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

The last shot:

Toronto:

1. Don't foul

Knicks were set up to Isolate Lin to penetrate and kick out for a jump shot. They were not going to give us anything in the paint. Road teams don't get many calls in the last seconds. If they collapsed on Lin, then who do you want to take the last shot?
Rookie exhausted Shump? Fields? Rusty Amare? Chandler? High % they make a good play and force a turnover. SO they give us a look and remember, the game is tied. Lin was missing foul shots and was tired. Naturally if we hit a few we up 1 or two pts and they are fouling us way earlier. But the game was tied.

So they basically dared us to hit a 3 (don't matter if you lose by 1-2 or 3 pts does it? Given the circumstances I'd say AT BEST its 50-50% given those circumstances, or more like 35% if you factor in fatigue.

Factor Linsanity? Thats a different equation!

Is that the Toronto feed? Wow. Even their commentators are into the Linsanity.

Haha, peep Bill Walker giving Lin the Shaolin salute after the shot.
