This is ridiculous...
…MSG is playing the stupid Knicks game instead of Broons/Rangers, MSG+ is playing the stupid Devils, and NBCSports is playing Ducks and Wild.
first of all, the NBA is trash, college basketball is so much better and the fans are so much more enthusiastic and overall it’s just a better atmosphere, and second, the Knicks are garbage, whereas the Rangers are first in the East and playing extremely well. and I want to see them destroy Bahstan!

He's also
The first American of Chinese descent to play in the NBA and so he had a huge following even before he became a starter. The fact that he’s playing well makes him a huge story certainly bigger than a rangers regular season game. I mean, not for me personally either, but I can see why he is.

NBA always
seems to jump on whoever is doing well and label them as the Next Big Thing. I’ve no doubt this Lin guy is good, but will he be able to be this good once other teams start playing defense against him? Only time will tell. Until then, he will be treated as the second coming of whoever was to basketball as Gretzky was to hockey.
how are teams gonna focus their defensive efforts on him when amar’e and carmelo are on the floor

I don't think anyone thinks he's the second coming or Jordan or anything
He’s a point guard and the Knicks had been sorely lacking a pg. But the big deal about him is the race thing and the fact that because of his race he was mostly overlooked his whole career until now. No scholarship, not drafted etc. if he wasn’t american-Chinese the common wisdom is he would have gotten more of a chance. He’s someone for Asian American basketball players to point to and say “if he can do it, I can do it” and now maybe scouts would actually give those kids a look. he’s broken a race barrier and that’s exciting. Not to mention the fact that he’s gotten to the NBA against all odds and that’s inspiring to anyone.

they don’t take him. Goes to Harvard instead.

why get rid of one of our best players right now AND our best goalie prospect AND a decent defenceman for an overpaid guy scores some goals but can’t play defense worth squat? 2/3 of that list are reasonable (plus a pick) but not all three. That’s insane.

Agreed
I hope GM MG hasn’t lost his mind to pay nearly 8 Mil for Nash. I don’t care how good he is.
Los Angeles, CA
Kind of tangential to this but...
I wonder if Nash’s value will increase if Howson waits until the draft. It’s definitely a seller’s market now but if Nash will only go to a contender, are any of those teams willing to trade what it would take to land him?
Nash has the NTC....
So he has last say in where he goes. I believe he has a $7.8M cap hit, which will make it really tough for a true contender to make the trade.

THAT WAS LINSANEEEEEEEEE
"I remember trying to open presents before Daniel because we always got the same presents. I wanted to have the surprise."
— Henrik Sedin
Leave it to the Raptors to lose in the closing seconds of a game. I wish they’d trade all the veterans and tank the season so they at least have a chance to land a lottery pick. They suck but not enough to get a really good selection in the draft.
for me
that was a prime example of how the NBA manages their game.
Remember, this is a league that had a ref convicted of point shaving just a few years ago. With so many possessions back and forth, its easy for them to affect the game.
I watched because of the story, and good on Lin for making that shot at the end. But he was set up for it in a game ( mainly the fourth quarter ) in which Derozan got hammered in the lane every attempt with no call, while Lin and others just had to get near someone to get the call. Amir Johnson got hit in the head and face with no call, and the same thing at the other end was just not given.
In much the same way the refs gave the Lakers that last game with a five second call, when the guy counting it beside him for the player, the player, and the coach all counted four seconds and called time out…its maddening.
Hype teams get the calls late. Its just the way it is in the NBA, and it makes me not want to watch. I played a bit ( just pick up) but was a big Grizz fan and bought tickets every year they were here. I was not that jaded then, as it was just fun to watch the stars come through.
But that was a great story that was helped along tonight, and it kind of turns me off of the whole “Linsanity” thing. He is a great story. The refs tonight just helped him still be a big story for a longer period. Just “managing” the game, I guess!

The worst part of the NBA is that there seems to be only about 6ish teams in the whole league that have a legitimate shot at winning a title. At least in the NHL if you make the playoffs you have a chance at going all the way even as an 8 seed.
I agree that the reffing in the NBA is probably the worst in any of the professional leagues. Travelling is basically not called especially if they make a sweet dunk. I am kind of a Raptors fan but I can’t remember the last time I actually sat down and watched an NBA game. Probably was Christmas and I only watched because that was the beginning of the season and there’s literally nothing else on Christmas day.
NCAA is always better to watch since the refs actually, for the most part, call the game by the book. Players haven’t yet got their 130 million dollar contracts yet so they actually go out and give it their all every game.
great point
on the college ball.
I try to watch some of the marquee matchups when they roll across the dial, but I don’t look for them.
But I don’t have the patience for the way its called. That game in the 4th made me flip it back to something else a couple times, and once to yell at the screen.
Fuck that, you know? Its just too maddening.

have not watched a complete game in a long while…this one was as close to that, in a while, as possible, and even this one, it was…“fuck, there it is again, how can they not call that” when De Ro would get smacked around.
Hell, the Knicks had their 7 footer on him, with 5 fouls. They must have been pretty sure he was not going to be fouling out to put their centre on the switch on a high flyer like De Ro.
