Heat Burn Knicks

By BrainHeat

Questions:

• With novacaine hot, should D'Antoni have just left him in the game? 
• Melo? How many rejections until you realize you have to draw contact and throw it down?

It was a big moment for Lin. I'm giving him a pass for not surviving the league MVP's onslaught.

LeBron is on fire!

Knicks need rest and practice and they will get it soon. 

They are far from reaching the Eastern Conference finals as of right now, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel. When J.R and Baron start meshing with the rest of the team, the Knicks WILL contend for the title. Right now I have the Knicks  in the #5 spot in the Eastern Rankings. They will be at #3 in Mid March. 

Let's not get crazy too soon. 

They deserve some time with the emergence of Lin and the additions of Smith & Davis.

RAGU RANT!

Ok. From time to time I've been know to rant. Well, this is one of those times. Do you want to know what New York sports talk radio is saying about the Yankees ?...............NOTHING !! 

Kevin Maas - NY Yankees

We're a couple of days away from the opening of spring training and no one is talking about the Yankees. No matter what station I put on their talking about the same two things. Football and basketball ! Correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't football was over February 5th ? Do I really need to hear about the possible off season moves by Jacksonville Jaguars ? Did you hear what I said ? The Jacksonville Jaguars !!! WTF ? This is New York. Come on people !! 

The other story I keep hearing is. Linsanity, Linsanity !! Ok Ok, don't get me wrong I get it. The kid is playing well, the Knicks are playing well. It reminds me of a time in the 1980's when Kevin Maas arrived on the scene with the Yanks. He was hitting bombs over the short porch in right field every other day. It was "Maas Hysteria." I remember banners hanging at the stadium that said " The M+M Boys" and I don't mean Mantle and Maris. I mean Mattingly and Maas. Well we all know how that turned out for Kevin.

 Like I said, Jeremy Lin and the team are playing well. It's a nice story. I hope it lasts for him because you know how some fans can be. The minute he misses some shots, throws a few turnovers and they lose five in a row they'll want to run him out of town faster than their trying to run AJ Burnett out. 

How's that working out ? I've even heard a little talk about the Mets. The Mets ? Do they still have a team ? I'm not saying don't talk about other stuff just give me some Yankee Baseball. All I'm asking for is a few of hours a day that's all. Because in a couple of weeks all I'm going to hear about is March Madness !!

Week End's Commentary - 2/12/2012

Topic 1 – LinSanity Poses Questions

The Knicks were on life support. Melo and Stat weren't meshing, D'Antoni was counting the days and James Dolan was rethinking his contract with Time Warner Cable. Then came Jeremy Lin. The Asian born Harvard Grad that couldn't get arrested, even in China Town. If you are a fan of the Knicks and the NBA in general, it makes you wonder how many players never get a chance. That's a loaded question isn't it! The D-League, Europe, China, Russia. How many players slip through the cracks? What if every coach in the NBA had a directive from the commissioner that the starting 5 sits for a few games and the bench gets a chance? What would happen? If a bench warmer had the opportunity to shoot 25 shots for that stretch, could he be the next Jeremy Lin? Lebron, Wade and other NBA A-listers are given the opportunity to shoot to there hearts content. We can go on all day about this, but it leads to this question...How many teams have a Jeremy Lin and don't know it?

Topic 2 – The NFL Draft & Combine

We are close to the NFL Combine. The NFL Combine is an audition of sorts for players to show there abilities to NFL scouts. The Jets picked Vernon Gholston with the #6 pick in the draft mainly because of his strong showing at the combine. Do you know where I'm going with this? I am waiting on a book, (One may be out already), on how many teams have been duked at the combine. How did Ryan Leaf do there? Harrington? How many players make NFL rosters that were not drafted? I need a stat guy who can help me with this! Are you out there?

Lastly...

To the new bloggers who have joined the 

NFL PRO ZACH team.

Will he do it again?

LINSANITY!

By BrainHeat

In an earlier post, I explained my reasoning for trading Carmelo Anthony straight up for Deron Williams. Although it still may be a possible trade, an unknown until last week has taken center stage.

Jeremy "Grasshopper" Lin has exploded onto the scene. He is putting up solid numbers and invigorated a depleted Knicks roster. D'antoni said, "I'm gonna ride him like Secretariat"! This is the makings of a great story on Broadway. With Stoudemire and Anthony out of the lineup, the Knicks bench is looking like they can climb the Empire State building and bat enemy planes. D'antoni's system maybe realized after all. Before the Melo trade, the Knicks were headed in that direction. They were exciting to watch. It took a dive upon Melo's arrival. D'antoni's system could not be achieved. It's called chemistry. The Knicks may still need to move Melo or Stat to create more chemistry. But it's worth the wait to see if Lin can lead them all to the promised land.

Does the emergence of Jeremy Lin move D'antoni out of the hot seat? 

YES! 

To all Knick fans: 

May the LINSANITY continue!
