Linsanity

Recommended Posts

It looks like the NBA has a rising new star. I only wish Michael Jordan could have sign him, the Bobcats need more publicity, not to mention I believe Jeremy Lin will be a great player. Some are comparing Linsanity to Tebowmania.:D This has been a great year for sports.

Except I only expect Linsanity to have a 1 week run... Don't know I would call him a rising star... You have to be way more consistent over a much longer period than 3 games vs sub par talent... plus the reason he got cut was his lack of defense. He also needs to dominate the ball so when Melo and Amare comes back he will regress statistically. He reminds me move of like a Dragic... a Pg who can come off the bench and give you some good energy while your starters are down.

I remember my freshman year when Lin and his Harvard team came up to Boone and lost by 22 in a game where he was a complete non-factor. Needless to say, I don't buy the hype, and I believe the only reason he is being hyped right now is because he is playing in New York, and we all know how biased ESPN is towards their coverage of major market teams, no matter how good or bad they are.

Man, imagine the Knicks once they get all their guys back. A starting line-up with Stoudemire, Anthony, Lin, and Chandler!?! One more player, and they will have the NBA's first fab five.:D (Haha, lets see if they can overcome the Heat to be the best team in the east)

    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
