The Lin Training is Rolling.

Once again Jeremy Lin has saved the day. I watched the Knicks-Raptors game and my thinking at halftime was its not happening tonight. With the Knicks down by 11 at the half and the way Toronto's Jose Calderon was shooting I figured Lin's luck is over tonight its been a good run, at that point he had only 9 points and was turning the ball over way too much. Later in the 4th quarter around 1:25 Iman Shumpert dunks the ball making it 84-87 and only a three point deficit I felt the momentum shift and thought this is anybodies game. With about 1:00 left in the game Lin hits a free throw and ties it up and this sets up what I would consider the greatest comeback finish of the season. With .20  left  Jeremy Lin sets up at the top of the arc and commands his team to clear out so that he could go one-on-one with Jose Calderon. It was only fitting seeing that Calderon had been torching the Knicks all night. At about .09 Lin gives Calderon a taste of his own medicine with a 23 foot swoosher, nothing but net. This gave the Knicks a 3 point lead with .05 left and won the game. Linsanity is still alive!. Amare Stoudemaire finished with 21 points and 9 rebounds in his return.
