Still can’t believe this happened. Has there ever been another athlete in any sport who was more of an underdog/guy out of nowhere with more pressure to prove on the biggest stage that he wasn’t a fluke and respond like he did?! I would have been happy with 13 pts/6 assists, but 38 points?!?! Against Kobe and the big bad Lakers?!?! It is truly historic, one of the greatest moments in Knicks history. If he never does anything else, he will be remembered forever. Jerry Sandusky is talking on ESPN right now. What opposite ends of the spectrum of sports and life.

Gamecockerbocker: My God, John Barry is a dick.

What did Barry say? Where can I find some postgame Kobe comments?!

I wonder what Lin is doing on the 24th? Dolan better buy Lin a first class ticket to Orlando. Lin has put up good sophomore numbers through 13 games that will only get better during the remainder of the season. He’s been the Lintegral part to the current 4-game winning streak.

The Missing Lin-k

alsep73: I’m still trying to brace myself for Lin’s inevitable descent back down to earth, but given how bad TDWTDD and Shump Shump were at impersonating a point guard, all we need from Lin is competent PG play, and I think it’s clear we’re going to get that from him, even if he’s not exploding for 25+ every night.

No, this is a seismic shift. How about that outside shooting? I guess he answered the questions on the last thread in the first quarter. Don't go under the screens, boys. All Melo and Amar'e have to do is be as good as Novak and Jeffries. Fucking mind blowing! Ten years of pain and lumps in my throat. On some level, as miraculous as this is, it's sort of like, "it's about fucking time!" Linstant offense!

Decent PG play is challenging to find if you do not have the cap space. We could've picked up Ramon Sessions or other quality pg. We could've even been in the running for Chris Paul if we used the same package we sent to Denver. With limited cap space and unable to trade a first round for the more almost half a decade, we had to rely on: Toney Douglas Iman Shumpert Mike Bibby Carmelo Anthony Jeremy Lin Granted, we are very fortunate that Jeremy exploded and is a PERFECT fit. Right before jeremy exploding, we were considering trading for J. Flynn. We sold most of our team for Melo, I wished Dolan waited. Similarly, having a front core is not enough to win games. We need decent pg play, spot up shooter, and so forth. Cap space would've been nice this past summer. The Melo-esque trade is on the same caliber with Eddy Curry and Marbury trade, they can hurt a team for the remainder of the decade. It's not so much Melo but the amount of pieces we used in the trade.

Think David Stern is trying to figure out a way to sneak Lin into the Rising Stars game? Another week like this one and I bet it will happen- too great a marketing opportunity not to take advantage of.

sorry that came out wrong this is what i said:

What the hell do you need cap space for?…you have a dominating front line all you need is decent pg play

L fields
Shumpert

Can make money over the cap to resign
