    Sounds great! It'll be interesting to see how Harden works with Greg.

    Why is he talking about passing? We all know he's been instructed by the coaches to never pass, move and to shoot every bad shot he can off of iso.

    I can just tell by the quotes that he was being condescending toward Omer as well. Notice how he said Greg catches all the passes. There is a huge rift between Omer and James and I don't think it'll ever be repaired. They hate each other.

    Making up stuff off of quotes is fun, isn't it BleedRed, Steal&Deal, GoRockets2009, hustle_town or whatever, BayMind, and the rest of you Lin fans who blow up every damn quote for what is not said?

    Notice in this thread, just like in many others, the first troll post in the thread comes from a LOH to put down other fans and to bait other fans into responding.

    That's right HadToDoItCF. You just had to do it.

    I like Jeremy a lot and think he is a pretty good ball player who is only going to get better. I think he is a healthy, balanced soul walking around in an NBA that doesn't have that anywhere. I want him to do as well as anyone here. If that makes me a LOH, then sure?

    Indeed. I think sitting out and watching the team play will do more for James than simply rehabbing his foot. In my opinion, stepping away and watching everyone play without him is good for a player who has no worries about losing his starting position. It gives the fellow a bit of a different perspective when it's not practice and you aren't suited up, expecting to go in at any moment, distracted by watching your matchups during your time on the bench. It's different from sitting in a suit courtside, simply watching the guys play, and different from watching film.

    I think we'll se a tighter, more cohesive offense tonight, good defensive effort, and Mr. Harden showing us, again, why Morey dealt for this superstar in the making. I also hope that Anderson plays significant minutes, so James can keep his own minutes down going forward towards the playoffs. IMO, Anderson has proven that he's a solid 2 that can back up Harden without too drastic a dropoff at the position, and McHale needs to grab this opportunity to juggle the rotation a bit with both hands. Fewer minutes for James opens up more minutes for Jeremy when Harden is off the floor, and that's very good for all involved. I liked his comments about Smith. Liked them a lot.

    So let's go kick the Kings arse from here to Timbuktu!

    GO ROCKETS!!

    I thought it was a pretty funny and accurate observation on how a certain group of members post.

    IDK, the idea of "LOHs" is bs and I personally had no problem with your satirical post, but kent335's post was a pretty caustic and accurate description of how a pretty good segment of this forum posts.

    That's pretty much all he does.
