Lin: 9 Deron: 32

PickWinnerAllDay · 02-20-12, 09:25 PM

All this hype for Lin and he isn't even a top 10 PG. It is crazy.

jjgold · 02-20-12, 09:26 PM

He lit him up

DemoralizdDreamr · 02-20-12, 09:26 PM

You know what pissed me off. Yesterday Dirk had a four point play and the commentartors were like "dont leave him open". Lin makes a layup, "What a miracolous shot made by Lin. This guy is unbelievable!! Did u see how great that open layup was?"

That shits annoying.

Cuse0323 · 02-20-12, 09:26 PM

Yet, it won't be Lin's fault. It will all be on Melo. Can't wait.

It's because he came out of nowhere.....a journeyman Asian from Harvard to a NY star

WvGambler · 02-20-12, 09:29 PM

You guys are morons sometimes. I guess Lin has to be the top scorer in every game he ever plays now, in order to be legit.

DemoralizdDreamr · 02-20-12, 09:29 PM

All right hes got 11. Lets put it on the headlines.

To be a super star, you should be in the top half at your position, shouldn't you?

YorkHunt · 02-20-12, 09:30 PM

Most of derons Points came against Davis. Lins actually playing well it's the other knicks

MoneyLineDawg · 02-20-12, 09:31 PM

Deron Williams has been a top 7-8 player in the NBA for a while now.....gimme a break

He's been playing for like 8 games in his career......

DemoralizdDreamr · 02-20-12, 09:33 PM

I love lin and the work he has done just not the hype media is giving to him when there are other players who come from tough lives and longer journeys to have similar success. Also Deron is having a career game, not everyday thing.

MoneyLineDawg · 02-20-12, 09:34 PM

Media overhypes everyone and everything.....that is their fukkin job.....learn to brush it off and see through all the media BS

Don't take it out on Lin.....he has been awesome for coming out of absolutely nowhere

NYSportsGuy210 · 02-20-12, 09:34 PM

I think Deron just set the record for the most three point shot made in the history of Madison Squure Garden by an opponent.

LOL, definitely agree... a black kid coming from a broken family, abusive drunk parents, ending up a super star is a much better story than some rich asian born with a spoon in his mouth.... but the media likes what the media likes.

Fukkin stupid.....what black player went from cut twice.....to d-league....to 12th man on the bench......to out of nowhere averaging 25 pts a game

It's not just because of his race

KingJD31 · 02-20-12, 09:41 PM

Michael Jordan was cut from his high school team. There are other stories out there as well. Hell, a first round draft pick in the NFL a few years back didn't receive any scholarship offers and had to walk on somewhere.

Shit like this happens more often than you think.

jjgold · 02-20-12, 09:43 PM

He is playing OK..Knicks playing bad and Nets playing Well

Williams having career game

What black player went from barely hanging on to NBA rosters to what Lin is doing now??

It doesn't fukkin happen a lot at all

Gimmie a break, you can't even name one player

Michael Jordan cut from high school team is not comparable

visualrealism · 02-20-12, 09:46 PM

Yeah but no none of those guys are making any impact. Lin made an impact off the bench.

NYSportsGuy210 · 02-20-12, 09:47 PM

Deron Williams with 5 fouls with 7:30 left in the game.

And Amare with a monster stuff! Here come the Knicks.

CJ Watson was cut by the Suns.

Look at CJ Watson's numbers... 22 minutes, 10.4 ppg, 4 assists per game, 1.7 TO per game

Those numbers aren't that much different than what Lin is averaging over 40 minutes per game, except that the turnovers are a lot lower.

If Rose were to fall off the face of the planet due to his back, CJ Watson would post similar numbers to Lin over a full starting role.

But again, he isn't what the media wants.

MoneyLineDawg · 02-20-12, 09:53 PM

CJ Watson?!?! That's all you got??

Give credit where credit is due man......this shit doesn't happen often

jjgold · 02-20-12, 09:54 PM

Anthony plays no defense

Extrapolate Watson's numbers to full time and they'd all be similar to Lin's except much lower TO totals.

KingJD31 · 02-20-12, 09:55 PM

cj watson lolll please stfu

It doesn't work like that.....it's also a player taking a NY team on his shoulders.....leading them to a 7-1 record when they've been struggling

Done arguing, blame the media....not the player

Arty · 02-20-12, 10:06 PM

Lmao at CJ Watson comparison

Lin, came off the bench, and made the Knicks relevant again by playing like an All Star.

Knicks aren't relevant again. 2 home losses last 3 games to Hornets and Nets.
