ESPN is going to be renamed "The Lin Network" after this one. They were already spending half their show on him. Beats all the negative stuff over the last decade, that's for sure.
Just wow. Also, they're talking about it now on the post game, but I :heart: Jared Jefferies, you can tell he was talking at Lin all day and I think he said in the huddle "this is our star" or something like that. God I love this team right now. Thank you!!!!
Very telling stat:
Last two games, our two opponents have scored a COMBINED 23 points in the fourth quarter. Thats 11.5 in average. We have been playing great defense, especially when the game matters the most and we need stops.

Lin is good and he is ours.
All ours
I dont give a shit how feel good he is. I want to go deep in the playoffs. You forget we were playing the Raptors minus Bargnani.
Lin can get to rim and get to the line and I love it. I wouldnt trade him and stated he was a keeper. With that said he had 8 TO's, played some lazy defense on Calderon, and forced shots. But yea lets forget all that because he made the game winner.
Raptors were playing the Knicks without that Carmelo Anthony fellow and working Amar'e back in.

word. a lot of people were calling it the end of linsanity in the first half.
Lin actually did the right thing. This was a tie game on the road. He went for the win with absolutely Zero pressure on his shot and got it in rhythm!!! That was a great shot for him. Calderon was playing him to drive all the way, so Lin didn't have to pay any attention to him and just concentrate on the rim.

He was so calm about it though I imagine that was his idea all along, knowing that Calderon would expect him to drive or dish, therefore leaving him open with space behind the arc.
Or Something Goodness Gracious
I didn;t call for the 3, but I was screaming for a clear out or a 1-4 which was what the Knicks did. Didn't want to see a pick-n-roll cause the rapts were going to trap and take the ball out of his hands. The poise this kid jas in crunch time is unbelievable.

it's reel!
Yes!!!! We Do!!! For all of us that are still here after Anucha-gate, Isiah, Marbs, the get-in-the-truck, Layden and the Utah rejects....We def desreve this and much more....
This is Lin being Lin. He had heroic plays like this for his HS and College team, so it's only new to us, but not for him in terms of him having confidence to make plays!!! We're only just beginning to learn what he's about, but he's had big games in his career on each level he's played. Now he's acclimating to the pro game.

Yeah I love the hedge on a rush to judgment before the game is over. Not fully committing but laying the ground work for bashing the kid if they lost. You should've heard the Toronto announcers talking crap all night. They just swore this kid was overrated and that Calderon was having the better game. They were KILLING Lin and as he started to come on later in the game they started to backtrack.
i love how many fans in toronto jumped up and cheered when Lin made the game winner.
Dantoni, post game comments on not calling the time out. "Trust the Point Guard"
He finally has his guy, I think we are positioned to do something special. WE haven't even got Melo back!

Especially when LIN was still playing decent when we were down. Yeah he had turnovers but that's something we have to live with as he gains experience. He's virtually a rookie.

Everybody in there got their money's worth. So great when as a fan you can witness something special with your own eyes.

A high number of people are starting to tune in NBA games to follow this Lin story. It sounds incredible, as anything Lin-related, but people are following the NBA because of Lin.
This is truly remarkable.
i think the last three lin games: home against the lakers, back to back on the road vs minnie/rubio/love and working in amar'e on the road in toronto - when teams know to prepare for him... have just been so incredibly impressive.
think about that - defenses are keying on him and preparing for him. AND HE'S STILL DOING IT.

Jose Calderon is averaging 10 points a game this season. Jose abused Derek Fisher for 30 then abuses Lin for 25. Raptors are garbage.
Shumpert gets put on Calderon and we see the real Calderon.
Cant let scrubs get going like that. Melo or no Melo if we had stopped Calderon this would have been a blowout in the Knicks favor.
