Skip Bayless: Lin was the best player in Portland-Rox series

Ugghhhhhhh.....

 

He blew a wide open layup. To me that's what I cringe at.

 

Lin was a consummate professional. I hope he retires a Rocket.

 

Seems legit.

 

Skip Bayless makes Stephen A Smith look credible

 

Didn't Lin also have a bad moment late in Game 1, too? I think he had a backcourt violation or some type of avoidable late game turnover that gave Portland life when they were down.

That Portland series was just a waste of energy, though. I mean, we should have blown the Blazers out in 5 games yet we kept making horrible decisions in the fourth quarter. I think every game we had a double digit lead late in the 3rd or in the 4th quarter. Waste.

Regarding Skip, he is a major troll and he will say anything to discredit the Rockets and Howard, as both are in his line of fire for some reason. Probably angry his "hometown" Thunder gave up Harden or that Houston swept his "beloved" Spurs.

 

I am so glad he is not wearing a Rockets uniform anymore.

 

ahahhahaa

not game 4

Bayless is a paid troll.

Dude literally gets paid to troll

 

Skip isn't embarrased to sound like an idiot.

I guess I wouldn't if ESPN was paying me


Hope he sleeps well.

 

You could, that is true, but if we lost the series as a result of any single player, the blame rests with Harden, not Lin. Not so much for what Harden did, but what he didn't do.

 

Lin was probably the worst on the floor LOL there is no evidence whatsoever to back up Skips' claim

 

He fouled one of Portland's guards (I think Lillard) when they were up 3 with about 28 seconds left in the game -- meaning Houston did not have to foul to get the ball back with the chance to tie. That foul essentially sealed the game for Portland.

Honestly by my count having Jeremy Lin in that series over lets say a guy like Jason Terry or Isiah Canaan playing those minutes would have probably tipped 1-2 games in Portland's favor.

 

Painful to watch. I know I'm coming across as a homer but that series was one of the few seven game series I've seen where the better team not only lost but did it in less than seven games.

Outside of Dwight, the series could not have gone worse for Houston while the opposite happened with Portland. Aldridge looking like the best player to ever walk the planet in the first two games, 50/50 balls went their way, Harden handed them the worst post-season of his career and Lin gift-wrapped two games for them. Anywhere but the bizzaro-world where that series took place, the Rockets take it in five...six games tops.

I would absolutely love to meet Portland again in the playoffs this season.

 

I had purged these plays from my memory. This just pissed me off all over again.

At least Lin is gone, though. Thank the gods for that.

 

Good god thats painful as hell to watch

 

Exactly. And to think he went to Harvard LOL. It was a bone head decision for sure.

 

Skip made this up in his head

Reminds of when Shaq made up this crap

Shaq said they had 17 days off:

Indiana Pacers at Orlando Magic , June 4, 1995

Houston Rockets at Orlando Magic , June 7, 1995
