The people that were cheering for Lin were mainly chinese...in case you didn't know toronto has a large asian population. Besides how can you not cheer for him? All he does is Lin no matter what

Nothing to do with the Knicks. They cheered Kobe during his GW shot. They want to lose.

I'd cheer for him too since there's nothing much to cheer about in the Raptor land.

There are a bunch of cities that cheer for the Knicks outside of New York.

Clearly you've never been.

Anyways there was as stated a large Asian crowd in attendance, also it was a huge shot and the Raptors do suck so..

never have the knicks gotten that many cheers at the ACC (we're a Laker fanboy city), it wasn't knick fans it was Asian Linsanity fans, they came out in full force just like when Yao came to town, but multiply it by the Lin hype, his performance, and the sad state of the raptors
