Asked if this is now Melo’s team again, Woodson said, “It’s everybody’s ballclub. But I want everyone to know that when it comes [crunch] time and I got to get a big shot, I’m going to Melo and Amar’e and guys who have done it. A lot of these guys are young and still trying to figure it out. Those guys have been around the block a number of times and have done it. They’ll be go-to guys coming down the stretch.’’ (…) Woodson takes after his first NBA coach, Knicks legend Red Holzman, with the philosophy rookie types should not have too large a role.
“I remember playing for a great coach in Red Holzman,’’ Woodson said. “He taught me rookies were to sit, listen and learn. He taught me a valuable lesson way back when. I listened and learned a lot as a rookie.’’
Linsanity is officially dead.

As feared, The Melo Effect has spoiled Linsanity. D’Antoni has allowed the offense to revert to Anthony’s liking, where he controlled the flow in San Antonio with 24 shot attempts. Point guard Jeremy Lin did not make an impact as Anthony became chief decision-maker. Anthony’s lack of defensive instincts is also contributing to the losing as the club plays with less spirit on that end. With the trade deadline Thursday, the Knicks don’t need to add another player to their overcrowded rotation, but they could use a chemistry kit for D’Antoni. If the Anthony/Lin combo doesn’t click into victories, owner James Dolan will have to sort out the Lin-Anthony-D’Antoni triangle this summer. Dolan will have to decide whether to seek trade offers for Melo or just get rid of D’Antoni while figuring out if Lin, a free agent, is the starting point guard of the future or a product of D’Antoni’s speedball offense. It has become clear Anthony doesn’t agree with D’Antoni’s system and it’s become clearer D’Antoni is afraid of criticizing Anthony.
Mark Berman z NY Post to stara dziennikarska szmata, ale pisze cos co kazdy fan Knicksow widzi i krwawi serce. Dla mnie Melo jest zbywalny do 15.03, pozostawic zespol bez niego i od razu lepiej. Melo = wrzod.

Lin wciaz daje rade, wczorajszy mecz Knicks najlepszy od dawien dawna, Melo wraca dzisiaj - zobaczymy jak bedzie. Na razie 16-16, 8 miejsce na Wschodzie, ale tylko 4 mecze straty do pozycji numer 3, ktora nam sie nalezy. JR Smith duzo rzuca, czesto niecelnie, ale jest to upgrade nad Walkerem, bez dwoch zdan. Dzisiaj mecz z NJN i okazja aby byc over 50 po raz pierwszy od 12 miesiecy.
A na zdjeciu powyzej piekna grafika dotyczaca cudownych 16 dni lutego.
This is one of the underrated Linsanity subplots — here’s Carmelo Anthony, one of the league’s best scorers and someone who desperately wanted to play in New York2 … only it didn’t go well from Day 1 … only now, he’s been given this mulligan (in every respect) because of Lin’s ascent … only every Knicks fan is terrified that Carmelo is going to screw this up … and by the way, if he messes it up even for one game, they’re going to turn on him faster than women turned on Angelina after she broke up Brad and Jen. Can you remember an NBA star dealing with more pressure from his own fans in the regular season than Melo playing his first MSG/Linsanity game? They will turn on him immediately if he screws it up. Repeat: immediately. But here’s the fun part: Carmelo is really, really good. We saw him rise to the occasion during the 2008 Olympics: Give him good teammates, a great crowd and a little pressure and he will NOT shrink from the moment (…) We also haven’t seen Melo play with a point guard who can get him open jumpers or fast-break layups since he left Denver. So on paper, this partnership should work. But if New Yorkers turn on him and make him feel like it’s a no-win situation from Game 1? He’ll take it personally, he’ll get a little sulky … and this will spiral toward a bad place… (But) I have enough faith in Carmelo’s basketball DNA to say this with complete confidence: He will rise to the occasion. He will. You watch

that’s been one of my favorite things about Linsanity. The Knicks were going to miss the playoffs; even worse, it was genuinely depressing to watch them. Offensively, they looked broken — two ball-stopping forwards, no point guard, no shooters — and their coach was sitting glumly on the sidelines with one of those vacant “please, fire me, I’m not man enough to quit” looks on his face. Their fans were slowly starting to panic about Carmelo’s crappy season, especially with Danilo Gallinari (whom they loved last year) emerging as a star in Denver. If that wasn’t bad enough, anyone who lived in New York couldn’t watch the team because the MSG Network disappeared from their cable systems. There was just a general plague hanging over the team. You could feel it. Especially when you went to the games. Stuck at 8-15 without Carmelo and Amar’e, you could say they were — unequivocally — at the do-or-die portion of their regular season. Then, Lin starts playing at point guard … and within a week, they’re acting like a 15-seed pulling off a March Madness upset (only game after game).

I could watch it over and over again. Linsanity in 3 minutes.
“The Emergence of Jeremy Lin” is a pretty cool video (among thousands) detailing Lin’s improbable journey into the heart of the New York City basketball fans.

Linsanity!!!!!!!! Wow, the dream continues.
You’re in New York, the fashion capital. Change your haircut. Wear some shades. Put down the nerdy Harvard book glasses and put on some black shades. Put on some leather pants. Come to practice with your pants sagging and say, ‘I don’t feel like practicing. Practice? Practice?’ Come to practice with a cigar, lit. Have some swag. Put down that law book.

I’m not going to give him any damn suggestions. He almost got 40 points against us.
