Note to Jeremy: Run a fast break away from this crazy woman Kim. Run Jeremy! First, she dates Reggie Bush, then has a quicky marriage to Kris Humphries.

She wants the attention from a professional athlete and the fame too much? Hmmm.

i say he is overrated and over hyped, if he wasnt a taiwanese/american the media wouldnt have blow this shit to the roof. THe guy is good, but not all star good. Far away from it, 9/10 times the guy drives to the right, his first step is got some speed but dribbles without confident when going to his left.

We will see how long he lasts, funny some of you think when melo comes back he needs to adapt Lin's game. Lets not forget, melo is the star here not lin.
U throw eric snow out there with lebron the king crab, u think its lebrons duty to adapt the no name PG or the other way around


Too many band wagoners, thats the bottom line. Shit load of ppl on fb dont even watch basketball, or never play the game before all of a sudden an Asian fool gets blown out of proportion now everyone wants a piece of him


THe guy is still Taiwanese regardless he was born in the States or not, hell im sure lots of u guys are immigrants but your parents may came over here at an earlier stage, you still bleed foreigner blood period. The guy still looks like an asian.

I've been watching basketball since the early 90s starting with Jordan and the Bulls and never stopped watching this sport. This Lin dude is the real deal. No, he's not a Rajon Rondo, a Derek Rose calibre of point guard. Give him the time to play with Melo and all his team mates, and to improve other facets of his game. He's gonna surprise many critics.

He's captured the attention of former NBA players like Steve Smith and Dennis Scott on TNT. Former NBA players who know a thing or two about basketball and talent. Heck, Kenny Smith picked Jeremy to be on Team Shaq for the Rising Stars Challenge game during the All Star Weekend.

I'm pretty confident that Kenny Smith, a former all-star point guard and a two time NBA champion with Houston, is a good judge of talent. Seeing Blake Griffin and J. Lin playing on Team Shaq will be fun. It's gonna be Lob City at that Rising Stars game.

My prediction is that J. Lin is gonna be one of the premier point guards in the NBA.

That's funny; you sound exactly like someone who doesn't know shit about the game...I wouldn't give a shit if his left arm was amputated...Why does it matter if he can only go right? Teams have had 6 games to realize he has no left hand, which by the way he does, and he's still dropping 20+ on them...So you're telling me that we have a guy here that has no left hand but still finds ways to score while having minimal weapons?? Sounds like he must be pretty fucking good then...I guess he'll be dropping 40+ once he does get a left hand right?

And you want to talk about Melo being the star? Let's get something straight...Melo and Amare have been the leaders of this team and have greatly underachieved...They were struggling to even make the playoffs in a weak Eastern conference...Melo goes down, Amare gets some time off, Lin takes over and has lead them to 6 straight wins...Can you please explain to me what makes you think that Melo is running this team right now?

[GG]

wow sounds like u know basketball real fucking well


Melo was injured


dude must be pretty fucking good going to the right than, big fucking deal

You make it sound like Melo has been injured the entire season which is not the case. Even when he was healthy and playing with Amare, a lot of times, the offense of the team are out of sync and can't produce any easy baskets.

I agree that 6 games are a small sample size but to see Lin help get the Knicks out of the shithole by playing team ball, getting everyone involved is a great thing for basketball.

Scoring isn't everything about NBA... you could drop 40-50pts and your team can still lose. That would make him an elite player in scoring only but probably not as an elite overall team player. I feel that these days in the NBA, there are less and less team players and too many individuality. It's about doing a little bit of everything that helps the team win.

No one is saying Lin is godlike, I think you are taking the Lin nicknames far too seriously lol

[Harvey Specter]

This guy is amazing but I'm sick and tired of the stupid ass racist slogans masked as witty slogans or stupid ass comments made by some basketball commentators. The guy is putting on a show despite his race and the NBA should really be happy that they have the prefect role model to showcase the league and it's players after the lockout.

I don't even know what to say to you...You think that a guy who is finally being given an opportunity to play is in the same situation as JR Smith dropping 40 points for a big night?...JR Smith has been given plenty of opportunities and has proven to be inconsistent....How can you compare that with Lin's situation: a guy who is being given an opportunity for the first time, and thus far, proving to be consistant.....? If only you knew how stupid you sound right now...

And Carmelo was injured?? That's your excuse? That's funny; I guess Melo has been injured every since he got traded to the Knicks then since the Knicks have been WORSE ever since they made that trade to get him.....

[freakshow]

@Tequilabomb, the problem is people like you that get affected by the hype. Yeah, he's making all the headlines, but no one who is really into the nba thinks he's god-like. He doesn't even tout himself as any good!

Take the headlines and hype with a grain of salt, he's a good player, but he's not the greatest. Laugh along with the memes and pictures and stop hating on a guy who is just doing what he loves. Let the band-wagoners jump on, they'll jump off soon enough.

His hype is not about how good he is; his hype is about his story......He's been ignored his entire life for reasons I'm not going to get into....and he keeps proving people wrong...He wins state championships, in HS, yet doesn't get a single D1 offer....Think about it: a guy who has made the NBA as a PG did not get a single D1 offer? Do you realize how ridiculous that is....then he drops 30 points on UConn....Enters for draft, nobody even looks at him....plays great against Wall in summer league.....finally the Warriors pick him as what was probably just for marketing purposes....they waive him, Knicks pick him up and he is finally given an opportunity to play....and the rest is history...like I said, it's not about HOW good he is, it's the about the fact that HE IS GOOD but has been turned down his entire life for stupid reasons...It's a great story that encourages people to simply never give up on their dreams...

[Ikkaku]

I think we have to distinguish whether we dislike the hype or JLin himself. Sure, everybody is blowing everything out of proportion, however, you must admit he is a legitimate player. He has the game IQ, and he also has a very refined set of skills. He might not be flashy like DRose or CP3, but what he is doing is working thus far.

As noted above, his story is awesome. It shows how much you can accomplish with hard work and persistence. He is also very humble. He could totally blow it up and make himself sound like a hero, but no, he insisted that it is through hard work that he earned an opportunity and he just did the best he could.

I have a feeling he's gonna do the opposite, he's gonna struggle finding his place scared to mess it all up knowing how NYK fans are, but after a short while he will figure it out, and Knicks will be seeing a second round playoff exit... Lin will gain that playoff experience and it will be the end of a good season, next year they will aim for conference finals that they will not make, lol

[dachinesedude]

to the haters, read some articles from time to time, the hype isnt because he's suddenly become "all star caliber", its his story and his influence on the sport of basketball

here's a good one:
Lin is transcending race and helping to shatter stereotypes | NBA.com (http://www.nba.com/2012/news/features/shaun_powell/02/17/jeremy-lin-and-race/index.html)

Who wasn't told, at one point, that they weren't good enough? Who hasn't been flat-out rejected, either by a grade-school crush, or a company CEO, or a loan officer? Who hasn't had to scrape themselves off the floor after another failure and come up with a new plan, another way of doing the same job better, in order to make it?

Lin was ignored in high school, wasn't drafted by an NBA team, couldn't stick with two of them, had to beat the bush leagues and then slept on a sofa because he wasn't sure the Knicks would keep him. Then he caught fire overnight. The first time he scored 38 points in a basketball game in his life, it came against Kobe Bryant. Because nothing was ever expected of him, and no fuss was ever raised over him until a week ago, he isn't spoiled by nature. He's humble and free of the jersey-tugging, preening, gesturing, chest-thumping culture that has polluted sports and soured it for many. That's all part of the legend and the lore by now, and that's why he's getting lots of underdog love.

But it also ignores the one thing we all notice but aren't quite sure how to handle, or even if we should handle at all. It's the one thing some of us don't or can't relate to.

Yes, the race thing.

Like mayweather said, if a black player did the same thing he wouldnt be as hyped, but a black player wouldnt be ignored by coaches and scouters in the first place

Statement on offensive comments

At ESPN we are aware of three offensive and inappropriate comments made on ESPN outlets during our coverage of Jeremy Lin.

Saturday we apologized for two references. We have since learned of a similar reference Friday on ESPN Radio New York. The incidents were separate and different. We have engaged in a thorough review of all three and have taken the following action:

• The ESPN employee responsible for our Mobile headline has been dismissed.

• The ESPNEWS anchor has been suspended for 30 days.

• The radio commentator is not an ESPN employee.

We again apologize, especially to Mr. Lin. His accomplishments are a source of great pride to the Asian-American community, including the Asian-American employees at ESPN. Through self-examination, improved editorial practices and controls, and response to constructive criticism, we will be better in the future.

At the half, Lin has 12 points on 5/10 shooting, 6 dimes, 2 steals, 1 block, and most importantly: only 1 turnover. Also, Knicks up 3.

28 points, 14 assists, 5 steals, 1 block...still 7 turnovers but a 2:1 assist-turnover ratio isn't horrible, especially if he's putting up 28 points.

Lin is also averaging nearly 40 min per game, he probably wasn't expecting to log that many min coming into the season. Also the shortened season doesn't help. Lin is improving in that his turnovers don't come in bunches they are more spread out throughout the game, I remember against the Hornets he had three straight turnovers.

[SupraMan604]

Good game for Lin overall just amazing when he hits those big shots especially the 3 ball on Novitzski! Was a fun game to watch...now I wanna see more knicks and LIN as he is playing mad minutes and the Knicks need him! He is the real deal.:thumbsup:

From 82 games to 66 games.

[Obsideon]

They are only going to play 66 games this season as supposed to the regular 82, but it's crammed into a shorter period of time so that's why you'll notice teams playing back to back to back which is crazy tiring. You can tell the effects are starting to wear on the older teams like the Spurs/Mavs/Celts.

Also for Lin who was averaging like 5 minutes a game for most of the year prior to Linsanity then is now expected to push 40min/game in this shortened season, fatigue could possibly be playing a role in his turnovers too other than the obvious like - rookie pg, inexperience, ball in his hands more, etc.

I don't know how he has been able to just smile or keep a straight face through all this...If I was him and I'm in the middle of MSG getting interviewed at the end of the game with the entire garden chanting "MVP," I would break down in tears knowing that, after so much struggle and after being overlooked time after time, I finally made it after capitalizing on the one opportunity I was finally given. I mean what if this opportunity never came? What if Melo never got hurt? What if the Knicks never were underachieving? What if Toney Douglas played as he was expected to? What if Baron Davis returned from injury a little sooner? What if Melo didn't vouch for Lin and tell D'Antoni to put him in the game?

I really wish Vancouver still had a NBA team. I used to be a huge NBA fan until the Grizzlies left town. Now if I want to watch a game, I need to drive down to Portland. But thanks to JLin, there's a reason again for me to watch Basketball.

[pastarocket]

There is some pressure on Carmelo to fit in with the current offensive scheme of the Knicks.

J.R. Smith bought into the game plan. J.R. is the type of player who can make poor decisions with shooting, a temperamental guy. He actually passed the ball in the Mavericks game and worked well with Lin.

Ball movement with Lin creating the plays for the guards and forwards to attack the basket, playing in the paint, is what coach D'Antoni emphasizes. Melo cannot play selfish basketball and do it all by himself.

A buddy of mine in New York knows first hand how tough Knicks fans are if you do not play well. If Carmelo messes things up, I think New Yorkers would run him out of town.

[bballguy]

Melo is distributing the ball well so far. He has 5 assists so far and has only taken 7 shots. Melo won't be able to play the way he has earlier this season, the passing and unselfish game that Lin has brought to New York is simply contagious.

That said, the Knicks are losing to the Nets by 16 points right now lulz.

anyone got the stats on melo? i just dont see him gelling in with the knicks now lol, its too much passing for him, hes more of a 1 on 1 shooter :\

amare lin chandler smith novak can be starters

[Sir_Loin]

Deron torched the Knicks, Fields can't keep up with him, Lin and Smith aren't strong enough. The Knicks badly missed Shumpert, he's their best perimeter defender and has the strength and speed to bother Deron. Nets shot 15/31 from three almost 50% you aren't going to win any games letting the other team shoot that well. Deron had 8 by himself.

[G]

Was it just me or did the Nets catch the Knick's defence off guard and blow past them a lot? I also felt that Amare/Melo combo isn't that good... I rather like the chemistry of Lin, Novak, Shumpert, Fields, and Chandler.

I never understood why LA had two teams playing in the same arena.

Now I know it's common for big markets to have two teams. But teams like the NY Rangers and NY Islanders at least play in separate arenas on the opposite side of the city which makes sense to me.

Why would they have two teams in the same arena. I find that extremely weird.

Can anyone explain it all to me?

Nothing to explain really...There is a market big enough for 2 teams to play right in the heart of LA so that's what they'll do...it's that simple...NY Giants and NY Jets both play in MetLife Stadium.

[DanHibiki]

^So that small % of Clippers fans (assuming the majority are Laker fans) is enough to sustain a 2nd team there? Man that's crazy

[bballguy]

^So that small % of Clippers fans (assuming the majority are Laker fans) is enough to sustain a 2nd team there? Man that's crazy

That "small %" is probably significantly greater a % than you think...There are A LOT of Clippers fans in LA and I'm talking even before Chris Paul came over this year. Also, LA is one of the most populated cities in NA...almost twice as many people as Vancouver + they have highly populated nearby cities.

In the 2011-2012 season:
Clippers are currently averaging 19,268 fans per game in the stadium...
Lakers are currently averaging 18,997 fans per game in the stadium...

So Clippers are doing better this year not just in the standings, but also in selling tickets!

[DanHibiki]

^whoa crazy. I used to be a huge bball fan back in the Grizzlies days and from what I recall back then, the Clippers were ass and they barely filled the seats. Good to see them doing well but I'm surprised they are bringing in more fans than the Lakers. I mean....it's the Lakers!!

So what does the home team dressing room look like?

[7seven]

I travel to LA a lot for work and to visit and before this season you basically had to give away Clippers tickets. I remember anytime I was at the studio, there were sets of Clippers tickets for free, all you would have to do is ask one of the admin girls. The Lakers where/are the hot ticket in LA, the demand was high and thus making Lakers tickets unaffordable to some and for some people who just wanted to watch some basketball, Clippers tickets where cheap, and with the huge population in the surrounding LA area, attendance usually was decent.

So what does the home team dressing room look like?

There are I believe 6 locker rooms at Staples, the Lakers, Clippers and the Kings all have their own dedicated locker rooms, along with a visitors room for hockey and basketball.

I never understood why LA had two teams playing in the same arena.

Now I know it's common for big markets to have two teams. But teams like the NY Rangers and NY Islanders at least play in separate arenas on the opposite side of the city which makes sense to me.

Why would they have two teams in the same arena. I find that extremely weird.

Can anyone explain it all to me?


The Lakers/Clippers and Giants/Jets play in the same city, so financially it makes more sense to play out of the same arena. It'd costs too much to build a second pro stadium for the same purposes and this way the arena gets to book more dates and rake in more money through concessions, parking, booking fees, etc....

The Rangers and Islanders don't play in the same city, Rangers are in Manhattan and Islanders are in Uniondale, bascially like Vancouver and Langley for reference, about an hours drive apart.

Tickets for clippers lower bowl behind the net (i think it's section 116 or whatever) is 65.00$ each.. the lakers under the same section is 115$.

So it's understandable for regular ball fans to watch the clippers instead now cuz 1. they have a pretty good team this year thanks to CP3 and 2. cheaper tickets.

[411ken]

That "small %" is probably significantly greater a % than you think...There are A LOT of Clippers fans in LA and I'm talking even before Chris Paul came over this year. Also, LA is one of the most populated cities in NA...almost twice as many people as Vancouver + they have highly populated nearby cities.

In the 2011-2012 season:
Clippers are currently averaging 19,268 fans per game in the stadium...
Lakers are currently averaging 18,997 fans per game in the stadium...

So Clippers are doing better this year not just in the standings, but also in selling tickets!

Clippers attendance last year was about 17000 so CP3 and griffin having a great season prior to this one has put them over the top which is great to see for once.. and who knows.. maybe because it's a short season that people were able to afford to go to more games :D

Clippers tickets used to be cheap. Not this season.

Went to the home opener against the Bulls, sold out, tickets are comparable to Laker prices in the resale market.

Clippers girls stand around the entrance/concession pre-game to take pictures with fans. :alonehappy:

Oh.. I actually just based my $ if I were to buy from their actual site (I chose the Twolves) and that's the prices they showed... Not sure how much it would be in the resale market.

It's no doubt the Bulls vs Clippers would bring the price up as that's a no brainer for sellers (paul vs rose + home opener) . But the question is.. how much would those tickets cost for face value

[iwantaskyline]

Damn, I thought I clicked on the Jeremy Lin thread. Whoops.

[joquio]

did you guys notice how the two steals from Lin by Chalmers and Cole were finished off by dunks from both of them, that really was an obvious statement letting him know whassup, these two guys never dunk and they're both like 6 foot roughly.... somebody from the Knicks should have pushed back, thought it would be Stat first Melo second


lol. I noticed it too when I was watching the game yesterday day.......
I was like HOLY FAWK! After Chalmers made the dunk, he never/rarely dunks!!!
He even stared down Lin after his dunk.

I'm sure he was like :fuckyea: :smug: "Your move, Lin"

[411ken]

Last night was the best . thing that cudve happened to Lin imo. Now this calm things down a bit for him. Kenny smith was right last night tho. Carmelo n amare shudve taken over to ease things off for Lin. Also. It shows how much they miss shumpert.

The difference is WAY greater than that.

Vancouver proper: 600k
LA proper: 3.8m

Vancouver metro: 2.3m
LA metro: 15.3m

So... LA basically has more than 6x the population of Vancouver.

[Alpine50]

Chalmers fucked this guy up last night, stealing and dunking on him, as for cole.

Off-topic but sort of related:

The state of California alone has a higher population then ALL OF CANADA COMBINED!

Canada - 34,108,752
California - 37,691,912

So now you have a better understand of why LA can easily accomodate 2 teams, also they were thinking of even having 3 teams because Sacramento was on the verge of moving to Anaheim which is basically like where Burnaby is to Vancouver.

[DanHibiki]

With your population combined...I am CAPTAIN CALIFORNIA!

Great game by the Knicks today.. bench was amazing, especially Novak lighting up from behind the arc. season high in points w/ 120 and season low of turnovers!

[Sir_Loin]

Lin with 19 points and 13 assists with 1 turnover. Bench stepped it up, Iman was key he's the Knicks best perimeter defender and helped slow down Irving in the second half.

[pastarocket]

Good game by Lin. The bench really stepped in up in the 2nd half to help the Knicks defeat the Cavaliers. Shumpert and Novak played really well.

saw pierce with some time to set his legs i'm like fffffuuuuuuuuuuck he's making that 3 :(

knicks needed that win to catch up to boston too
just think, if what's his face didn't get the technical after that dunk and stare KG down, they coulda won that game. i never understood why guys can't be smarter and control their emotions or egos and get T-d up. that 1 point can cost games sometimes.

[Not really racist!]

^ shumpert IIRC

young guy i guess.. cant control his emotions.. at least cheer when ur not facing KG... lol.. auto non-sportsmanlike tec, it was a taunt too i think

NBA's been trying to strain out the street/hip-hop culture from their game for some time now, starting with the dress code for injured players sitting on the bench

Many NBA and non-NBA sports figures also claim that it targets young black males and is a slap against hip-hop culture which the NBA also exploits to its benefit when it suits them
-wiki

david stern wants the NBA to be viewed as a sport with a little more class, and less affiliated with its street-ball, black neighbourhood, ghetto roots... hence the strict no taunting, no trash talk rules

kinda racist imo, but i can see where they're coming from

Honestly, if they want to change the dress code and whatnot, that's great, I don't care...but don't change the game to make it so there is no trash talk...50% of sports is mental, and by restricting players from doing certain things as such, it prevents players from getting into their opponents heads, and that can have a huge effect on the outcome of the game....and some of that shit is simply done in the heat of the moment...You make a huge block or throw down a huge dunk, you want to make some noise while doing so to pump up your team and it's honestly just a reflex; you can't prevent it from happening by throwing out technicals...

[Not really racist!]

Ever since what? three seasons ago? They started calling a shitload more technicals...One could argue both sides of the coin.. but I do agree, I miss the days before officials became so anal

[Obsideon]

QFT!
What's wrong with showing emotion to pump up your team or demoralize the other team?
That's how you build historic rivalries, and gets the crowd into it too. You have players that try to get under the other teams skin to throw them off their game (think Burrows/Kesler/Lapierre on the Canucks), it's all part of the strategy. You get your team hyped up and you could go on a 10-0 run when everyone is clicking, or you get the ball slammed down your throat by trying to block Blake Griffin and he laughs at you. Then you no longer have the confidence to try and block his next attempt again, giving him an easy basket. Vice versa if Mutombo blocks your feeble layup attempt into the 20th row then finger wags your ass, guaranteed you won't be driving into the paint at him for the next little while ... All part of the game...
You want to watch people versing each other with no emotion? Watch Chess.

[dlo]

Woah chess is full of emotions!!! Take that back now!! I can understand a lil scream at someone after u posterize em etc etc, a lil finger wag can actually piss someone off and start a fat fight

I posted this a while back from a few pages ago, hate to say it but I knew this would happen. Once Lin faces some premier defenders like Rondo he got shut down.

I'm all for the Lin-wagon right now but to take a step back and take off the Linsanity glasses, look so far he's lined up against:

D-Will - by far the best defender of the group but he is on a CRAP team that has no help defense AND he has to carry the offense load for the entire team, he must be tired.
Devin Harris - Shell of his former self
John Wall - He got owned by Lin even in the Summer leagues so anyone could have seen this coming, plus his defense is atrocious!
Derek Fisher - WAY too old to do anything now ... I don't even know why they still have him around ... only cuz he's Kobe's buddy?
Rubio - All flash and fancy plays, no defense.
Calderon - Never known for defense.

The game before that, although a SMALL sample size because he was still relegated to backup and only played 7 minutes, but he was shutdown by Rondo, 0-3 from the field, 2 points, 1 assist.

I want to see what he can do against the ELITE defenders before truly seeing what he is worth. I want to see him face Rondo again head to head, or Derrick Rose, Chris Paul, Westbrook ... especially interested in seeing how he can adjust his strategy playing against Orlando with super blocker Dwight in the paint at all times. I doubt he will be able to drive like he does against Dwight like he did to the Nets who have Kris freakin' Humphries guarding the rim lol ...

Jeremy got blanketed by the Heat too and struggled, but to be fair anyone that's being hounded by Lebron and Wade are gonna be in for a tough night.

I don't think it really comes to a surprise to anybody who truly follows and understands the game; he's going to have his games in which he struggles mightily, however, he still needs to find other ways to remain effective and D'Antoni's system will allow point guards to do so. You have to keep in mind that he really is only a rookie, and rookies that are given the keys right away will struggle mightily in both the fg% and the turnover categories.

He had a solid game tonight. Though his shooting percentages were quite poor, he did manage to dish out 7 dimes while only turning the ball over twice.

:pokerface::badpokerface::alone:

They totally missed Chandler today, pretty much their only wall of defense in the paint. Knicks aren't that great of a rebounding team either, they got mauled with out him rofl, 15+ offensive rebounds + that brutal one at the end, and the guards literally just cuttin right to the rim

[bballguy]

Many of us here, including myself, were wrong about Anthony's ability to co-exist with Lin. Melo thinks he's the team leader, and pulled that act last year when he arrived and started preaching that everybody needed to play defense, but the problem is that his body of work is the play of a me-first loser. Adding J.R. Smith and Baron Davis to the mix just puts fuel on this fire. The team awkwardly defers to Anthony on offense, and suffers greatly due to his defense.
