Well Lin is playing in the Eastern division and perhaps he will not do as well when he faces the Western division. We will see.

Ellis has to leave the Warriors if he ever wants to sniff a joc in an all-star game.

Lin buries a three pointer with .5 seconds left in the clock to beat Toronto . Lin scored 27 points with 11 assists. The Knicks were behind Toronto by 9 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Linsanity continues...

Wow, Lin hit the game winning shot. This guy just might be for real.

As far as my opinion about Lin goes, you can't help but feel happy for the guy. He's a good humble Christian guy, who just appreciates the opportunity he's been given by the Knicks, and has taken advantage of it.

As a San Francisco guy, it's nice to see Bay Area people who are in pro sports, do well in pro sports. There's not too many pro athletes from the Bay Area, and it's always nice to see a Bay Area pro athlete do well. It's too bad and a shame that things didn't work out with him here with the Warriors.

As a Warrior fan though, you get more mad at the Warriors front office for not keeping Lin. Yeah, they were trying to bring in DeAndre Jordan, and Lin probably wasn't going to get a lot of playing time this season for the Warriors if the Warriors would've kept him but, they lost Lin and ended up not getting Jordan. They got nothing. What an epic fail this has turned out to be, especially with the Knicks having 6 straight wins every since Lin has been inserted into the Knicks starting lineup.

Hopefully Jeremy Lin can continue this. He's been a nice story in the NBA the past couple of weeks. Congratulations to Jeremy Lin!

I'm sure they will beat the Kings. The Kings have talent, but with the way the Knicks are going right now, I'm sure they will beat the Kings.

Yeah, I hear that. I've got quite a few basketball savy friends out here in Nebraska and they couldn't name a single warrior. It's why I've fallen out of touch with Warriors, you just don't get to see them play on TV out here..

Back to Lin... WOW.. I tuned the rest of the game out and tuned back in in the final 5 minutes. That was unreal. I guess Mayweather can s.uck it..

Nice thing about basketball is that you can't hide your faults.

Either you have the ability to get separation, or you don't. At the end of a close game, it's almost always the two best players on the court going head-to-head. It's not the Pinch Hitter who's the 23rd guy off the bench. Or a QB of a team with a strong defense who has to do *just* enough to get into FG range. Or a relief pitcher with that uncanny ability to get balls hit at guys. There's just way less "luck" involved with being successful in the NBA.

Lin has shown the ability to consistently get separation, get to the hoop and find his teammates. Sure, he'll struggle eventually. But in basketball more than any other sport, the "tools" translate. If you got it, you got it. He could should shoot 4-18 and score 11 points but still help his team with a half-dozen assists and all the things a point guard can do to make his teammates better.

He's not the next CP3 or anything, but I don't see why he can't be a consistent 15 and 8 guy for a few years. Plenty of value in that.

Yeah, it would've been nice if Ellison would've owned the Warriors but, I'll admit, I like what Lacob is trying to do with this team. He's committed to seriously turning this franchise around, and he's actually been agressive in trying to bring FA's here. Something that Cohan didn't do. Lacob wants the Warriors to be a winner really bad, but it's really going to take time. I feel bad for him at times. Lacob is trying so hard to try to turn the Warriors into a winner. At least he cares though.

It really will be interesting if Ellison decides to own the Hornets and move them to San Jose. There was a rumor last year that he was going to do that, but I haven't heard anything on that since then. Ever since he lost out on the bid to own the Warriors, you kind of wonder if he still wants to own an NBA team. He wanted to own the Warriors. I was shocked at the time, when I heard that Lacob and Guber won the bid to own the Warriors.

I am loving the Linsanity, but quite frankly the Warriors have enough 6'3" guards on this team. Realistically he wasn't going to beat out Curry or Monta for a starting spot. However, he could have made Ellis expendable to trade for a big man.When you're 29th in the league in rebounding you aren't going to win many games.....You can't really give teams that many 2nd chances to score.......

What happened to Andris Biedrins, that guy used to average a double-double every night and now he's virtually invisible out there?

-RIP-

"What happened to Andris Biedrins, that guy used to average a double-double every night and now he's virtually invisible out there"

Andris Biedrins = Huge huge FLOP!

And the Warriors could have used the exception rule to get out of this Lithuanian nightmare. Never seen such a worthless, extremely overpaid, NOTHING of Center in my life. With the outstanding play the Warriors are getting out of David Lee this year, a little contribution from the Center position could have made for a decent year.

And while I am ranting, whoever gave Jeremy Lin away for nothing outta be fired yesterday!
