I think Fields is at the 2 to start the game

Mike D'Antoni announced that he will start Jeremy Lin at point guard Monday night against the Jazz, following Lin's 25-point performance on Saturday against the Nets.
The Knicks have already started three other point guards, with Toney Douglas, Mike Bibby and Iman Shumpert receiving the call.
“This is a system that is beneficial to attacking point guards,
i say this. just because the Jazz have Milsap/Jefferson starting. they also have Favours/Kanter coming off the bench. we are going to get killed on the boards and (most likely) will be in foul trouble.Originally Posted by UPPTEMPO8387
C-Tyson, PF-Jeffries, SF-Melo, SG-Fields, and PG-Lin.

To me, as long as he moves the ball, penetrates, and doesnt turn the ball over, i think around 10 and 5 would be more than enough.
Lin is here to be a facilitator, not to put up points. He can effectively run the offense, so he should start. Shump will provide that bench spark.Originally Posted by d5
Lin should come off the bench. Knicks have no bench support what so ever so Lin can possibly provide that spark.

Damn.. doesn't matter if he's a basketball player right now, losing a brother is brutal.
Hope Amare makes it through this as well as possible.

+1
If the Knicks find a PG that can keep things fluid on offense, that "spark" will barely be necessary. D'Antoni is probably too busy making sure Nash is coming next season to coach the team. The thing I don't get is how no one knew Baron Davis was really hurting. Billups wouldn't have the team in this position. He's clearly not built for a D'Antoni system, but he would help the team win now.
Funny thing about Lin is that he seemed to even make Douglas feel more comfortable on the court (not that it helped his shooting at all).
