I just don't know what to think of Orlando this year. They look like the worst team in the league for a week and then they're kicking ass and taking names. I guess that's what happens when you basically live or die by the 3s.

And yes, there's a reason this guy was ignored by NBA talent evaluators for the last two years...he wasn't that good in college against very poor competition. |

There's a great tendency for people to get carried away about runs like this when we really don't know a damn thing yet about what he's made of. |

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/201...n.knicks/index. Very well written. His production is going to go down. He's not going to score 25+ a night. But he's going to be instrumental in getting the team W's, and I bet he does it in an exciting way. He seems to be a really smart player. I think yesterday was a prime example of an understanding that if you're going to cut his lanes, he's going to be a distributor. If you're not going to respect him, he's going to slash on you. His usage rate will depend on how teams play him. Quote:
I don't think that's necessarily a credit to Lin being great. I think it shows that the Knicks were missing an enormous piece to this puzzle and it really hurt their players. But also... from a leadership standpoint in how his teammates respond to him, and the way he diagnosis a play... it's something he has in droves that many PGs do not. In terms of using the pick and roll, he has been absolutely outstanding, and that's not an easy thing to do. Quote:
His ability to slash is very legit. More impressive than anything is his smarts in how he uses his body and angles to get a makeable short range shot. He's going to be dangerous as a slasher even if you cut off his lanes. And if you cut off his lanes, we saw yesterday, you are leaving Stoudemire and Chandler wide open. So yes, I think his ability to slash into the lane is going to make him a matchup nightmare. Quote:

It's really hard to understand why this guy bothered writing the article when the next seven games could completely change everything about his percentages (and therefore everything he thinks he knows about Lin's production). I would agree that he has the skills to be a legitimate NBA guard, but looking at the stats right now for some kind of real meaning is a pointless exercise. Quote:
Also...single games don't prove things about players. Entire seasons of production do. Quote:

Just when I forget about his bullshit and enjoy watching him play he feeds us another attention whore story. If I'm a Cleveland fan "**** you! Stay away!" If I'm a Miami fan "Why the hell are you talking about this in the middle of the season?" Me, me, me He's more concerned with everyone liking him now all in the sudden? I think it's too late. It's a good thing they have D Wade to lead this team. |

Adrian Wojnarowski, who usually has a pretty good read on things... with an article that'll get people buzzing. LeBron's comments were for a reason. He says LeBron is laying the groundwork to possibly opt out of his Miami contract and return to Cleveland after the 2013-2014 season. His sources say LeBron has floated the idea to Dan Gilbert through a third party... but Gilbert hasn't responded to him. |

Dirk moved into the NBA’s all-time top 10 for most points scored for one team. He just passed Dominique Wilkins (23,292 points). Dirk now has 23,294 career points with the Mavericks. He joins an illustrious list of NBA players in terms of scoring dominance for one team. Dirk is now behind K. Malone, M. Jordan, K. Bryant, H. Olajuwon, J. Havlicek, R. Miller, J. West, K. Abdul-Jabbar and P. Ewing on the list.
