Is it true Isaiah Thomas was boo'd out of the garden, they know its not the same guy right?

On the pregame show, Alan Hahn said JR Smith could sign with the Knicks soon for a scoring punch off the bench. Apparently, they can offer over $2 million. He's spoken with the Lakers and Mike Brown this week, though.

Also, apparently the league is looking to add Lin to the All-Star festivities in the competition involving an NBA player, a WNBA player, a TNT analyst and whatever else.

LOL, Knicks fans are awesome.

Kings notes: Knicks fans boo Isaiah Thomas because of his name

NEW YORK – By virtue of his name, Isaiah Thomas was the most jeered player Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.

The Kings' rookie guard shares the same name as the former New York Knicks coach and general manager Isiah Thomas, though they are no relation.

The latter Thomas is a former Detroit Pistons point guard and Hall of Fame member who Knicks fans remember as the man behind a lot of losing from December 2003 through April 2008.

"I knew that was going to happen," the Kings' Thomas said. "I was in prep school (in Connecticut) when Isiah Thomas was here, so I used to come to all the games and hear them talk about 'Fire Isiah.' So I knew something was going to happen."

What Thomas didn't expect was how long the jeers would last. Toward the end of the Kings' 100-85 loss, fans still booed loudly when Thomas scored late while the Knicks were comfortably ahead.

"I knew they were going to boo at least once, I didn't think they were going to boo the whole time," Thomas said. "Spike Lee told me, 'Next time you come to New York, just change your name before you come.' "

Only logical explanation (Don't tell Mayweather):

I love what Clyde said about Cousins..."the type of player that will get a lot of coaches fired....plays like he's 6'4".

Carmelo said all the right things on Mike Francesca's show yesterday. Can't wait to see he & Lin together. How do you cats feel about J.R. Smith?

Shumpert will be in the slam dunk competition with Lin assisting.

 

[Chrispy]

A league source on Thursday confirmed a New York Daily News report that the NBA will make Lin part of the field for the Haier Shooting Stars competition during All-Star Saturday night. That would enable Lin to join Shumpert's dunk routine as well. NBA commissioner David Stern told USA Today earlier this week that Lin will not be a special late addition to the annual Rising Stars game featuring rookies and second-year players at All-Star Weekend.

Ended up 13 and 6 TO.

Brought it up from 1.3 to 1.8.

Lin was on WFAN and said he doesn't understand the talk of Melo being selfish. Said it was Melo who vouched for him to D'Antoni to get playing time.

Fisola says they're working on a deal with Smith, but they need to cut a player from the roster. Jerome James? Balkman? Don't see them cutting Douglas or Davis.

 

[ralaw]

JR Smith in NY could be good, but it could also be horribly bad. People are getting nervous about Melo' taking shots......wait until they see JR Smith. LOL....at least Melo is an elite and proven player. I've always liked JR Smith, but IMO he really sells himself short due to his attitude and desire to simply be a 3-point shooter. He has so much more ability.

 

[DJ Rhude]

Lins knows he has to get the turnovers down, and he also knows he'll have to pull back on the amount of FG attempts....I like that he recognizes the weak points and I have confidence he will correct them

It's funny, we have to keep D'Antoni now because I doubt another coach will get this type of production out of him....Lin wasn't cut twice by accident, he was in systems that wasn't condusive to his talents

I've been harsh on D'Antoni and while he'll never be a fav coach of mine, I will throw him a bouquet and say:

Anyone notice how poorly Raymond Felton's been playing?
