    Who will be tailing the Linsanity tomorrow?

    I think he is garbage, but I honestly might make a bet on the Knicks pending the line just because I could see them getting a ton of favorable calls to build this story up in a prime time spot. Another loss would kill the Lin story for now and then what will ESPN talk about for 55 minutes of sportscenter?!

    Lin is not garbage.....overrated, maybe (I don't think so but I could see how some people do)....garbage, not even close

    But I'm riding the Knicks, I love this spot tomorrow

    When the most impressive win in the stretch is a Lakers team that is very bad on the road... you have to wonder.

    I think the turnovers would be even more out of control had the Knicks' schedule not been so favorable.

    Not garbage, garbage don't average 25 ppg. He just needs to settle down, and take care of the ball.

    No play, unless the Mavericks are underdogs, then I will hit their ML.

    Good luck.

    He is not bad but needs to change his role now he has STAT back.

    No need for him to score 25. Turnovers are killer though, they were overlooked somewhat when he was getting the wins but he commits way too many

    I guess with this logic westbrook is garbage, too. Lin is overrated but he is still a good player.

    not bad defense.

    he plays defense like AI.

    picks up some steals and some blocks. relies on help for covering his man.

    More point and turnovers in his first several starts.

    Goddamit guys, this guy makes Allen Iverson look like a good teammate.

    Garbage? Do you watch basketball?

    Guy's game isn't perfect but he's getting THE FIRST NBA STARTS OF HIS LIFE. For someone with zero experience, he's playing mostly incredible. The turnovers will lessen over time -- the main thing to look at is two things: Does he make his teammates better? YES. Are they winning games? YES. "Garbage" is a retarded thing to say.

    i hope u r taking into account that he came off the scrap heap, into D-League, off the bench and started to drop double doubles and leading a horrible knicks team to a 6-1 record. no practice time, i bet he didnt even know all of the plays. how many first round picks are even starting nevertheless doing what lin has been doing?
