There might have also been a lot of Asian Canadians there as well, cheering Lin on.

This game was pretty entertaining and the ending is a good way to continue the hype for linsanity.
Yes, I would agree that the hype is overrated, but joining the hype makes it more fun to watch and root for Lin. He is still a rookie and young, so he has a lot of room for improvement. I expect to see him get much better in the next few years and start making eight digits.

A lincredible shot!

Blah. He only made that 3 because he's Asian.
|
He looks legit. Very solid game. Good shooter, can get to the basket, high basketball IQ. Don't expect him to be a perennial all-star but he's a damn good player.

Can you guess who is in this picture? And check out the floor.

Actually he got the okay from D'antoni to ISO.

well he wasn't fantastic in FG (9-20 is solid but not stellar) but I bet he was still fired up from the previous 3 point play. Good clutch shot.

I thought that was a good decision under that situation(coach didn't draw up a play), his defender is playing off him, that shot was available, and he declined the screen and opted for the isolation play. It would be difficult to drive pass his man since Lin is not the most explosive guy. But I do think they should have called a time out and draw up a play. Which would be a lot higher % than having Lin figure something out on the spot.

Taking a three when you're a 17% 3pt shooter at the end of a tied game isn't fine. It's awesome, but it's the kind of thing that makes Larry Brown roll over in his grave.
He doesn't need to get past him. He just needs some momentum and a foul. I think he'll learn to do it next time it comes up.

dis dude pretty remarkable story still not sold though. first 3 games were amazing but the last two he has had a decent amount of turnovers and a sub par FG%. that game winner was crazy clutch dough
|
This guy is amazing. It's almost like a fairy tale story, I can't believe what I'm seeing from him these past few games.

Lin was driving under the influence to night. Got robbed so many times on his way to the basket. Normall you would be right, but shiat, he got the okay from coach for the 3 and the rest is history.

Normally, drive -> 2 point play is probably highest %. Ability to mix up his play and having nerves to land the 3 after giving 7-8 TOs ... oh man.. he has balls.

I don't think it's as bad as it seems. Calderon was sagging off so far thinking he'd want to drive. Lin pretty much walked into an open look.

I absolutely hate ESPN and how they over hype everything just to give people like Skip Bayless and Mike and Mike something to talk about... but shit I am jumping on board the Jeremy Lin train. Hopefully he can keep the turnovers down and keep doing his thing and lead the Knicks into the playoffs and actually win a game this year.
That shot at the end was a bad decision though, hah.

People need to stop saying Lin is the tebow of basketball. He's completely on another level. Everyone knows he's actually good, while Tebow was basically just in the right place at the right time. Tebow was built on an established hype train, Lin made himself out of thin air.
