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.’’

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.

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.

Linsanity!!!!
7 pts, 2 ast - Jeremy Lin in 5 min.
Moja pierwsza noc z Knicksami w sezonie. Jeremy Lin - to jest powod. Ale jak patrze na S5 - to po prostu zart. Nic, trzymam kciuki za moj ukochany zespol, za Cinderella Story oraz za zwyciestwo nad Lakersami i Kobe.
