"If the Knicks lose again tomorrow, I... won't eat breakfast."

The New York Knicks' recent losing streak seems to have incensed Lin-sane Chinese basketball fans.

Anxiety over the Knicks' sixth straight loss to the Chicago Bulls last night broke out into nearly 10 million micro-blogs on Sina Weibo, the Chinese Twitter, yesterday.

As though Lin alone were responsible for the Knicks' chronic defeat, the hash-tag associated with the trend was #Hard for Jeremy Lin to come back from six straight losses#.

Countless other fans cheered Lin on with "Jeremy Lin jia you," the Chinese term that literally means add oil -- essentially, kick some ass.

Others micro-bloggers commented, much like sports commentators in the United States, that Jeremy Lin -- a relative rookie, despite his rapid rise to fame last month-- shouldn't take as much blame for the losses as more seasoned players.

Some fans seemed to poke fun at the anxiety over the overnight success' recent losses.
