felton have been perfect. Perfect mix of attacking, taking care of the ball, defending and making good choices. Not signing Lin hurts because he could have been a big part of the future here and we let him go for nothing. Whats that got to do with anything?
We assembled a group of old but good players with a lot to prove.

I agree Fish. The fact that the Knicks are winning makes it a lot easier to digest losing Lin for nothing, at least right now.When Amare went down I expected this team to be fighting for a playoff spot again only to get swept by Miami. Never in a million years would I have expected 6-0 with Miami and San Antonio on the schedule. From Grunwald going after the right players that fit Woodson's system to Woodson demanding respect and holding every single one of them accountable and getting them in basketball shape while the league is still catching up, to the players who for the 1st time in a long time are high IQ players with rings. It's been absolutely awesome. I'm gonna pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming
Dudes will to win is inhuman. Dude took the game in his own hands and made the BIG, HUGE plays necessary to win.
Iron Man
After Kobe's 44:02, the second leading consumer of minutes (for both teams) was Jason Kidd at 38:43. When Kidd is on the court, the Knicks win. Period. A day of rest would be in order. Get that man a quality masseuse.
No one has talked about Kidd as the Knicks leading rebounder against the Lakers (9) and second in assists (5) with only one turnover. Jason Kidd had 9 rebounds. More important, when the Lakers made their run in the fourth quarter, there was never a sense of insecurity.
Just a thought.

which is why for me, he is the best player on the knicks at this point... yea, I know people are going to go crazy and call me a carmelo hater, but when I say this, I guess I am hating on everyone because I think kidd has more "talent" than anyone on this team and a IQ to match... this is why the nets team with average to good players were damn near dominant.. Kid was just that good... dude was dominating games shooting 39%.. how is that? kidd is good, although aging... he still knows how to win..
tkf - you make some excellent point.
Who checked Kobe? Jason Kidd.
Reason number 5
The first reason is that Mike Woodson demands his stars take responsibility.
Jason Kidd is the second reason NOT to worry about the return of Amar'e Stoudemire.
