The headline was extremely offensive and that employee deserved to get fired.

Worst game of Lin's NBA career so far. He couldn't even dribble without turning it over. Chalmers & LeBron are great defenders.

Btw, Lin desperately needs this all-star break. Good thing he turned down Letterman and other shows.

I kinda feel crap for him... his expectations have been set soo high, and so many people are riding his back that any slip up is only gonna be magnified...

My main concern for the knicks is that Melo + Amare don't get the ball much, and their skills regress... Lin really needs to adopt the role of "catcher" for the team, and really manage his staff really well.

To the game, it was unbelievable how well Chalmers and Cole got under his skin. I knew they were decent defenders, but man, they looked like Marion stealing the ball and then dunking.

Before Lin, Amare wasn't getting the ball and Melo was getting it too much and yet they were still losing.

Strong game for Lin in the comeback win over the Cavs: 19 points, 13 assists, 4 rebounds, just one turnover.

Most impressing fact for me, considering that he dished out quite an amount of passes in his 33 min of playing.

This is a sign of stupidity to come. People will target and blame Lin over two of the most paid players in the NBA. They don't seem to realize it's not Lin that's gotta carry the most load in the long run but will need Melo and Amare to finally come together in order to do anything in the playoffs.

But at least at the same time, he's getting the credits deserved for Knicks' strong showings these days. Lin and Chandler have been the biggest factors during this stretch, no doubt. And Novak's been more than impressive as well, who also flies under most peoples' radar.

Will not happen. If they work no miracle they'll never beat Bulls, Heat or Thunder in 7 a game series...

They are playing top 5 defense and could have as many as four all-star caliber players on their team. I don't think they'll make it too far but I wouldn't count them out.

The Knicks failing to win the championship or even get out of the first round won't change the fact that Jeremy Lin has done some impressive things and appears to have a bright future in the league. The only thing it will prove is that Lin and the Knicks aren't at the level they need to be at yet, it doesn't mean they don't deserve credit for the good things they have actually done and will potentially do before the season is over.
