Wtf Raptors, wtf??

3 solid quarters plus strong defense, and then just gave it all away in the 4th. Anyway, happy for Lin, what a player. My first look at him live, great to see the Toronto crowd cheering him on. Was a great atmosphere at the ACC.

But seriously, wtf Raptors? :dry:

much better game for lin i think the knicks would like lin to play the role he did today. i think when u get a shooter of carmelo's ability back the best thing is to let him finish. 4-6 with 13 ast is pretty amazing.

he still turns it over far too much though there was a 2-3 min spell where he had about 4 tos first half was solid enough

Yeah, pretty much. I only go to 1 or 2 games an year, and follow up on the scores from time to time. It's frustrating enough as a fan of the Leafs and Jays, that I really cbf supporting the Raptors (although the Leafs are finally looking to clinch a playoff spot since the lockout, and the Jays look promising with young exciting prospects and an improved bullpen this year).

However, I may reconsider my stance if we manage to tank the season and acquire Davis from Kentucky as a first pick :p

EDIT: But I guess you're asking because of their inability to close out games so far this season.

can carmelo and lin be on the court at the same time without lin other guys wont get as many assists but carmelo needs to hog the ball a lot as a player

Yes, Lin is a born facilitator and is such a smart guy who's going to be so happy to be an NBA player that he'll do anything to make the team tick. Still not convinced completely by him, but if his performances remain at an NBA starter level then he will improve the Knicks a heap. Amare needs a real point guard too, he'll love Lin so much.

Also Kmart is the best acquisition of the summer so far after the CP3 trade. He is such a good fit for them. Amazing signing and that team now looks nasty. Filth is going to be flying from everywhere on the court.

stat and lin have been pretty good the last 1.5 games. hopefully anthony can fit in as well

Lin's already showing a lot more improvement in his passing, I'm sure his TO's will reduce as time goes on. Rose had the same problem early on. He'll understand that you can't make those passes in the paint at this level.

Doing well against Dallas so far. His interview just now about the pains he went through was pretty good.

Alright now that he's done it against my team too, I'm getting annoyed by Linsanity. The dude can play. Dirk was awesome tonight as well, but too many turnovers did us Lin.

That three over Dirk really pumped me up. I feel so dirty that I actually root for the ****ing Knicks of all teams, but it's so tough not to right now. If not for Lin, I'd be rooting for the Mavs to pummel NY.

Have to say, I'm surprised Dallas couldn't pull out a win with all those open looks they were getting at the perimeter. Jet was pretty cold out there.
