Sucks wish I could have watched the game, looked like a good one from my NBA app lol sucks my mavs lost, oh well

Yeah it was a good game. The Mavs actually put up a good fight, I think they are back to being a better flowing team. Dirk had a good game, JK was more active, Marion was making plays (I thought the floater he had in the 3rd, when TC could have obviously blocked it, was funny as hell).

I have to say Lin, he has a good offensive game. I think the only thing lacking is that he is still not confident with himself. He has the skills he just needs to drive past his defenders when he has the opportunity. I like that he passes the ball, and isnt selfish, but when he is heating up and making shots, he needs to take the deccsion to take some of the crucial shots himself. Other than that, if he watches his turnovers, he has got his game down pact.

man wish i could have seen it, supid job lol, ill have to watch the highlights
From what i heard Lin had a pretty good game, hopefully he can keep it up once Melo comes back that will be interesting to see

steve novak pulled out the aaron rodgers championship belt after tossing in 14 pts in the fourth quarter. i nearly spat out my coffee laughing

yeah when Melo comes back it should interesting to see how they share the floor. I think it should be kind of like a Wade-Lebron set up (not to compare Lin and Melo to Wade and Lebron as players) but I think they may implement the same strategy Erik Spoelstra did with the Heat. Its only right when two skilled players have to play the same minutes on the floor.

If Melo and lin can complement each other that will be a great combination and they play different games so I think they will be better together than Wade and James, not talent wise, just complement each other, plus with JR waiting for a kick back, the Knicks should make noise in the playoffs. Hopefully they met the heat in the East Finals that should be a awesome series

Yeah compliment in the sense, they share the ball, set up plays so they can both shoot, Lin can optimize his quickness, and Anthony can drop the jumpers. And yes, utilize JR Smith. With LB and Wade they compliment each other in the sense that they have offensive awareness. (somehting that Lin seems to have as well) so they can always find each other, even if its on opposite sides of the court, like the game against Magic, where LB threw the half court lob to Wade for the alley. I think their game is just on a diff caliber, just much more exciting to watch, and most of all they have fun with it.

As for the East playoffs, the Knicks are 3rd in the Atlatic division, so with Melo back, they need to win a couple more games to secure themselves in the playoffs. Where as Miami has the best record in the league now, surpassing the Bulls.

Looks like we are set for the All Star Game:

Looks like Oklahoma and Miami are tied. Should be an interesting game when they meet, for now though we got Knicks.

Any takers?

Bulls hammered another team its great to have rose back. Plus Noah had a triple double!
