bleacher report...

The sports website can be interesting at times, but it's not a reliable source of sports news.  Many of the contributors don't know what the fuck they're talking about!!

This fat fuck contributor and I won't even bother to remember his name thinks Baron Davis will start when he returns.   Let's make that if Baron returns.  Baron has always had a conditioning problem.  He can get in shape, but his desire to be around the Hollywood crowd and now probably the Manhattan elite makes him soft.   He has in his past showed up for a game reeking of alcohol.  Golden State 2008.

Baron, at the very best at this point in his career, he's a backup.  If Baron can play about 15 minutes a game giving Lin some rest, than he'll be valuable to the Knicks.   We'll just have to wait and see...

And this point is really getting ridiculous- whether Melo can play with Lin.  Anthony is the one who suggested to D'Antoni that he should give Jeremy a shot.

This is back at the Cuse, but Carmelo won a NCAA Championship with a limited point guard named Gerry McNamara.   Jeremy is way better than McNamara would ever dream to be.  The point is Anthony was a winner and can still be a winner in the NBA.

Lin doesn't need to score 20 points a game.  If that is what the defense is giving him, we all know he's capable.  But, it's more crucial that he distributes and gets all his teammates involved in the flow of the game.

He's not a perfect player, but who in the NBA is?  No one.  Jeremy needs to cut down on his turnovers.  He said he'll study film.  His defense isn't great, but it's improving.  He'll work on his jumper and he's better driving to the left than most so-called experts think.

The bottom line is Lin is a worker and has the smarts to realize there's always room for improvement.
