I <i>did</i> get pretty excited about John Starks, actually. If Lin turns out to be that good, I'd be pretty psyched, too. (Whereas I dislike Rondo.)

I get mad at illegible graffiti... I'm waiting on this Laker game to see if Lin is the real deal, though it would take going up against a Nash, Kidd, Paul or Rose to really convince me. Other than that, I'm definitely rooting for someone who can get me interested again in the Knicks despite its organizational shortcomings... what's really insane is the talking heads are acting like this is the first time anyone has come out of nowhere and lit it up like he has. I suppose John Starks doesn't ring a bell, and Rajon Rondo was always a top-tier Celtic, right? They may not have been cut by anybody as much as Lin, but they were certainly not on anyone's minds when they became "Starks" and "Rondo". Boat, you’re not the only one, trust me.

I don't have supreme confidence in his pull-up j, but he has great vision and he passes like nobody's watching. [5] I’m betting on the latter, Ms. Oct.

Forced instead to watch another farce at the Carrier Dome. At least it will be the last one as those rat-traitors scamper off to become an afterthought on Tobacco Road.
