Is anyone else absolutely LINsane about Jeremy Lin and the rest of the New York Knicks right now?
Seriously, he's such a beast and he just makes the other players shine...
In the Knicks vs Raptors (I think, tuesday 's game) He was such a boss with that last three point shot
and the game versus the Kings was soooo awesome~~
thoughts?

Don't talk about the Kings-Knicks game. Fuck the Kings and their inconsistency. They could be in the top 5 of the NBA if they played to their potential

I remember when he played for the Warrior's bench and everyone was talking about him being one of the few Asian players in the league and then he rode pine the entire year

you can kind of say that about anything. someone / something gets attention, everyone feeds into it more. is it a bad thing? this is a kid that nobody wanted and all the talent scouts counted out. he's been dominating in his first 2 weeks and in exciting fashion.

guy definitely deserves some credit, and creating a little buzz around the league aint a bad thing. especially in basketball where shit's so boring year after year. kobe, lebron, this n that. k who cares. lets see someone else take the spotlight even if only temporarily.

That's the thing about the Kings, they have an incredible amount of talent. They win 4 out of 5 including beating the best team in the league and then drop 3 straight to the Suns, Bulls without Rose, and now the Knicks. Marcus Thornton, Tyreke Evans, Demarcus Cousins are all capable of dropping 25 a night. Cousins is 3rd in the league in double doubles. I've seen Donte Greene dominate Kobe and Lebron all night long and then he can't even score 6 points against anyone else. What makes me angry is that they aren't missing any pieces, they're just missing motivation.

I think it's soccer, but then again I've never heard of a 3-point soccer shot... Perhaps he's a golfer?

This homie knows. DMC has looked incredible ever since Westphal left, Tyreke is a baller as always, Thornton remains clutch, Jimmer's been looking good as of late, and I've been loving Isaiah Thomas off the bench. Way too much talent.

hes a great player dont get me wrong but when melo is back to playing shape the team chemistry is going to fall apart. also they beat the raptors who are one of the worst teams in the league

Don't forget Thompson dropping a solid 10 each night and once they develop Hassan Whiteside they're gonna have a 7'2" premier shot blocker to go along with DMC in the post

Actually I'm more partial to the Celtics, just cause I'm from that area, but that doesn't mean I cant think other players from other teams are awesome and deserve recognition...

also...can I come to the wedding? :D

I think they're gonna be better. When they run the pick and roll they add an extra threat to pass to in melo. It will definitely cut down on Lin's ridiculous amount of turnovers. He's only played 6 games but he leads the league in turnovers per game
