    Anyone remember Bo Hart? He was a baseball version of Lin.

    On Tosh.0 last night, Daniel Tosh said the following:

    What's the difference between Tim Tebow and Jeremy Lin?



    Jeremy Lin is probably a pretty good QB.

    I didn't see the game but those are definitely bad numbers for Melo.

    If I were the Knicks, I'd give the team the rest of the year to develop some chemistry and hope for the best. If it doesn't work out, then try to deal Melo in the offseason.

    Knicks/Heat tonight

    Should be a good one.

    Call me racist if you want, but I'm serving sushi and egg rolls at my NYK get together tonight.

    I would serve Sapporo but it's f'in nasty.

    Go Knicks!

    I'm no Knicks fan, I really don't care for any team, but the obvious is that getting rid of melo would be addition by subtraction.

    I don't know about that. You can't just give up one of the top 20 players in the NBA. They've only played a game or two together. Melo is still rusty. I say give them some time to jel.

    I'm a Knicks fan. I've waited 13 years....I can wait 10 more games.

    I agree that you have to at least let the season play out.

    I'm not a Knicks "fan" but will be pulling for them tonight. I'm not anti-Heat like everyone else but in this case will be pulling for the Knicks to win and be relevant again. It could make the East playoffs even more interesting (Bulls/Heat at the top and Knicks/Celtics at the bottom for potential matchups).

    I like a lot of NBA teams and will probably root for the Clippers & Rockets in the West come playoff time. In the East, I could potentially pull for the Knicks.

    I hate to say it, but I'm thinking the Knicks get trounced tonight.

    Well, that was ugly. Lin and the Knicks love the pick and roll. The speed the Miami Heat defense generated coming off those rolls, looked like it had shocked Lin into the helpless fetal position.

    The Heat look like a fire breathing something I've never seen the likes of. Let's see who beats this team 4 times, come playoff season.

    Yeah, the Heat looked good...especially defensively. They made a statement last night.

    The Knicks looked their best when Lin was on the bench and Baron Davis was running the point. I don't mean that as a slight toward Jeremy Lin (I love the guy), but it seems like the Heat game plan was to eat Lin alive. When he was out of the game at the end of the first and through half of the 2nd quarter, the Heat's gameplan went out of the window and the Knicks held the lead. As soon as Lin was put back in, they ate his ass up again.
