Jeremy Lin leads Rockets to victory over the Knicks

Jeremy Lin returned to Madison Square Garden on Monday for the Houston Rockets vs New York Knicks game. It was Lin’s first time back in MSG since making the switch to the Rockets from the Knicks. During his year-long sting with the New York Knicks, Jeremy Lin went from an ivy league benchwarmer to an “linspiration” for young athletes and Asian-Americans everywhere. After a surprising decline to match Houston’s $25.1-million, three-year offer, the New York Knicks said farewell to the player that shot up to celebrity-status while signed to their team. There were varying reports on how the crowd felt about Lin’s return, some saying he was cheered and the others saying he was jeered….

Jeremy Lin to leave Kinicks for Houston Rockets?

Jeremy Lin may say bye-bye to the New York Knicks if they don’t match the Houston Rockets’ three-year $25 million dollar offer. The New York Knicks have until Tuesday night to match the offer, including the final-year $14.8 million dollar balloon payment, proposed by the Rockets. Many are speculating that the Knicks will pass on this offer. The 23-year-old point guard exploded in popularity last year, but is he worth $25 million? One thing to consider is New York’s luxury tax, which puts a $70.3 million cap on the payroll. Every dollar over that amount goes to the NBA.

Stoudemire punch extinguishes Knicks’ playoff hopes

New York Knicks power forward Amare Stoudemire will miss at least two games after injuring his hand following the Knicks second heavy loss to Miami Heat in Game 2 of the NBA playoffs. Stoudemire had surgery to repair a lacerated left hand after he punched a fire extinguisher case near the locker room following the Knicks’ 104, 94 loss to the Lebron James, Dwayne Wade inspired Heat. With the Knicks 2-0 down to a so far vastly superior Heat team the loss of Stoudemire, in addition to other missing stars such as Iman Schumpert and Jeremy Lin, looks to have ended the Knicks slim hopes of edging past Miami. Stoudemire has apologized to Knicks fans…
