dudes here are posting up like these guys were traded for Lin... or they were let go because the Rox were going after Lin... Biatches pleeeeeeze..... you were going after Howard... he just didnt want to come here...
ok i am out of this thread it's gettign too silly for me - you guys pulling **** from god's knows where, i can't keep track.
<br> The only people that bring up Dragic/Lowry are Rockets' fans. Because we know what we had before Lin. It's very relevant to discussing Lin. And by the way, I'm not a LOH. Lin is a Rockets player and I hope he succeeds. But i'm going to point out the weaknesses of your god. Sorry about it mang. ...wait, no...i'm not. I am a Lin only fan hater though. I should sig that. Hmm, yeah. Def gonna sig that.
You said the reason you not rooting for him because he is not a rocket. I LOLed myself off. I didn't know you were a rocket fans because by your posts and your name, we thought your were a cockriding fangirl.
Who gives a F*** about Dragic/Lowry and what could've been etc? Lets focus on what these guys can do together and discuss THAT potential. Hopefully tonight is just a glimpse and a stepping stone for better things to come, not just from Lin, but from everyone else. But Livingston tho......
I'd love to see some quotes of these people "crediting Lin for each win" of which there is only 1. Since the season began oh... just the other day?
Let me be real for a second with you, people can choose to support any team at any point for any reason they want. You can choose to be a high school cheerleader, and raise your nose to the new fans, or you can cheer with the new fans together. Even if they are overly zealous of one particular player. In the end, if Lin put up ungodly numbers, and Houston lost, I would've been in a sour mood. Lin played solid, and Harden played out of his mind. Victory > Stats The minute Harden was traded to Houston, I became an instant fan of his (was a fan of his in OKC). In the Harden trade thread, I was one of the many people arguing against the idiots that thought that was a bad trade. If you knuckleheads want to make this a LOH vs LOF website, then I will be on the side of LOFs. If you guys all choose to root for the Rockets, and all their players (not former players), I will be rooting with you. Up to you guys.
Let us address the bench... Were all of you as in awe of Tony Douglas' back up skills as mine? What about when Greg Smith showed us his fouling skills? How about all those shots close to the basket they gave up? I think that the Rockets' bench will definitely need some fine tuning throughout this season. The bench, together tonight scored a +/- of a whopping negative five. Will the return of Patterson, and the subsidizing of Greg Smith and Morris remedy this? Will our bench be that much better when Patterson is to be moved to the line up? I am quite worried about this, since tonight we have a stellar starting. I am hoping to see some optimistic views, so what do y'all with the "God Given foresight" say?
These guys are just sad, because their site is evolving. There will be more fans that will come, along with wins (fingers crossed). The old-schoolers of this site will adjust. This is the adjustment period. The old-schoolers (some) want to deviate from the game, to argue nonsense. People hate change.
any what's the title of this thread? Just wait till Lin plays up to his potential Which means he hasn't performed what we believe he can do, exactly what you are saying bro ... He had a solid game but I expect much better. Needs to average a respectable 18/7 this season for fans to get over Lowry/Dragic. agree?
I think he will need to do that for Lowry/Dragic only fans to get over it. Regardless you'll have to keep in mind that Lin hates getting caught up in stats and prefers winning and doing whatever it takes to make sure the team wins. There are several instances of that in his history thus far both in the NBA and in College ~ and comments on the record he made about how he disliked the D-league because people were so focused on stats. I still just want to see the Rockets win and a solid 2nd unit to support a gelled 1st unit. I also want to see Donatas and White ripping the rim off the baseboard.
no its not dude... you Rocket fans seem not to know what the rest of the league knew what your organization was up too... you were going after Howard or going for Lottery... when you couldnt get Howard... you went after Lin.... in no way shape or form do I think Lin is a talent at the Howard level.. the Rox just went after a the guy who might fill a few more seats and create business opportunities for Les in China... and might turn into something in the future... you haters just want to hate and make it more of something that it isnt....
Dude, please stop with this language about cockriding and fangirls. It doesn't add anything to the discussion.
TD - ugly turnovers and inability to drain his shot ~ But noticed his aggressiveness and speed/intensity. I still wouldn't want him on the floor that much if he was playing so poorly. Felt that way about Parsons for most of the game as well - I was MOST disappointed by Parsons.
Look fangirls! The reason we like Kyle Lowry and Goran Dragic because they played for Rockets and showed us everything. Lin haven't done **** for the rockets yet beside tonight, and comparing his plays tonight vs Lowry/Dragic when they were a rockets. Well, we actually like lowry and dragic better. That doesn't mean we hate lin. Lin haven't show us anything yet. We really don't give a damn about what he did for the knicks. We want to see what he is going to do for the rockets then we might worship him like you.
We believe it was a mistake by management to not offer the player option to Goran. We are on a rockets board and we discuss past management decisions as results start to indicate positive or negative gains. You as a lof will not enjoy hearing are opinions on that but you'll need to deal with it because we will be here next year regardless of who is or isn't on the team. You on the other hand can not say the same thing. Lin played better than I expected but it was still just an average performance. Do I see room for improvement? Yes. Does that guarantee he'll end up better than Goran? No.
<br> Thanks for the ultimatum. But see, it doesn't work like that. This isn't a LOF vs LOH thread or anything of that sort. The ability to actually discuss Lin's game without the LOF going into full meltdown mode is rather frustrating. Being real, everyone wants him to succeed. It's just that some people actually call it like it is while others claim that the god (Lin) can do no wrong. Lin does many things very well. His ability to play the PnR is top tier. His ability to get to the basket is surprisingly amazing. His shooting is also pretty good or at least average. His defense is average. He does some things well in the mold that Shane Battier did, but to a much lesser extent. It's not AMAZING like some are claiming. It's average though, but he will always get abused by athletic players. his court vision is also good. The biggest problem with Lin is his turnovers and his tendency at times to turn into a headless chicken with the ball. He seems to get himself into positions where he can't really excel and then ends up turning it over. I think Lin really has to work on that to become an efficient player. So now tell me, which party is at fault? The one that is being realistic or the extremist party who refuses to admit what Lin does wrong?
