You're the one who said D'Antoni was benching Lin and losing all those games according to his plan.
He's Tyrus Thomas' trainer.

I don't think so dumbass
Most of the time things get boring between Spurs games. The last 2 pages, up to this point, of this thread, has eased that boredom.
TJ...are you in the lawn care business?...fertilization time is just around the corner. If you could get stuff to grow with the crap your spreading good fortune lies ahead.
Seriously, TJ -- do you consider yourself more of an expert than the gentleman in the center who trains the players to his right and left?
Yes or no.
That's exactly what you said. You didn't realize it and still don't, but that's because you're stupid.
This is some quality stuff here.
No there wasn't, as evidence of Mike D'Antoni HIMSELF saying they played him because their team was so bad and he got lucky. His own words. And you're going to try and twist that? Holy you're an idiot

Q: Mike, what happened, obviously you we're hurting, guys missing, why the sudden turn, to Lin, is it something you had been contemplating? Is it something you guys as coaches had been talking about, or was it something that just came to ya?
Mike D'Antoni: Well, in total it was a combination of everything, a lot of luck is involved, uhh.. we knew that the point guard position, uh, the guys manning the position, Iman Shumpert, Toney Douglas, you know they're not point guards, we needed.. something there, we were waiting for Baron to get back as the salvation but he was pushed back, and we weren't getting the job done.. we had Jeremy Lin, somebody we kinda liked, we we're intrigued by, that's why we picked him up, but since he came to us only a month ago, he probably only had 1 practice where I'm pushin Toney, Iman, Mike Bibby to see if we can get something out of him. Well as time went along and we still weren't getting the job done, and Jeremy's contract was coming up in 10 days, we as coaches said well we gotta give Jeremy a shot let's try we have no idea if its gonna work. We tried him a couple games, and you could see something there, but it wasn't defenite, and then we threw him in, I think it was New Jersey, he just took off.
Lin had 1 practice with the team in total before getting his chance. This was probably so he could at least learn the basics of the D'Antoni playbook. That should explain why he didn't play immediately to you clowns. He might have been plan B (to Baron Davis) but from D'Antoni's comments they were very high on him all along and weren't going to let him go without giving him an opportunity first. I don't know about y'all but that sounds like a plan was in place to me.
Keep digging, fellas. You might make it to the other side of the world someday.
You should read the rest of the quote: "We still weren't getting the job done.. Lin's contract is up, let's give him a chance.. no idea if it's going to work.. wasn't definite..."http://newyork.cbslocal.com/?podcast...g=&dcid=CBS.NY

Please answer the question.Seriously, TJ -- do you consider yourself more of an expert than the gentleman in the center who trains the players to his right and left?
Yes or no.
I proved my case beyond a reasonable doubt, that a plan of destiny was in place for Lin to get a shot at the starting point guard gig. His skills as a point guard fit too perfectly into D'Antoni system to be just mere coincidence... it had to be a calculated move by the knicks.
If you disagree, I don't care. I'll sleep well tonight.
All you proved was that your reading comprehension sucks, tbh.
D'Antoni deliberately injured Davis and Shumpert.
It was all part of the plan.
Uh, no. People here are claiming that Lin just magically fell into the knicks lap for no reason at all and it was just pure luck that D'Antoni decided to give him some run. Well, D'Antoni said there was an element of luck, yes but also said it was a combination of other things. Lin didn't just magically fall into their laps, he must have been carefully scouted and selected according to his skillset as a point guard that perfectly fits into D'Antoni's system. D'Antoni all but says Lin was going to get a solid look before he was cut one way or the other.
then how come he didnt flourished at GSW?? same system small ball bull no defense...
Because all the other point guards sucked and/or were injured.
And Lin's minutes varied wildly. By your logic, D'Antoni's "plan of destiny" was to injure him.
You guys still digging huh?
