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.

He began as their starting small forward and helped Dallas to a 24-8 start before suffering a torn patellar tendon that cost him the rest of the season.
Steve Nash, at 38, is about to play in his seventh career All-Star Game. 2012’s oldest NBA All-Star — he joins Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan and Karl Malone as the only All-Stars 38 years or older — is leading the league in assists (10.3 apg) and is third overall in field goal percentage (.563). Nash is on pace to lead the league in assists for the sixth time. Only Hall of Famer John Stockton has accomplished that feat, having led the NBA in that category nine times.
