No enthusiasm this game so far

The Toronto Media has been talking ish about Calderon verses Lin. I knew Calderon would come out just shooting. Knicks aren't used to this more aggressive Calderon. They have to pick up their pressure on him and recognize where he is at all times.

Terrible Quarter..Should be happy to only be down 7
GodSaveTheKnicks @ 2/14/2012 7:42 PM
Not a great start but the Raptors can't keep shooting 60%+
FoeDiddy @ 2/14/2012 7:43 PM
Need to get Novak some looks..way it looks though seems like the Knicks will make a major run soon.
nixluva @ 2/14/2012 7:43 PM
Knicks will eventually adjust to what they're doing and tighten up their D.

the ghost of anthony carter owning lin
Clean @ 2/14/2012 7:46 PM
Lin has to give up the ball faster this game. Once he hits PNR they are swarming him, so someone has to be open.
PresIke @ 2/14/2012 7:47 PM
interesting defensive strategy (if that's what you call it) against lin.

try to use his lack of strength and propensity to not take care of the ball sometimes...

twice when he stopped in the lane to pass or shoot was either stripped or put into a jump ball situation...

he still looks good to me, but you see what the raps scouting report might have been...

PresIke @ 2/14/2012 7:48 PM
exactly, he is going to have to adjust...

the raps are collapsing on him...

he has the vision...it seems...so he just needs to find other things to do with it...

Yeah this is gonna be a big adjustment game for him. I actually don't think he needs to give it up sooner, but hold it a little longer before he goes into the lane. let the D show their hand a bit and take what they give you. He's forcing it right now rather than letting the D show and then making another choice with the ball.

i would say it's the ghost of amar'e stoudemire who's owning lin.
