Well the thing is, the Lakers have the height to affect Lin's penetration. Gasol, Bynum, and Josh McRoberts will clog up the paint and ensure that Lin doesn't get those easy layups. Not to mention that Ron Artest/ Barnes will usually help out on defense. That's why having Amar'e would have made all the difference. Gasol n Bynum will just double Tyson in the paint. With Amar'e playing, they would have no choice but to stay 1 on 1 defensively to avoid getting burned.

I don't know about that IMO, but for sure, there is gonna be a big build-up for the game.
I'm really glad JLin's getting his shine finally and has an opportunity, as NT's original JLin stan
. I was bummed the Warriors cut him but things happen for a reason.
If he can ever develop a jumper, he can become very special
. At least for now, he's seized his opportunity and seemingly taken his game to the next level. His numbers won't be like they have been the last 3 games, but he can be a very solid starting PG for the Knicks for years to come

J-Lin vs J-Wall.....J-Lin wins.
Lin needs to be our starting PG. The man is a playmaker, he'll make Melo, Stat and Chandlers games better.
Do it Dantoni

he is our starting PG.
Only other player to average 20 & 8 in their first two starts? LeBron James; ergo, Lin > James.

This type of post makes me believe u haven't watched the last two games and only read or watch highlights
Either way. Lin AND Novak has provided this team everything it's been missing. Lin being the pure PG and Novak being the scorer off the bench. I just hope that when Melo and STAT comes back it won't mess up the TEAM aspect of their playing right now.

Obviously the scoring is going to go down when Melo and Amare come back. But if he can keep it around 12-14 pts with 8+ assists a game and keep the turnovers to around 2 or 3 per. I see no need to have Baron come back anytime soon. The kid single handedly brought the energy back to the Garden. You can tell he just out there living the dream.
And the fact that him and Chandler have that P&R working like clockwork with Lin taking no first team reps in practices is amazing. It will only get better between them. A real PG is clearly what the Knicks needed all along.

I don't know if LA is great test for Lin if he is real cause Fisher is the opposing guard. But Lin the last 3 games wasn't facing trash.

It's a big test because they will clog the paint
I'm personally just happy to have a legit pg. I don't think expecting Lin to be elite is fair. The most important thing is he has that court vision which you can't teach.
Getting baron Davis would be big. We would have 2 legit pg on a team that desperately needs it
Btw I have to give jeffieries props for the last few games. He is helping when we have guys out. Gonna be great to get jorts back
We need to go out and get some more legit shooters though. Walker can't cut it

Melo should benefit from Lin almost as much as amare. Now he can concentrate on what he does so well which is score
I'm honestly not worried about him not passing. It won't fly here people literally have started to yell at him during home games. Media and fans are gonna be on his %%! if he doesn't become a team player

The way I see it is this:
if Lin does well against the Lakers it'll be because he has Fish guarding him.
Does bad? His last 3 games were fluke games and when faced with a proper, good defensive team, he's just a 3rd string.
In any case, Ill be tuning in

That's ridiculous. The lakers have Kobe, pau, and Bynum while the Knicks have Chandler and Lin playing.

this!
Pau/Bynum = no getting to the paint.
just look at what happened last night. Lin didnt penetrate at first bc of Javale. the Javale got into foul trouble, sat out and we made our 2nd quarter run. and from there, he gained confidence and drove more. plus Javale isnt the smartest shot blocker or player at that. *see Javale Mcgee thread* *shots fired etc.*
we have no big man that can shoot, so they cant spread the floor. meaning Pau/Bynum will stay home on defense.
and Fisher/Goudelock will shoot the open shot. so Lin cant really help on defense like he did against Harris/Wall.
so don't expect Lin to have a game like the last three. im expecting slightly more turnovers and more 3pt/mid range shot attempts. and we all know, that he's not a great shooter.
plus. Landry/Shump/Walker/whoever vs. Kobe is not a good look. World Peace will just out muscle whoever is guarding him. Barnes/Kapono will get a lot of open shots due to fatigue from Landry/whoever running through screens.
although, I'm expecting that we have a good start to the game.
Lakers. Friday Night Knicks. LEH GOO!
