Jeremy Lin did it again, hitting the game-winning 3-pointer in Toronto. Lin now has at least 20 points and seven assists in six straight games, the longest streak in the NBA this season. So what do you think? The comments section is your forum, folks. Type away. UPDATE: I had my say this morning on the Jorge Sedano Show on 790 The Ticket in Miami, making the point that a future lineup of Lin/Baron Davis at PG, Iman Shumpert/Landry Fields at SG, Carmelo Anthony at
Tuesday’s Lin-tangibles I loved seeing the latest episode of the Jeremy Lin show in person. The phenom was outplayed by red-hot Jose Calderon (25 PTS, 7 REB, 9 AST) until Mike D’Antoni made a defensive switch.

They can become just the third team to win all three – and the first to do it entirely on the road. Previously, only the Chicago Bulls and Oklahoma City Thunder have gone 3-for-3 over the most unforgiving portion of their schedule. The Bulls beat Detroit, won at Minnesota and defeated
There is politically correct humor, there are politically incorrect tweets, and there are fake Jeremy Lin Twitter accounts that are so uproariously funny but so far beyond the boundaries of good taste that we will resist the urge to publicize them. Linsanity knows no limits, Linsanity has gone mainstream, and Linsanity goes international tonight when Jeremy Lin’s team goes north of the border to play the Toronto Raptors. Take a couple minutes to watch Stephen Colbert’s take on Linsanity from last night’s
In the last week, Kobe Bryant became the fifth-leading scorer in NBA history and Paul Pierce surpassed Larry Bird and now trails only John Havlicek as the leading scorer in Celtics history. Although each achievement was exceptional, such feats are not allowed to stand on their own. Not in sports. When records are set, there is a larger discussion – is that player the greatest of all-time in that sport or for that franchise? And if not, it is absolutely mandatory
