New York Knickerbockers

[Droidz1979]

The heat are the hottest team in the NBA right now with all its players back from injury and they have minor personnel changes only so team chemistry is not a problem at all and they play high premium to D. It showed how much respect they've had to Lin's game that they predicated their D on shackling J-Lin and ruining the offense of New York. Bawi na lang next time ang New York as i still think that if the Knick's players get further practice time to mesh together and recover from injuries, then they are the dark horse and team to beat at the play-offs.

and these teams may have scouted jeremy lin already.

this could mean the end of linsanity.

 

 

i like the knicks, not a hater of the team. just giving my honest opinion.

[launchpad]

in this case someone has to step up or else its another losing streak in the waiting

[johncharles]

everybody knew that Lin's stats will drop down eventuually due to defensive adjustments and Melo being himself again.

but as long as he secures his spot as the starting point guard,

Jeremy Lin is a virtual lock for the 2011-2012 Kia NBA most improve player award

and these teams may have scouted jeremy lin already.

this could mean the end of linsanity.

I beg to disagree.. I think barring any major injuries, the tall front line of of Chandler, Amare and Melo with the emergence of Jeremy Lin, and the development of Iman Shupert and Landry Fields and the added depth of the bench from Baron Davies and JR Smith as well as the steady contribution from the likes of Jared Jeffries, Steve Novak and the return of their rookie big with range in Josh "Jorts" Harrelson makes them a deep team and among the teams to beat in the second half. They were beaten with the best wing help team defense in the NBA with the presence of Joel Anthony, Lebron, Wade and Cole/Chalmers and not because J-Lin got scouted already. Only the Nets and the Jazz team can probably use that excuse that they have not scouted Lin during that 8-game winning streak. The Lakers watched films of him, just so happened that their biggest weakness which is at its PG position (too old and Blake coming from injury) got exposed by J-Lin and the Dallas game which was the top defensive team at that time (Miami was only a close second as well as the Bulls) with the supposed to be PG stopper in Marion was in fact not enough to stop J-Lin and they were able to beat the Mavs and gave them a good fight. The all-star break can only help the team further improve their team chemistry and shake-off the rust from the likes of Baron Davies and give more practice time for the rest of the team to jell and develop some sense of chemistry. Yes J-Lin's production is bound to decrease but he'd probably be more efficient, with decent help in the presence of Baron Davis and the team would be deadlier because of it.

we should be looking at the situation to be the same as what happened with ricky rubio. i think by this time teams have already devise ways on how to control him but with the freedom his getting from the coach and how the team is confident him running the team, its not going to be easy to stop him also just by doing the x's and o's of strategy.

 

for jeremy lin, scouted it seems still it remains to see how he will be able to adjust and with the big chunk of arsenal at his side, its about what to expect from him in executing team plays. no matter how bad his game will be on the side note, we must not forget the knicks have the winning streak was due mainly doing defense. i dont really focus myself on how carmelo will fit in the offense or when does amare get its going with lin in the pick and roll, how many 3's novak can make etc etc etc. to me i want to see how they hold it defensively.

 

if we are to focus on jeremy lin alone and solely on him we will just get disappointed especially on tough games as the heat. but the kid is still learning though already 2 years in the league he was bench and even thrown at the d-league , suddenly his a spectacle to see. surely he will make mistakes unlike rubio who has many years of experience from the international league and national team.

 

the kid will make and still continue to make mistakes which to me would even cost them to lose games.

[Droidz1979]

i hope you are correct.

 

Even though I have my fingers crossed i guess the best way to find out would be to watch keenly for their upcoming games. Irregardless, i'd still be a fan as i stuck thru with the team when the time when Isiah ran it to the ground and it sucked big time. At least they don't have Marbury in their line-up to drag the team down while he brags that he's the best PG in the world. This team is way fun and light years ahead from its predecessor the way it was when it featured Camby, LJ, Allan Houston, Spree and prior to Ewing's injury.

Sana manalo pa uli sina Lin.

[johncharles]

Lin 1 turnover, 13 assist. Knicks win.

Good bounceback game .

[CharlesOngSy]

Kaya pa kaya for the playoffs?

[linsanity]

Linsanity is back! Stats would slide down for sure but his ability to make plays esp in pick n roll would nvr go. He just needs to manage his turnover which he showed today. Consistency is the key now.
