csprtContainer(); Jeremy Lin has led the Knicks to a seven-game win streak, and nobody seems to have noticed the San Antonio Spurs have won nine straight going into a big game this Saturday in Los Angeles against the Clippers. CineSport’s Justin Shackil & SheridanHoops.com’s Chris Sheridan discuss those topics and J.R. Smith’s future.
Heisler: Jeremy Lin, the “Taiwanese Tebow”, put in perspective
LOS ANGELES — Dear New York, give the rest of us a break, will you? Before trying to put Jeremy Lin in some kind of perspective… or whatever you call a judgment based on 45 NBA games, the first 38 as the last man on three different teams’ benches, the last seven as a demigod… I don’t have one bad thing to say about him. He has been great. He dominated games with great players on the
Pop-ulism, for those overdosed on Linsanity
We interrupt Linsanity with this news bulletin: The San Antonio Spurs are playing even better basketball than the New York Knicks. And they are being led by a guy who didn’t go to Harvard and wouldn’t go there unless there was a symposium on internaional geopolitical trends, with wine served afterward. Good wine. Gregg Popovich does not sleep on a couch on the Lower East Side, does not have a weakness going left (political joke), and does not move merchandise at the
Reader comments on Jeremy Lin – UPDATED
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.

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
The legend of Linsanity grows with game winning shot; Heat win three road games in three nights
Once upon a time, Air Canada Center was all about Vinsanity, which captured the hearts of the Toronto fans until he broke those hearts by leaving. On this Va-Lin-Tine’s Day, the season-high sellout crowd of 20,092 Canadians experienced another type of insanity. Linsanity. Doubt was in the air. Turnovers were aplenty. Once again, a defense seemed to have figured out how to contain him — force him left and back off him at the 3-point line. The world
Linsanity update: Colbert Report version, and jersey auction
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
Mavs hold off Clippers, Heat destroy Bucks
Let’s check in on last year’s Finals participants, shall we? There was quite a game in Dallas, where the Mavericks were trying to extend their winning streak and the Clippers were trying to complete a spiffy 5-1 road trip. The night began and ended with Caron Butler. Butler spent last season with the Mavericks. 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.
