Linsanity

by Photomoney on Feb 11, 2012 10:58 PM CST

Does anyone else find it completely ironic that the one player who is single-handedly reducing the value of one of Houston's draft picks is the same player that Houston cut a few weeks ago? New York is now back in the playoff hunt and I am not looking forward to seeing how the rest of the season plays out with a competent point guard paired up with the rest of their starting lineup.

Not really

NYK lucked out, if Dantoni wasnt forced to play Lin, it would never happen. Like Morey said, no one expected him to be this good and anyone told you otherwise is lying.

I think he’s gonna cool off soon, Rubio bothered him, and the rest of the league are only going to learn from it. He’s still a good player, but he took about 18 shots these games he started. I dont see that happening with Melo and Stat coming back

’Nuff said.

ironic yes

is lin this good? NO…the guy couldn’t beat out flynn…Im sure flynn could have done this in NYK? Dragic too? Fact is if Lin did this for the Bobcats for 10 straight games, people still wouldn’t know who he is…it’s all because of NYK

Thank you

I’ll still be on the bandwagon until the wheels fall off though.

"the guy couldn't beat out flynn"

well it wasn’t quite that simple. Flynn was a high pick and had guarenteed money this season no matter what.

This season the Rockets need to sink or swim. Instead, they are just floating. This is the product of an indecisive GM.

yeah, Flynn is good too, let's trade him for Lin...

who’s Bobcats?

Don't forget about Steve Novak also playing a large role in this winning streak

The irony is thick

Think about it, you took our 1st round pick, it was shaping up to be a lottery, and now thanks to the pg you cut, it’s going to be worth little to nothing. That’s irony if I’ve ever seen it. Oh yea, and you lost out on the most marketable player since Yao. Ming Dynasty is over, Ling Dynasty will take it from here Rocket fan

Ironic absolutely, an unexpected result that New York is winning? No.

I don’t want to jack too much of EveryHoustonTeamRox!‘s response but he’s straight forward accurate. A few weeks ago when asked on this board whether or not the Knicks pick would be a great one, the vast wisdom was “they’re too talented to keep sucking.” That’s proving true. The fact that Lin is doing it is funny but I’m pretty sure as soon as Anthony starts dictating things again his play will drop right off.

ironic?

Ya i guess, he is featured on a teamvthat thrives off pure offense so the point totals (while surprising given the source) are not as indicative as t.o imo
