    Completely agree.

    Praise Lin, you're labelled a LOF.
    Criticise Lin, you're labelled a LOH.
    Criticise ANY other player, however valid it may be, you're labelled a LOF.

    It gets so tiring.

    you should also ban Spiegel for being a constant **** stirrer in every other thread. I'm a neutral party as far as Lin goes, I praise him when he does well and criticize him when he plays poorly. I would not mind trading him along with Asik if we get a good deal.

    If it was our old Mediocre team vs our current team i think the mediocre team would when cause they had ball movement and other stuff.

    Lin vs Lowry

    Harden vs Martin (battle of horrible defense)

    Parsons vs Budinger (even though Parsons beat Bud of his starting spot)

    Jones vs Patterson

    Howard vs Dalembert/Hayes


    difference of our old team was that McHale knew what he was doing and had some plays drawn and not Isos

    The short answer is yes, that gets him banned. And if you have ant questions about that you'll be banned too.

    To be fair, if it is up to me, I would ban those two as well. Save me time to scroll past their posts.

    it's no biggie. lin tends to drop 20 and 30 points performances when he sees lowry and dragic.

    Fair enough...
    For the record I don't think Lin is a mediocre player, just a mediocre starter. The NBA point guard position is stacked right now. Lin is a very good rotation player and a key bench player on an elite team. I just do not view him overall as a good enough player to start for a good team.

    Meh, before I go to bed:

    -This horrible game was not only on Jeremy. It was a lackluster team effort in the second half.

    -However, McHale owes his team and fans an apology for not trying SOMETHING to regroup during that run. You don't just sit back and let a team do you in for 20 points straight. I don't care what coach you are. It shouldn't happen. Ever.

    -We miss Chandler Parsons immensely.

    I read what he quoted. Don't know if that was all the guy posted, but that was all he quoted.

    Lin < Lowry

    Harden >>>>> Martin

    Parsons >> Budinger

    Jones > Patterson (although it's close)

    Howard >>> Delembert/Hayes

    We are a much, much better team now overall, and our record reflects that. Although our bench is awful. Garcia << Lee, Scola >>> Casspi, etc.

    Better modding and this LOH/LOF war wouldn't have taken over the entire forum. Just hand bans to anyone who engages in it.

    Tired of dishonest people.

    I'm re-setting the tone right now.

    I agree.

    Fed up watching game threads turn into D&D-style bull****.

    Agree with you, Nubmonger. You will probably get banned too. While you are at it, why don't you ban every poster who profess to be a Lin fan?

    That's your opinion, and that's fine. I disagree with it a lot, but I think sometimes he plays worse because of the system. Just look what happened to Lowry, he was a good pg before Mchale got here, but they couldn't coexist. I think Mchale isn't good at being flexible and changing with the times, and it causes some players to not be able to perform at their best.
