It might be the bizarro world, but the Knicks are not complaining about the surging (if you can call two games a surge) Jeremy Lin. The Knicks had signed the Harvard graduate off of waivers last December as a backup point guard, not expecting much. But then a dazzling 25-point game against the Nets on Saturday—plus other Knicks injuries and absences—prompted coach Mike D'Antoni to start Lin against the Jazz. And Lin led the team with 28 points. So the NY Times has a feature on the "Linsanity": "From Ivy Halls to the Garden, Surprise Star Jolts the N.B.A."

Last Night's Action: Another Fun Night In Knickland
The Knicks clinched a losing record for the season with their 100-88 defeat Monday, but what happened off the court was much more interesting. Stephon Marbury, the pariah point guard who was reportedly banned from MSG, was supposed to show up tonight. At the morning shootaround Isiah told reporters, “We expect him here tonight,” when discussing Marbury. And, true to form, Marbury made his coach look bad again by not showing up at all.
