Kawhi Leonard is actually injured

[Leetonidas]

Anyone could find moronic takes from anyone here, we've all said dumb things in the past. I'm sure I could dig out hundreds if not thousands of stupid posts from the JA fanboys club (and I'd have fun doing it) but I really have better things to do all day with my time.

Like bleed out your ass on an online forum about the man in charge of the Spurs playing his players however he feels is necessary?

No... I'm saying that the plan was to cut him from the roster. Pink slip. Waivers. I could dig up quotes from some of their FO guys saying that they would have cut him, if Baron Davis had come back from his injury sooner. But reality doesn't seem to hold any attraction for you.

Besides, you didn't say D'Antoni had A plan. You said he had a carefully crafted plan to jump start the team with Lin. But he says in his own words that isn't true. The only truth here is that D'Antoni thought Lin was going to get cut from the team, and he decided to give him one last shot to prove that he was even worth having on the roster. They were all shocked - D'Antoni, the FO, everybody - when Lin started playing so well.

No... there's a second truth. You have officially moved into first place as the dumbest dumb on ST. It's like arguing with ing Rain Man. If you suddenly quit posting, it would clear up about 60% of the worthless distraction bull here.

Kudos for recognizing Tj's takes. He puts alot of hard work into it.

In the same way, D’Antoni desperately needed someone like Jeremy Lin to show up. This season showed a weakness in D’Antoni’s approach: it needs a good point guard to work. In fairness, the same can be said of most offenses, but it is particularly true in Mike D’Antoni’s. He doesn’t need a Derrick Rose or a Chris Paul, just a guard that can see the floor and make the proper reads off the high pick and roll. There was a reason he turned Chris Duhon into a starting caliber NBA point guard, and Raymond Felton into a borderline All-Star.

Yup you're right GSH. D'Antoni had no plan with Jeremy Lin. Even though his skillset as a point guard fits exactly into the system he runs. Must have been just dumb luck the knicks ever stumbled upon him.

It's safe to say Chicago is going to crush us by 20. No Splitter, no Leonard, and no Manu. No size without the first 2. Game over.

So, while Jeremy Lin has certainly made Mike D’Antoni’s system work, his system has no doubt made Jeremy Lin look a whole better than he would in any other system. This should be a reminder for all Knicks fans out there that somehow forgot what their head coach’s offense can do with a decent playmaker. D’Antoni does know what he is doing, and it goes far beyond the seven seconds or less fast break stuff people remember from Phoenix. His offense spreads the floor and creates more space and ball movement, leading to open looks moreso than any other system. All he needs are skilled and willing passers that are able to take advantage of those opportunities. With Jeremy Lin, he has that and it has infected the rest of the roster.

Nope, D'Antoni had no plan at all when the knicks acquired Lin. Isn't that right, GSH?

Quit pretending Mr. Pringles is a basketball genius of a coach. If he knew Lin was going to perform like he did, then why did he wait so long to start him??

For all the Pop haters. Give Pop D'Antoni's roster and tell me pop wouldn't contend for an NBA le.

The New York Knicks claimed Lin off waivers on December 27 to be a backup behind Toney Douglas and Mike Bibby after an injury to guard Iman Shumpert; recently-signed guard Baron Davis was also injured and weeks away from playing.[57][95][102] Lin becomes a restricted free agent at the end of the season.[103] Lin said he was "competing for a backup spot, and people see me as the 12th to 15th guy on the roster. It's a numbers game."[47] As the Knicks' third-string point guard, he made his season debut on the road against the Warriors, where he was warmly cheered in his return to Oracle Arena.[104] On January 17, 2012, Lin was assigned to the Erie BayHawks of the D-League.[105] On January 20, he had a triple-double with 28 points, 11 rebounds, and 12 assists in the BayHawks' 122–113 victory over the Maine Red Claws.[106] Lin was recalled by the Knicks three days later.[107]
On January 28, Davis suffered a setback that postponed his Knicks debut.[108][103] Then New York considered releasing Lin before his contract became guaranteed on February 10 so they could sign a new player. However, after the Knicks squandered a fourth quarter lead in a February 3 loss to the Boston Celtics, coach Mike D'Antoni decided to give Lin a chance to play due to "desperation", according to experts. "He got lucky because we were playing so bad," said D'Antoni.[109][108] Lin had played only 55 minutes through the Knicks' first 23 games, but he would unexpectedly lead a turnaround of an 8–15 team that had lost 11 of its last 13 games.

I bolded and made the font bigger so hopefully your peanut brain can realize just how wrong you are. If not, continue digging your hole.

I wonder if Pop will still be coach when the games resume after this weekend? I'm sure that "Calfgate" will make Holt strongly reconsider the sanity of his head coach, and more importantly, the health of his players' calves. This controversy on ST is clearly a PR disaster that can't be swept under the rug.

lol "experts"

[benefactor]

I usually gloss over TJastal's takes, but this has been quite an entertaining amount of fail. Props to TJ for getting into the All-Star spirit.

[TJastal]

Fact remains that there is a reason the knicks went out and acquired Lin (because he fits well into D'Antoni's system). It does show there was a plan in place which is more than enough to prove my point.

If the knicks had been winning without him obviously he wouldn't have gotten his shot, but with the team struggling D'Antoni pulled out that ace in his sleeve and played it.

[WeNeedLength]

lol "experts"

And what are you exactly?? Show me links to articles you have published or conversations you've had with D'Antoni. Otherwise, could you be so kindly and STFU. You're wrong. The end. Accept it. Move on.

It's more so because Davis was injured and Shrumpert sucked, they had no PG to run their offense. Even D'Antoni said "he just got lucky," how ing stupid and pig-headed can you be?

everyone disagrees with me and I am the laughing stock of ST but it is they who are wrong, i am a genius!

I'm done now. Thanks for the laughs Tjastal.

Just because Lin was never plan A doesn't detract from the fact there was a plan in place for him from the get-go you cucking moron.

OMFG.

You're saying he was just holding Lin back and losing games according to his plan and that he varied Lin's minutes as Pop ddi Leonard's according to this grand plan.

You're kicking your own ass and you don't even realize it.

Yeah, the waiver wire.
