Jeremy Lin

Re: Jeremy Lin

It irks u when people storms the court??? I love seeing the fans go crazy especially seeing a underdog knock off a powerhouse program.

it's overdone. and makes teams look weak imo. If Kentucky was having a horrible season and beat the number one team, I wouldn't want them to storm the court. To me it says " OMG we beat the best team in the world, lets savor it, because it won't happen again"

Re: Jeremy Lin

Carmelo will likely ruin Jeremy Lin in NY. Trade him while he's hot. Seriously.

Re: Jeremy Lin

The only quality that doesn't make him fit is his tendency to iso. He can still get off in Pringles' system with his skills. And I'd be a damn liar if I said I didn't want Melo last year (but I wouldn't have given up what we did for him). During the LeBron saga I actually (and I know this easy for me to say now b/c you guys don't know me) prefered Melo.


If we can keep him down to a handful of isos a game he can stiil score w/the midrange J and the 3. I have faith in the dude...if I'm wrong so be it.

First, how did D'antoni get the Pringles nickname? I missed it. I think he could adapt to that system, but I'm not sure he would want too. Unfortunately, when he comes back, Lin probably won't have control of the ball as much, and that may disrupt the flow of things horribly, it could really ruin the chemistry they have going right now. imo

Look at a can of Pringles chips, then look at D'Antoni. You'll the biggest laugh you've had in awhile. And yes if he takes the ball out of Lin's hands it will be a disaster.

But again I think Melo will do the right thing. Yea he came here to get his shine on but I
think he wants to bring that chip to the city He and the team would be gods b/c most of us have never seen a Knicks chip in our lives. In fact we've seen almost every team except the Knicks win one.

I think that will trump eveything else and i think he'd welcome not having to do all every night.

Not anti for me, just not sure he's the right fit for this team. I think most teams would want do everything to get Melo, but under the current circumstances in NY, he could destroy the whole flow they got going.

Re: Jeremy Lin

D'Antoni's system is ALL about ball movement and mismatches. It starts with the point guard driving and dishing. Carmelo is simply too different a (and too GOOD a) player to play that way. Carmelo can't be turned into a jump shooter. It's not like he wouldn't nail the shots, but he's not necessary in the system at all and to maximize him and make him worth it, you're sacrificing the system. Run after makes, run after misses. Catch the defense off guard. Play to advantages.

You need shooters and athleticism on the team. You need a PG and a PF/C that can roll to the basket or shoot with reliability if wide open. You need a PF/C who can rebound the hell out of the ball no matter what. You don't need Carmelo. You need a guy like Gerald Wallace.

Melo plays best on-ball one on one. Lin is best on-ball and driving/iso. Baron Davis plays best On-ball as a playmaker. Stoudemire needs the ball down low.... 3 of these 4 players have major egos ... not a good combo in my book.

A huge reason why the Suns flourished in that system so long. Nash and Amare surrounded by shooters.

That was a great analysis btw.

Can't argue with any of those points.

OK, I see the Pringles comparisons now LOL

Re: Jeremy Lin

LOL How am I discrediting him though? Because I'm not falling all over him like everyone else is?

For the 100th time, I said he was balling right NOW and said the best comparison I'd make for him now is Goran Dragic(and people got on me because I made that comparison ). Or is being compared to him some sort of slight towards him now? Last time I checked, Dragic isn't a bum or some slouch and he's actually been pretty solid.

But again, we have seen PLENTY of players throughout the HISTORY of the NBA come from out nowhere, never to be heard of outside of Message Boards, have a nice little hot streak of games and then we don't hear much from them again aka 15 minutes of fame. Am I wrong on this one? This is not the first time nor is it the last time that something like will happen in the NBA, which was all I was trying to say.

Again, he's balling right now and he is doing his thing. What more do people want me to say or am I still not giving him enough credit? Serious LOL.

PPM, don't play stupid on how you are discrediting him. You said, MULTIPLE TIMES, that the only reason he is getting hype is that he is "an asian on a NY team". HOW IS THAT NOT discrediting him? Really??? Do I need to spend the time to quote your posts? Just because you said he is "balling right now" doesn't mean you haven't discredited him.

Again, you have discredited him by calling out his race, and discredited him again by calling out the team he plays on. Sorry to call you out, but you literally asked for it.
