Lin to the rescue in TWC/MSG war?

I know this sounds crazy, but the Knicks have a worse overall record with Melo. The Nuggets have a better record without him. How does that make sense? Here’s how: Melo is a ballhog who doesn’t know how to do anything else than score. While that is a something every team needs, Melo is not worth his max deal he received from the Knicks.   Could...

New York Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni said he is not expecting forward Carmelo Anthony to return to the lineup by Tuesday. While not ruling Anthony out, D'Antoni called Anthony's return a long shot after he suffered a strained right groin against Utah last Monday. At the time of the injury, the team said Anthony would be sidelined for one to two weeks. New York has won...

Carmelo Anthony has yet to prove that he can successfully co-exist with Amar’e Stoudemire. Now, Melo has to prove he can co-exist with Jeremy Lin.

The full NBA All-Star Game rosters were announced Thursday night, with the reserves for each squad being revealed on TNT.Though the rosters included proven veterans who have previously cemented their legacies (like Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash), as well as up and coming first-timers (such as Luol Deng, Andre Iguodala, and Marc Gasol), Carmelo Anthony remained the only Knicks representative...

This Jeremy Lin has been has been doing some pretty crazy things, wouldn’t you say? So crazy, in fact, that he’s driven two GMs to do the unthinkable — admit a mistake. If you’re behind on “Linsanity,” a recap: Lin, the undrafted, twice-released point guard out of Harvard, who has been in and out of the D-League in his two professional seasons...

After the season the New York Knicks have been having, the emergence of Jeremy Lin couldn’t have come at a better time. Both Carmelo Anthony and Amare’ Stoudemire are out with injuries and the Knicks were already pretty far back in the standings even when those two were in the lineup but Lin is showing how important a good point guard is to Mike D’Antoni’s offense. Having...

Linsanity continued Friday night against the lakers with 38 points, 7 assists, 5 boards and a 4th win. At this point you have to be impressed. The defining moment of the night for me has to be the Tyson Chandler rebound and outlet pass to Lin who sank a three while Chandler held his hands in the “3″ position before the shot even went up. His teammates believe in him....

Following up on a few stories I covered in Working the Wire this week: Jeremy Lin continues to impress, even without Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony in the lineup. But he's facing a major upgrade in competition tonight when the Lakers visit Madison Square Garden. I still think Lin will be a good-to-great fantasy play for the rest of this season; don't be discouraged...
