    The Toronto game is what kick started Linsanity...this should be interesting...I really hope that Lin be more consistent offensively...if he can increase his scoring avg to about 15 ppg and 7-8 assist/game, 3-4 rebounds, and 2-3 steals...that means he is doing his job well and any more is just a bonus...

    Lin needs to focus on getting himself going...Harden can get his at any time...However, Lin cant always rely on a jumper...thats not his game...his game is more based on pick and roll...and attack the rim...that in turn allows him to gain confidence...which then is seen in his jumpers late in the game...Lin needs to fight thru mental mediocrity...

    Need to get a comfortable lead early so we could rest our starters for the Knicks game tomorrow night.

    that stat line would make him one of the best pg in the nba, its not possible given the minutes he plays especially when you couple that with the PG by committee position that the staff incorporates.

    The Raptors will give him plenty of open jumpers today. I hope he takes advantage.

    Looks like Smith missed that dunk.

    Is Lowry out due to injury? In that case Line goes OFF on Calderon.

    One good thing about the Raptors is that they have very good game announcers, very fair and knowledgeable. Have to say better than ours.

    I've always liked the Raptors announcer, Jack Armstrong. He has a wonderful unique voice, and he is impartial and praises when it's merited, instead of being a mere homer. The game is definitely more enjoyable with his commentary.

    Bargnani is out too, and the Raptors are better without him.

    I think Jones will get major minutes. The Rockets are anal about their court spacing, so it's unlikely Greg Smith gets any time alongside Asik. And supposedly, Jones has been tearing it up in practice.

    Hoping he isn't as jittery as he was in previous games.

    Lin has more fans outside of Houston than in Houston.
