[Sythe]

Can someone PM me a streaming site to watch the knicks game? Of course time warner has to not have msg

[Cail]

they dont have YES either, right?

[Sythe]

they do but its showing the spurs game :'(

[Cail]

through 3Q, love+pekovic have outrebounded the entire knicks team lol

[Deejay]

Kevin Love went beast mode but POINT DRAGON comes through in the clutch once again.

BAL
LIN'

[Rhinox]

Is Lin Chinese for turnover? Goddamn man. Makes westbrick look like John Stockton.

[Moss]

I like that not missing both free throws in a tie game is "clutch"

also looks like the black mamba rubbed off on him judging by that stat line

[Cail]

shot 33% too. was mostly ridnour on him. occasionally rubio or barea, but was ridnour for the most part

[Cleverness]

Deejay man you are really setting yourself up for the biggest disappointment ever, you know this shit is over when Melo gets back. Don't get drawn into this hype.

[Rhinox]

You know you're in the wrong side of the argument when skip bayless agrees with you.

[Akiyama]

Figured I'd go check the last five games between the two and see how they compared turnover wise, and yeah..

Last 5 games
Lin - 50/97 (52.5 FG%), 3/16 (19 3PT%), 21 Rebounds, 40 assists, 10 steals, 23 turnovers
Westbrick - 55/107 (51 FG%), 4/14 (29% 3PT%), 30 rebounds, 27 assists, 11 steals, 28 turnovers.

Now.. I have zero point in posting that shit as it's useless and only over 5 games, and I'd take Westbrick over Lin even still. Mostly, I just wanted to count up the turnovers and see if Lin really did have more than Westbrick, and he didn't.. but I just found some of the numbers really funny. Westbrook's got a couple of good, talented offensive players on his team he could get assists for, but.. we all know how he can be when it comes to shutting Durant out.

Lin, on the other hand.. has Tyson Chandler, and is still getting about 8 assists a game. So I just found that a bit more interesting.

Again.. Westbrick>Lin, not trying to prove anything about that, found it interesting about assists, and Westbrook, a guy with 3 years worth of NBA experience, still gives the ball away to the other team like it's Christmas.

But yeah, who cares about that

[GRT]

Good dribble-drive guys who have good catch-and-shooters on the perimeter will have a lot of assists. Player/team examples are obvious.

[Akiyama]

Yeah, which the Knicks do not have, Lol

[GRT]

Well, I'd say Steve Novak has been lighting it up ever since he's got someone to pass the ball to him lol

Even Landry Fields has been finding his range now that he's got his feet under him

[Deejay]

Novak has been on fire over this run, and I'd say he's earned a spot in our rotation once the stars get back. Fields has been showing promise but he always does this when melo is out of the lineup. He's been regressing ever since melo came here and now all of a sudden he's found his swag

[Deejay]

Melo has had a front row seat to the Lin show for 5 games now. If that nig doesn't recognize greatness when he sees it then he'll just get booed out of town

I wish the Spurs had kept Novak, but we already had Bonner.
