    Lin fans are the most delusional fanbase on the face of the planet. They expect him to be this stud when he is never going to be. 24 is not young anymore

    Harden wouldnt be here if Lowry remained to be a Rocket.

    Lowry -> Toronto pick -> Harden

    If anything, had Lowry stayed, he would be playing with Lin. lolz

    Yep.

    Happens all the time.

    Some people want to be right so bad that they don't care if it means that their team will suck. They just want to be right so they can go "Haha! I was right! haha!" instead of being wrong and having Lin prove them wrong.

    If all our opinions were alike, this would quickly become a pretty boring place. In my opinion, Kyle is a class act. To be clear, I feel the same way about Goran Dragic. Both have that edge that separates a starter from a backup. In Lowry's case, you see his edge as "being somewhat of an a-hole." I see a guy who is driven by the need to win. That's class, in my book. Naturally, I would love it if Jeremy outplays him. We'll see what happens tonight.

    Haha. I've watched all but five Toronto games on League Pass this season because of Lowry. He has been killin' it, but his shot hasn't returned after his ankle tweak, so he may struggle again tonight with Lin haunting him.

    I was just reading the Toronto forums and somebody said Bargnani will set 5+ picks for Lin tonight and Lowry is going to lose it and go apeshat on Bargs. LOL. It is so true. Lin is going to go to the basket all game if he realizes that he can use Bargnani as a screen.

    I don't see the comparison with Dragic. Dragic for all intents and purposes was a very amicable fellow. One who played the role as his coach dictated. Lowry though ran himself out of at least one team by buttheading with a coach, and probably a second. Yes, Morey likely would've traded him regardless. But even assuming different circumstances, I think Morey would've easily chose Dragic after Lowry's outburst against McHale.

    This. Funny how some people who rag on the LOF, saying they are not real Rockets fans, would rather root for a guy on the other team to destroy a guy on our team.

    You are like a broken record. Just as bad, if not worse, than the Lin fans.

    It makes it easier knowing that a Lowry-Harden back court could never have existed.

    At the expense of dumping McHale? Probably not.

    7 points, 8 rebounds 5 assists.

    Solid night from a guy who came back from an injury recently.

    Non-factor offensively doesn't mean anything.

    If you were here before Lin you would know Lowry started off as a non-factor on offense. He polished his game under Adelman and became one of the best PGs in the league.

    He had an off-game tonight and still affected the game in many ways.
