Knick Fans re Linsanity

[2BNTV]

I don't know if anyone in TV gets the Knick games but Jeremy Lin did it again last night by making a three pointer with .5 seconds on the clock.

They came from 17 points down!!!!!!!

WOW - What a finish to the game.

Linsanity has griped the NBA and the New York media.

[RichieLion]

Linsanity gripped fans in Toronto. It was crazy that fans in Toronto were cheering every time Lin did something good. Then you would hear some booing from the real Toronto fans who were a bit upset by all the Linsanity.

How could a kid fly so far under the radar that no one recognized his talent, and I mean NOBODY. He was pretty close to getting cut by the Knicks.

Now he's being triple-teamed. Can you believe it. He's was bloody again last night because of all the hits he's been taking. Amare and Chandler were the recipients of some good passes when Toronto tried to slow this phenom down.

Then, he calmly dribbles the clock down and with ice water in his veins drains the 3 pointer to win the came in the final second. This is a heck of a Linderalla story. The Knicks can go to Linfinity and beyond with this kid.

[RichieB]

and.........he scored over 20 points again ! Think it was 27......:coolsmiley:

Getting interesting to watch again :popcorn: :beer3:

[2BNTV]

Had a double double game!!!!!!

I think he is just what the Knicks needed, A point guard who will distribute the ball.

Amazing how many ways his name is being used.

Va Lin Tine is another one. :)

[brostholder]

Another amazing game!! I think the last time I said this was 30 years ago, but go Knicks!!!

Do you get MSG in TV? Do you have to pay for it?

Do you have family in the New York area? Are you a snow bird or flake? Even better.

If so, you can watch any New York team over the internet thru their house legally for about $100. I use it to watch JET games Met games and now I'm watching the Knicks and the Rangers. They shut out the Bruins last night and they were out shot 2 to 1! (Actually you can watch any program you want)

If you're interested PM me. Note, I have no profit motivation.

This can be used anywhere in the US. Lot's of people that live all over the globe use this as well.

Speaking of Mr. Lin, it seems that his living arrangements are being "upgraded."

He will be moving from his brother's couch to the Trump Tower in White Plains.

Movin' on up, baby ! Nice upgrade !

Yes, it is a nice upgrade.

If I were him, (Lin), I rather not take my salary but get the money made off the sale of his jersey. I imagine the sale of his jersey in China alone is in the muti millions.

Now were taking mega bucks!!!!!!!!!!!

LinSanity is saving Dolan's bacon.

Crowds have returned to MSG

Absolutely!! I tried order his Jersey thru the knicks but they are sold out.

It's all about putting "fannies in the seats," as George Steinbrenner said.

Dantoni's bacon also. There were rumors of him getting fired before the 6 games won with LinSanity. Now, they are the eighth team in the playoffs assumng they will keep Linning. :)

I heard there was a up-tick in sales. :)

It's a little crazy in New York right now with the Knicks and Linsanity.

And Yogi Berra actually GOT fired when the Yankees started off something like 6-10 in the '85 season.

Sometimes I think the OWNER should be the one who gets fired !

Yes, Steinbrenner got the gold mine and Yogi got the shaft.

As you know, this was the long held grudge that was finally broken with Suzan Waldman breaking the impasse.

Yogi Berra is my favorite Yankee of all time. They make fun of his sayings as he is often quoted, but a smart man.

Agreed on all counts.

Aw, nobody goes to Yankee Stadium any more. It's too crowded. :icon_wink: :)

There were so many ( a whole book of them) it's hard to choose just one.

I have the book and I read it from time to time to get a good laugh.

I am a big fan of his so I rely on my memory a lot. :)

BTW - Knicks vs Mavs, Sunday at 1 PM on ABC for those who can't see the Knicks in TV on MSG or internet.

Carmelo comes back for Thursday nights game.

Yogi is one of the most beloved people on the planet !!

[2BNTV]

Yogi is one of the most beloved people on the planet !!

:agree: A humble man who is a muti-millionaire. His quotes or quotes attributed to him will live forever. Some comedians used to make up jokes that he never said.

A man who would drive the old beat of chevy when there were so many expensive cars in the driveway.

I don't remember anybody attributing a bad thought about him nor did he say anything bad about anyone.

I've been thinking for a while to go down to his museum and hopefully meet him. :)

Here is a true story:

Many years ago, my son called me and asked if I wanted to go Yogi Berra day at Yankee Stadium. I informed him I needed to go to my nephews twins christening as I had to pick-up the cake. I asked why his brother couldn't pick-up the cake and he said it wouldn't arrive in one piece. :)

David Cone pitches a perect game that day and my nephew jokes with me that I will never forgive his twins. :)

I had taken my mom to the cemetery on a Saturday for a visit to my dad's grave. We ran into the funeral director who grew up near my wife, and had arranged my father's funeral. He offered me two tickets to the Yankee game against Minnesota. I declined because we had a family obligation the next day.

David Wells pitched his perfect game.

You and I are spooked.

End of story !

[2BNTV]

I was lucky enough to see Dave Righetti's no-hiiter on July 4th.

I saw Tom Seaver win his 300th game as a member of the Chicago White-Sox. The only time I rooted against the Yankees.

I saw Chad Curtis hit a home run against San Diego in the World series.

Next goal is to see the Giants win a Super Bowl. :)

[RichieB]

Geez !

Next time you go to a game - ANY GAME - buy an extra ticket :icon_wink:

[2BNTV]

I always do but it's for my son. :)

Maybe I'll get real lucky and get to go to a Super Bowl if one is held in Miami or Tampa.

My son lives only a half hour away from the stadium in Miami.

[2BNTV]

LinSanity is still perfect as the Knicks have won seven in a row. Blew away the Kings last night.

They are now at 500 at 15 -15. Friday against the Hornets with Melo back.
We will have to see if they mesh.

I am getting hopeful they will make some noise in the playoffs.

Two weeks ago, the Yogi Berra saying would have applied, "who woulda thunk it".

[coralway]

I believe they play The Mavs Sunday - that will be test.

[2BNTV]

Absolutely!! I tried order his Jersey thru the knicks but they are sold out.

I heard yesterday, Lin's jersey was sold out in China.

That should be a great game. Does anyone know which area sports bars will carry it?

Beef O'Brady's might have it on one of their myriad screens, but it's almost impossible to follow a game there.

I would check with Margarita Republic in Spanish Springs. They have a huge projection TV in the main room, and very large flat screen in the rear room. If they're carrying the game there, that would be a good bet.

That's even better. The snacks and beer are much cheaper at home.

Yeah, when you pay 6 bucks for the beer, you can get a whole 6-pack ! :beer3:

Here's one of the best articles I've read on Lin's amazing rise to NY Knicks icon; by great NY sportswriter Mike Vaccaro.

Believe the hype surrounding Knicks star Jeremy Lin, because it’s for real - NYPOST.com (http://www.nypost.com/p/sports/knicks/believe_the_hype_because_it_for_o7dYhHZlUnsPLZYcmJ qurM?utm_campaign=OutbrainA&utm_source=OutbrainArticlepages&obref=obinsource)

[2BNTV]

Good article. I ddin't see the Lakers game as I was out with friends. 38 points - WOW and outdueling Kobe.

Three or four wins since then. I thought the game against the Raptors was the best as he made the Linning shot with .5 seconds left on the clock.

You already knew that. :icon_wink:

Usually I agree with that, but I think that on Sunday I will go to a sports bar and watch with other Knick fans.......it keeps me from napping after the 2nd beer!!

[2BNTV]

Lin-Sanity has moved to Houston.

[BarryRX]

Lin-Sanity has moved to Houston.
I was a big fan of his before he hurt his knee. But I'm not sure that 3 great weeks of basketball translates to all that money for a player that has not really proven himself yet and still had some trouble with turnovers. I'll miss him as a Knick and wish him success.

[paulandjean]

Defense has been suspect.... Pretty much a back-up player in NBA....

I agree. i enjoyed watching him play and his success, but not worth big NBA dollars at this time.
