I think Lin is hogging all the criticism. Harden is our max player and he hasn't performed against top seed teams. memphis 4/18 shooting okc 3/16 la 3/19
This is why we can't have nice things. People on here care more about harden being bashed less than Lin than the team winning the game.
Freedom of speech. We can't keep people from starting ignorant, useless, knee-jerk threads and making anger-inducing responses; but we can make these the unpopular minority. I believe there's more of us than there is of them. The reasonable just have to outpost the unreasonable. That's how wars are won.
I'm not happy for this win because it was a fluke. We lost this game on every level until hack a dwight.
1. Lin had foul trouble so he didn't play his usual minutes. 2. Who is supposed to be out there as playmaker if both Harden and Lin are benched? Don't take everything so personally just because there are some deeply annoying hater-trolls on this board or because the media writes sensational articles on Lin to get eyeballs. Don't conflate all that with the Rockets organization and scrutinize every coaching decision. There was nothing controversial about what Sampson did, unless you also think it was controversial to sit Parsons and Asik. He went with who was hot. And Harden needed to be out there with the bench.
This. Not really anyone on here is here to hate only on Lin. There are however people here to worship Lin.
dude, you got the message all wrong. All Non believers must be destroyed This was foreseen by Rudy T. There are only two types of fans here. Rockets fans and Non believers. here's his message: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5-1jgNhopNo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
LOFs >>>>>>>>>>>>> LOHs LOFs act out of love and support of a player they like, sometimes out of ignorance/naive/lack of knowledge of the game or other players on the team. A lot of them have before more knowledgeable and have started supporting the other players and the team as a whole. LOHs act out of hatred. Their goal in life is to attack/bash someone. They are a miserable, pathetic group of losers in life that will never get better.
LOH=imaginary group of people created by LOFs used to shield Jeremy Lin of any basketball criticism Clutch fans = fans of the Houston Rockets , the team that transformed Houston into Clutch City Knicks fans = fans of New York Knicks, who got denied a championship because of Clutch City fans who can't understand that the Rockets of 1994 were superior than all of their players Yeah, John Starks was way overrated, Maxwell could eat him for lunch, everyday Dream> 100 Patrick Ewings
A LOH is someone who focuses on how bad Lin is playing and ignores how bad other rockets are playing.
Hey now, watch what you say about us ladies. But yeah, I agree with everything you said Shawndme7 Glad some mature veteran members notice this as well. Just in the last couple of days there's been an influx of stupid, instigating, "LOF" mock threads from the vets. I apologized to the mod crew for having to deal with that childishness and some idiot left me a comment calling me a LOF and that it was a joke!!......like I get it, they're joke threads but they got tired and old a month ago when the real LOFs made them, what good does it do for vets to stoop to their level? Both sides need to grow up, seriously. By anyway, pass me the pen. I, Lucky Charm, hereby swear to respect the presented Clutchfans Declaration of Peace.
No, a LOH is someone who makes a critical observation about Lin and then has to read post after post calling him a "hater" or a "troll", or pointing out the short-comings of other Rockets' players in order to justify their over-inflated and inappropriate (borderline sexually confused) affection for Lin.
Even in the Middle East, I don't think there were nuclear weapons fired AT A PEACE DISCUSSION. Maybe I'm wrong.
Haha, +1 on your description of harcore Knicks fans. I enjoyed that Rockets championship more than any sports moment to that point (although Moses and Dr. J winning for the 76ers a decade earlier after all those near misses came close). Don't agree though that LOH are imaginary though, as there do seem to be people unfairly targeting Lin (those that fairly target him when he plays poorly are of course not LOH).
I think people are getting thrown in the same boat. I think GlenRice was the first LOH, but these newbs weren't around for him. Imagine what would happen if GlenRice was still here?
Actually it made sense to me that Harden was out there facilitating because you don't want just Douglas out there facilitating. Let Douglas be the SG he clearly is, to maximize him. At this point in time, I think Harden draws more defensive attention than Lin because of how they've generally been performing this season, therefore from a viewpoint of trying to breakdown the defense to get the ball into the hands of the guys on the team who are having a good shooting night, Harden should have definitely been on the floor. This is from a person that still thinks it was a poor coaching decision to have Lin sit out that entire OT against Portland.
