he's way better than i initially thought....don't know if he really played like a pussy in Golden State, though. seems to me like he really never got an opportunity until Pringles (D'Antoni) decided to roll with him. kinda makes me wonder if Sun Yue could be beastin if givin the right opportunity. word is, Knicks were going to waive Lin before the Tuesday deadline. Then, Pringles gives him some run and he has his incredible outburst. The plan was to waive him and sign Mike James prior to his game against New Jersey a week ago.
^ The Knicks were actually playing good ball with Amare, it wasn't until they traded for Carmelo that things went downhill, he wasn't good for the chemistry and after giving up Billups they didn't have a true PG. But yeah, they definitely caught a break here.
Landry Fields did better than Lin this game wish other players would get their credit.Lin shot 8/24 and 4/7 from the line and also had 6 turnovers. wasn't a great game by any stretch of the imagination
This story is as much about Lin as Melo and STAT being overrated players ... great scorers but nothing else ... you can blame Antoni or whoever you want but you are going nowhere as a team with Melo and STAT being your leaders ... yet medias and lots of fans keep ignoring the fact

When a player who didn't improve any relevant NBA team he's ever been on gets praised as a franchise player and by some as even the best at his position (better than LeBron), it's hard to think of anyone more overrated.Denver is now better than before the trade, too. lol
