Which Lin fans ? There are some cool ones and there are those paranoid ones who think if you say that Dragic or Lowry were missed, that's a knock on Lin. There's also the Lin fans who insist that Rockets fans care about what Carmelo Anthony and Raymond Felton think. There's also a new breed of them now that don't like when you refer to James Harden as the Rockets "Best Player"

Everytime anyone says something good about Lin they are called LOFs by you. Where are all those complaining about Harden? Haven't seen it. You're seen a lot things that are not there and infering your own biases if a Lin fan says something bad about another player. That's their opinion. Didn't you tell that Laker fan that what he said about Lin was his opinion. Well, each poster has their own opinion. Not all Lin fans think the same.
find me an example on when I said anything bad about Lin. The Laker fan mentioned that losing Dragic was bad for the Rockets. I said that was his opinion and that we don't know yet until the season starts. because you are a 'new' Rockets fan, you don't understand that Rocket fans got to watch our players for quite some time, Lowry and Dragic, so they know more than a casual non Rockets fan of their value to the team. The organization wanted Dragic back, this is a fact not my "opinion". He refused their offer and took Phoenix's offer. The fans also liked him. Lowry was playing great until he got a horrible bacterial infection that cost him months of playing basketball. We felt bad that this had happened to him. No, not all Lin fans are the same, but so far is the pattern is that they are extremely defensive about him. The McGrady fans just blame other players or coaches if times are tough, that's their pattern.
So what if they are defensive about him, if they back it up with facts. There are some who put Lin down no matter what also. Stop grouping people. I haven't seen any Lin fan say anything bad about his teammates or blame them for his performance. I know people still miss the old players it's normal, but aren't you the one who keeps saying to Lin fans to move on from his Knick days, well then the same applys to the Rocket fans to also move on. Anyways, I'm tried of this. You seem to think Lin fans will act a certain way and I haven't seen it yet.
Lin was fine playing behind Melo and Stat in NY. I don't think he's egomaniacal enough that he would have a problem playing alongside Harden. Besides he's got a ridiculous fanbase faithfully cheering him on so he'll be ok. It's Harden who should be grateful to play alongside Lin for all those endorsement deals from Asia he'll be getting.
Yes, please stipulate that not all Lin fans are the same. People have to understand that Lin supporters are very protective of him, maybe to the point of being defensive. Lin is not proven and he would admit to this which only motivates him more. We shall see when this season begins but he seems excited about Hardin joining the team. Lin is all about team play. Actually, this forum is alot nicer than the Knicks forum. People were posting nasty and racist comments about Lin. Pure nastiness. What people are posting on here is nothing compared to the comments on the other site. What's puzzling is there are Rockets fans that compare PGs from the past to current PGs. This is no different than NY. I guess this is just human nature. For me is what happens this season. The past is just that, the past.
^this is why we can't have nice things in the GARM poster A: man I miss Dragic Random Lin Fan: Well Lin is better than Lowry, look at per 36 minutes stats LOOK AT IT, why you miss Lowry and Dragic?????? they aren't on the team anymore. Why does this site hate Lin so much, you all Lin haters will eat crow once Lin beasts this season, here. Poster B: Lin should cut down on his turnovers. Random Lin Fan: You Lin haters are pathetic, Steve Nash also have high turnovers, why don`t you bash Nash you hater, here`s a video of Lin scoring 38 points in LA, btw none of you watched games of Lin in NY so we know more than you haters.
please no Lin fan compares Lin with Nash... we dont think he is a all star player....or a top player most of us like to root for a underdog... like the rest of the normal people in the world
I'm curious, which Knicks forum are you talking about? and do you have examples of the pure nasty and racist comments about Lin? Most racial slurs I've seen about most athletes are usually Facebook and Twitter comments but that's expected.
I remember reading stuff which has nothing to do with basketball. i guess whitlock maybe started the whole thing. But seriously asians don't have ego issues with the size of their manhood. It works and we got factual proof of it. Heck in China they got to come out with one child policy and it's still the biggest market in the world. But still it's silly.
