    :36 Seconds left -- Rockets last play. He had to foul, and it's a Bad Call, that's a steal



    :26 Seconds left -- 2nd to last possession -- Lin's not the one who got blocked



    :12 Seconds left -- Last possession (1st inbounds from side line) -- So what? It's just a do-over

    I have long hair. I'm thinking about cutting it off for the first time in 3 years after seeing Lin. I don't want to look anything like him.

    Also, it's his fault we won tonight. It was his fault we lost to Portland. It's his fault for comparing himself to Jesus because we wanted Carmelo. It's his fault the Lakers were terrible last year. It's his fault we gave up draft picks and money to get rid of his contract. Overall, I'm just not mad because he helped us win tonight! Never give Lin the ball late in the game and never fight a land war in Asia!

    Heypartner joining the hate wagon ? Or farming for more Likes ? ;)

    Lin had a pretty good game. On your first video, It was prolly worth the gamble, its a sure dunk if he gets in clean, plus if Lin tries to play it positionally he is prolly rung up for the And-1 as he would be in the restricted zone.

    2nd, video no argument, bad shot , but also credit Nene for the closeout

    3rd video, also good D by Nene , and poor spacing and execution by the Nets in general.

    I've never understood the practice of pinpointing a few plays over the rest of the game of good work. 10 points, 7 assists, a block and steal in 20 minutes in his first game back. Team high plus 17.

    Jeremy isn't a great NBA player, but he's definitely a decent one. Thank God brooklyn doesnt have a real star at guard and had to rely on Lin to initiate the offense in crunch time. Lin is the Kevin Martin caliber player the Nets have to rely on ... and Lopez is Scola.

    Bwwaaahhahahahahah... I just saw the tribute video to Scola. Lin had to feel slighted by not being honored in any way shape or form. I wonder what bible verse he'll use to tweet about how he feels?

    Lin definitely had a good game overall but his late game meltdown was pretty nostalgic, and considering the poor behavior of his fans overall you can expect a bit of trash talking from Rocket fans on this board.

    I wouldn't take what the more seasoned posters have to say about Lin as anything personal against him but more of people making fun of the fact that the recurring mistakes Lin makes are now benefiting Rockets instead of the other way around.

    Blasphemy, Harden + a duck = a good backcourt that's difficult to defend

    I'm not questioning your interpretation, but in my opinion the behavior of those who love to trash Lin at any opportunity outweighs the "LOF's" .

    My memory is usually pretty good and yeah there was alot of **** on both sides , but now that Lin left the team and the most intense part of the war is over, i always felt that there were more LOH and LOF.

    The whole history of this topic is pretty interesting and could easily be studied as a case in internet flame warfare.
