Jeremy Lin Saves New York; Kyrie Irving Is The Truth

Kevin Love

Forget Steve Nash and Baron Davis. Jeremy Lin is taking over NYC. The Knicks survived New Jersey 99-92, and it was their popular bench warmer who had the city juiced. Deron Williams (21 points, 11 assists), the former best point guard in the world, was getting worked over by Lin (25 points, five rebounds, seven assists) down the stretch. Jumpers. Pick-n-rolls Everything was out of wack for New York. Carmelo (3-for-15) couldn’t make a shot, and Amar’e Stoudemire wasn’t much better, but Lin was pulling out reverses, and after a three-point play, Tyson Chandler was doing the Brandy Reed celebration from back in the day … The Sixers turned in another one of those weird box scores they’ve become famous for in their 11-point win over the Hawks. Six players scored in double figures for Philly, with four of them (the only guys who got in who weren’t starting) coming off the bench … “Kevin Love has really gotten it going since he stepped on Luis Scola‘s face…” Huh? We missed part of Minnesota’s win over Houston, but we DID hear that. Apparently the refs missed it too. But Scola being a good soldier didn’t wild out like Nicky in Casino, and a confrontation was avoided. Surprising, because they nearly came to blows the last time these teams met. But it fired Love up. He went for 25 and 18 in the win. Dirty? Like drug money … We’ve given up trying to figure out the Magic. A week ago they couldn’t make a shot. Now, after a night of being shut out of hotels in Indy because of some football game, Orlando came into Indiana and followed Dwight Howard (27 points) to a four-point win over the Pacers … Derrick Rose dominated his matchup with Brandon Jennings (eight points, five assists) in the Bulls’ 113-90 win, going for 26 points and 13 dimes … In the matchup that nobody cared about, Greg Monroe (24 points, 16 rebounds) laid down the gauntlet in Detroit’s two-point win over the Hornets … The Lakers didn’t get into Utah until four in the morning before their 96-87 loss to the Jazz, and it showed. Kobe Bryant, Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol combined for 71 of the team’s points, and while you can chalk that up not to rest but rather to “the rest of this team sucks,” what you can say was that Utah’s bench destroyed the Lakers. Earl Watson (11 helpers) was a difference on one leg, C.J. Miles caught an arena-shaking oop and three forwards off the pine scored in double figures (Josh Howard, Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter). The close game unraveled in the fourth with Mike Brown getting tossed and the Lakers running out of fumes … The Nuggets could’ve at least attempted to check Nicolas Batum. Instead, they let him score 33 points and stroke nine triples off the bench in Portland’s easy 117-97 win. The Blazers closed the door in the third when they turned to Gerald Wallace as their de-facto point. Wallace went coast-to-coast on two straight possessions, first finding Aldridge (29 points) for a dunk and then Batum for a three to drive the knife into Denver’s chest … The Blazer fans also got it right by booing the swag out of Rudy Fernandez. He proceeded to brick nearly every J he took … Keep reading to hear about Kyrie Irving hitting another huge shot …

    and beiber you’re the kid in the playground dying for acceptance. If you weren’t you’d have shut up by now confident that your arguments spoke for themselves.

    Take a chill pill.

  • EN FUEGO

    Hahaha. Damn. Really?

    Oh hell no, no, no, beiber. Do YOU know who you are?

    Badly accepted? Outcast? Pretend?

    You don’t even have the cred to use those words, much less call anybody with anything close to that shit.

  • http://datpiff.com beiber newz

    do they sell them at CVS?

  • http://datpiff.com beiber newz

    hahahahaha you know what i just noticed?

    en fuego talks about ME more than he comes here to talk basketball.
    HOW FUCKING CREEPY IS THAT?!

    i’ve just gotten so used to his stupid corny jokes that i didn’t realize he always has me in his comments. every one of them.

    that’s so hoe-ish.

    wow. RESTRAINING ORDER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • EN FUEGO

    soooooo glad you mentioned that

    correction: I shit about you, not talk about you.

    Notice how beiber is sooo good at pointing out things like “dying for acceptance”, “corny”, “restraining order”, “dumb/talk nonsense” and has the nerve to accuse others of this when he himself is all that those rolled into one?

    - you accuse BI of “dying for acceptance”. so how come nobody likes you and everybody hates you?

    - you say UA talks nonsense because he has an opinion about Griffin. all i read was him merely pointing out there are others who are more complete & skillful PFs than Blake that deserve and earned it more.
    Then you scream, cry, whine and moan about something that wasn’t even said in the first place.

    - you keep saying “corny” but you use the term “island man” which is lame in itself and keep using it throughout the day. repetitive corny is as worse as it gets.

    - you call out “RESTRAINING ORDER” when it’s Dimemag and their readers who truly needs one from the likes of a self-proclaimed virus and Know-nothing-Know-it-all idiot called “Beiber Newz”.

  • http://datpiff.com beiber newz

    THERE HE GOES AGAIN !!!!

    restraining order !!!

  • EN FUEGO

    You claim to want to “talk basketball” but you don’t really want to. All you want is what you want to talk about. You don’t listen. You don’t discuss. You tell them to check their facts. But if and when they do. You become as visible as Melo’s defense.

    You love butting in about everything, so I butt back – with shit. Hahaha.

    And if you truly wanted to talk basketball and be “real”, then let’s see you explain those Knicks.

  • http://datpiff.com beiber newz

    i remember saying if the giants win the superbowl, that salty feeling i had from the L the knicks took from the boston celtics would dissipate. well, yea…it’s gone.

  • http://datpiff.com beiber newz

    i didnt mean nuthin by that , it was meant as a harmless joke. i aint know what else to say

  • http://datpiff.com beiber newz

    i don’t think u wuld actually ever have the chance/opportunity to say it in his face. it was really just a dumb joke. shuda added the smiley face afta it, huh

  • Big Island

    Beib, you’re good peeps, but you’ve lost it. You’re mad that I had a conversation about A with a guy, but didn’t fight with him about B? That is a psycho bitch move. Not bitch like punk, bitch like that crazy ass asian chick I banged a few years back even when I knew I shouldn’t have done it. It’s all good, but do me a favor and lose my number.

  • http://datpiff.com beiber newz

    actually the only reason i said anything about it, was that you always seem to pin point every little thing wrong with me and your first time addressing me today was saying something like “beib’s mad” ? it was weird, so i thought i’d call u out. no 1 likes being called out especially when they feel deep down inside the thing they being called out for is semi true. so im not shocked u reacted the way you did. it was just missed-bullets to me.

  • Big Island

    Or, and let me know what you think about this, I said you were mad because of post #26. The one where you used all caps and exclamation points. You know, LIKE YOU WERE MAD!!!!!!!

    Look, it’s all good. Do your thing. Handle your beefs. Solve the conspiracies. All of that. I’ve got a house full of women making fucking necklaces, I have bigger issues here dude.

  • http://datpiff.com beiber newz

    you should look up the word condescending…

  • Jcash

    @beiber newz
    honestly you should just stfu, stop crying for sympathy,you would think after 76 comments and no one backing your ass up you would take a hint everyone thinks youre retarded. Damn, thus must be like the 5th time you shitted all over the comments section.

  • EN FUEGO

    HAHAHAHAHA. Psycho Bitch

    Looks like you need to wear a Straight Jacket more than a restraining o, beiber nutz. Hahahaha
