daJudge:
If Lin will be out for 6 weeks, can we place him on IR and at least get some help at the 1 for the rest of the season?Even a D league 1 would help this team right now.

No IR in the NBA. If Knicks want to add a body, they need to waive one first.

Kyrie Irving on the floor working out now. Per Byron Scott, Irving is a true game-time decision, based on how he feels after shooting around

this is what I was saying about Lin’s game since the start, it makes injuries very likely. of course anyone can get hurt, but his style makes it likely that he will be injured very frequently.

As per the knicks Facebook page

The innuendo re: Lin’s injury is kind of weird. The guy seems more than willing to play hurt, I doubt very much that it’s his decision to rest. Re the 100% stuff, we all know he ain’t gonna be 100% until next year. I think he’s talking relative to playing in a way that hurts the team’s chances to make the playoffs. I dunno, just don’t think the guy is anything less than a gamer.

ruruland: Here’s a wild idea: Lin is sick of talking to the NY media about an injury issue that hasn’t changed all that much the last week.

I disagree. You have to see it from Lin’s point of view: that there’s no benefit to him in being a recluse. Also, he has never acted this way before; he has always been available and open. The only reasonable explanation for avoiding the media now is that he has been ordered to do so.

jon abbey: totally irrelevant, but thanks for sticking up for your hero.

Well, Shump is kind my hero for the moment…

jon abbey: sorry, Z-Man posted in between, my post referred to this:“Shump been out 3 game and another 4 game stint. I think Lin deserve benefit of doubt”
