Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
okay, he's had 7 or 8 good games.
He isn't even Taiwanese is he?
It's all the same stuff that happened with Wang at the Nationals, but at least he was Taiwanese.
And by the way, I know basically nothing about Basketball. Just to make that clear.

But what if they say something cool and you miss it?

And to be fair the Knicks are playing well thanks to his playmaking, they were on a streak and showed they could compete against higher tier teams like the Lakers and Mavs
The hype is annoying, but the man is playing very well, except for those turnovers

I dunno why its annoying, they are covering the hottest story. Its their job to do so.
More Lin the better. The city is alive. And he's helping people across the world. Its cool.

you're putting chalmers over lin? get outta here
It's:
Tyson > Joel
Amare = Bosh
LeBron > Melo
Wade > Fields/whoever
Lin > Chalmers
Ignoring the ridiculousness of using individual match-ups to gauge how two teams match up, I'm just going to say no on that one. Hell no, actually.

Yeah that was a stretch, I admit. Bosh has had a really good year. Bosh is better, I regress.

Many American would beg to differ. Ignorantly differ, but would beg nonetheless.
Pringles is a clown. Easily the most overrated NBA coach of the decade.
If only we had competent ownership maybe the Lakers could have had Lin.
The Lakers don't have competent ownership any more, but this is not their fault at all.
Last season when they gave Lin an offer, he chose to sign with his home town team instead.
This season when the Lakers tried to claim him off waivers, the Rockets picked up him instead due to their worse record last season, which gave them priority. At that point NY was not involved because if they did, they would've gotten him instead of the Rockets. By the time the Rockets released Lin, the Knicks decided they need a PG so they claimed him.
In other words, fuck Morey. He cock blocked the Lakers by claiming Lin only to have him released. There's nothing the Lakers could do to get him.
So let's all hope the Rockets get stuck in mediocre hell for an eternity.

He's a beast and shooting 50% from 3 point land because he gets wide open shots thanks to teams focusing their D on LeBron and Wade. He wouldn't be nearly as successful on a crappy team. Lin is on another level, not even close.

Lin got ran over by General Greivis, he has no chance versus Beast Chalmers.

Yao Ming on Lin, a must read quote:

wait, what? The Knicks wouldn't be able to beat the bulls in the playoffs either, if that's what you're saying. Assuming the bulls are healthy, that is.

well for starters, it would be rip in that position, not brewer. And yeah, deng would put the pressure on melo. The only matchup in favor of the knicks in this scenario is amare and boozer because boozer would rather give high fives than play basketball against .500 teams.

So Melo would not outplay Deng. Madness.
Deng is one of the best defending 3s in the league... He doesn't even need to stop Melo, just make sure that he stays inefficient - which Melo is naturally.
Knicks will be a great 2k team though

Just making it to the playoffs and doing alright will be a big accomplishment considering where this team was. The odds are against them versus these better teams but that's what makes it exciting to watch, to see how far they can go and if they can keep doing the improbable. If Lin can win the whole damn thing then it will be linmania for the rest of the year.

It lost that a long time ago.
As a Knicks fan since birth, and as a Brooklyn dude, I can tell you that if Lin managed to not only continue playing well but carry the Knicks to "win the whole damn thing" it won't merely be Linmania, as least not where New York is concerned. We will worship Jeremy Lin like some enlightened God, casting rose petals at his feet and kissing his hand as we build great massive golden statues in his honor. I remember the disappointment when Patrick Ewing's Knicks failed to carry the title during the 90s, New Yorkers would raise Lin so high in honor that we will have weeks of revelry and debauchery until eventually we find a way to elect him President of the USA.

A pleasant fantasy but the Melo and Stat taint will never let that happen.

I'm already tired of hearing about him. Why do sports fans need to go crazy over one guy like he's sent from another world. First it was Tebow and then it was Lin, whose next?

It's the love of the underdog story. I bet it has little to do with sports for most of the people who are suddenly turning in, at least not in the "I love basketball and am suddenly realizing thanks to Lin" form. It's more of a "this guy came out of nowhere and is just doing amazingly well, what a fascinating story."
If he keeps going, the story just keeps getting better and better.
