I've dealt with back spasms before. They can be incapacitating. With some rest and a little treatment they went away, and thank goodness, they have never returned. I can't imagine playing with them.

Same here. Especially in the low back. Absolutely the worst, even standing up was an exercise in agony.

I think bigger name guys getting some rest this season is going to be key with this compressed schedule. I'm wondering now if Kobe will be able to keep this level of production up at the end of the year without some sort of time off to heal up. He looked great last Friday.

Anyone else hear Melo's press conference today? He said all the right things about letting Lin handle the ball and playing the wing/off the ball and basically him looking forward to not having to be point forward. I'm cautiously optimistic that this works. If it doesn't work, we'll just be back to being knicks-bad.
 
I don't live in Asheville. I live in Wilmington.

Direction is meaningless when players won't even consider resigning or signing there.

Larry Johnson re-signed with the Hornets back in the day. And that was before teams could control guys on rookie deals for up to 9 years.

I don't see how it would be an issue should they be in that position again with someone of a Larry Johnson-type talent. Nobody is turning down money to play out a year on a qualifying offer to get free agency. Except maybe Nick Young.
 
They'll never be in a position to sign anyone big because the team is located in Charlotte.
Did Charlotte fuck your girl?

Take the bitterness out for a second. When has Charlotte ever had the space, and the opportunity, to go after someone big?

Okafor, JRich, Wallace, Felton... There's never been an issue about people not liking Charlotte. All of them committed without a hitch.

Edit: forgot about LJ
 
My objectivity is an issue after last week's goaltending call and the non-call on Kobe's walk the play before? Yes, let's focus on that. You got me. That's the real issue here.



A post before yours
?

el oh el

Mamba, the lakers should just tank. Everyone is doing it. You might be able
to get someone who could stay in front of Lin next time.
 
How dare you. He was much better than all those other dudes and he stayed in Charlotte.

I knew when the Hornets traded him that George Shinn was not to be trusted.

I didn't follow contract situations and all that back when I was younger. I just knew that Mashburn was never healthy enough to matter.
 
Its amazing how poor of a shooter and finisher SHUMPGOD is.

He's just a guy that takes bad, off balanced, fade away jumpers so I can't defend that. His knee his jacked up though so he doesn't look right when going up for a layup/dunk. He has attempted some big dunks in traffic, but never looks like he's jumping right and I assume its because of his knee.
 
Wait, Kobe traveled on his game-winner yesterday?

I dont see it. The rules now give you like, an extra step if you catch a pass while in motion anyways.

Plus, he like, bounces the ball before he shoots. That usually helps.

Jeremy Lin is a good player but all the hype is because he's Asian. Black players do what he does every night and don't get the same praise.

y u mad doh lol he right

He's getting credit because he was buried on the bench, has saved Pringles coaching job, has helped the Knicks from completely spiraling out of control, and is outplaying a lot of top tier PGs right now. Oh, and he's in a huge market. A good player is a good player.

Naw

He's a good player. Maybe even better than Failton. And I love Lin. But 4 games =/= outplaying top tier PGs... Hell, Norris Cole should've been famous too.
His athletic ability and defense are the things he was lauded for.

And thats what I told Knicks-age they'd be getting.

but no

SHUMP DA GOD

SHUMPGOD
 
Saying Lin is getting attention because he is Asian is as silly as saying Love or Dirk are well respected and considered great players because they're white. It's nonsense.
 
Statistically nobody's done what Lin has in their first four starts, what he's done is worthy of attention regardless of his race. But obviously he is getting extra attention because of his race, as he should.

No it isn't. Thats a huge market getting opened up.

Dirk is a king in Germany but lets be real, the German-american population isn't anything close to resembling the asian-american population. Lin is making the NBA a fucking fortune and he hasn't even had a solid month yet.

Yao opened that door up years ago.

He's also yet to face a good team.
