MEMO: we won

Stop the silliness of debating the imaginary.

Cool. We beat the Craptors by a last second 3 when we had 18 seconds on the clock. Lets all pop bottles.

Sorry but you are SO way off. Has this winning streak made you forget that even with both Melo and Amar'e, against crap teams missing a key player we still found a way to lose and in some nights by a lot? When did we win the championship recently that wins like the last two can be written off?

This is a condensed insane season where anything can happen. We just got Amar'e back, are still riding on the amazing play of Lin, just played a Raptors team that no matter their record have been playing nice lately, going to the wire with the Lakers, and you want to write this win off?

Some fans just love to criticize their team.

Chandler and Amare are both 29. I dont think we have 2-3 years to wait while guys develop for us.

We have it tied, after fighting to get back, we have the last possession, its a 0% risk 100% reward play for Lin to iso there, no risk of turnover, our worst possible scenario is another 5 minutes. Anyone who wanted to see "ball movement" on that last shot, or wanted to see an attempt earlier must be forgetting that the Raptors had 2 timeouts. That was probably the best end game management we've seen this year.

I didn't want to see an earlier shot. But I did want to see "ball movement." I think that "ball movement" wins games more often than a stationary "hold the ball for 17 seconds and have a .174 three point shooter put up a three." (http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/l/linje01.html )

Fair enough, we can't lose if we take the last shot. So I'm not advocating taking an earlier shot...just trying to get a higher percentage shot.

yeah, if only lin had scored more points than anyone in the history of the NBA in his first 5 starts... oh wait

he's such a slow starter! good one

and players suck at 32..oh wait.

THAT MEANS WE'VE WON SIX....GAMES..... IN...... A..... ROW

There just have to be pessimists. They're like ticks. You can't actually fathom what they're good for until they're gone.
