If Lin = Matt Saracen, Fields = Landry “Lance” Clarke. A case I’ve been making for YEARS.

So who is Tami Taylor? Amber Rose?

The Honorable Cock Jowles: I only watched the first three quarters, but did Fields do something ridiculously dumb to deserve a B+ after 19 points on 10 FGA?

He, along with everybody else on both the Knicks AND the Wolves, committed some horrible turnovers down the stretch. One of them was an inbounds pass straight to Kevin Love for absolutely no reason. Kevin Love almost didn't catch it because he was so surprised that someone would just hand it to him, unsolicited, in the closing minutes of a tight game.

Sorry for blathering, but Melo I would think will be getting the ball in more advantageous positions rather than where he becomes instantly triple teamed. Look how many more opportunities Chandler got ( no more him waving a hand while a head down PG throws it to a guarded man in a corner).

You mean other than the five bonehead turnovers?

I like to think that with Lin in, the days of Amare being plopped the ball 18 feet away and being expected to do something are over. Same for Melo. In my fantasy Amare is converting at the basket a lot off PnR or the defense collapsing on Lin a lot more often and effectively than Jefferies. It should be more like how it was when they got hit last year with Felton. My concern is how many layups will we have to see with Amare in position but standing sideways. That’s one thing that I can barely recall sering lately and the credit goes to Jefferies (and Chandler but this is about Amare).

Brian Cronin: That’s a great analogy. That really is what it feels like, like they just won the lottery for the #1 pick in the draft.

I think Dolan must have secretly sold the Knicks last week. It's the only explanation for the absolution of their bad Karma. (and the new owner must be either the Dalai Lama, Warren Buffet, or Captain Sully Sullenberger...)

Z: And Jim– is the Non reference yours? On MSG I heard Hahn thank some guy who twittered a Superman II reference, but wasn’t sure what it was until I read the recap here. That is funny.

That was all Bob Silverman, who insisted the reference be in there. But I've definitely heard the reference made a few times. So spot on.

About three years ago, I spied a large Canadian Lynx with her three pups. The Lynx was dragging a deer carcass out through a corn field up the mountain. The carcass outweighed the Lynx by 200 pounds, easy. I watched this go on for two days. Since then, I’ve driven by that spot almost every day, but the Lynx is gone. When I watch Lin, I get the same feeling. I hope he sticks around though.

steveoh: Another very underrated Jeremy Lin attribute is how much he sounds like Matt Saracen. Clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose.

been saying the same thing to my wife all week! really endears him to me.
