After the thrilling Opening Day win by the Knicks, they've seem to have lost all composure and confidence. Let's see how they bounce back tonight against the Kings.

East:
Can Miami get the top seed from Chicago? Looks like Chicago is very strong without Deng. Once he comes back, would be very difficult for anyone to stop them. Philly is the surprize team but their road record is a concern for playoffs. Hawks again can't win their division. That will not bode well with the fans. Indiana playing at high level. Truncated season can only help them.
West:
Dallas slowly catching up to the other elites after a very slow start. Good sign. Ok City is the team to beat. To my delight Lakers are behind Clippers. Hahaha!! No more Clipper jokes. Denver is a dangerous team. They have veteran leadership. Watch out for them in the playoffs.

This year will be the year for the overlooked heroes. First Victor Cruz, and then this dude. This is HUGE for the Asian-Americans, and the stereotypes.
Linsanity! Dilscoop, I agree, it's a huge break through for the Asian American community. I suppose it is a little like what Shakib did for us abroad. You should make a wallpaper for him

Ah, just wikied him. I don't follow NFL so wasn't aware of that. Still, basketball is one of the most followed sports in China and Taiwan, so this would have special significance for them.
If you ask me, I'm a believer in Lin. Not only is he insanely good, he's full of heart and the consummate team player. He's just made the Knickerbockers relevant again and will turn them into a legit contender. Knicks already possessed arguably the best front court in the league with Tyson at center, Amare at power and Carmelo at small forward. What they didn't have was chemistry and a true playmaker. With Linsanity at point and providing the glue and spark they lacked, as long as Carmelo is willing to play second fiddle to Lin, watch out South Florida, watch out all Larry O'Brien trophy contenders!

Knicks vs. Lakers last night, one of the BEST REGULAR SEASON game i have ever watched...Regular season games are usually same old boring stuff, but last night Lin and Kobe really turned it on and it was really fun to watch intelligent players not just doing the same boring old moves.
Long Live Ping Pong Playa(if anybody saw that movie they will get the joke ) for those who didn't get the joke, this kid in that movie wanted to become an NBA player but then he became a ping pong playa instead...
Alhamdulillahi Rabbil A'lamin! Knicks are slowly getting their act together, but they still have a long way to go...
Jeremy Lin did it again!!! "Lin hit a free throw with 4.9 seconds left to overcome a dreadful second half and lift the New York Knicks to their fifth straight victory, 100-98, over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night.
Steve Novak scored 15 points, including the game-tying 3-pointer with 36 seconds to play and Lin used his quickness to draw a foul and get to the line in the closing seconds. He finished with 20 points, eight assists and six rebounds."
