    Didn't matter. You can't guarantee playoffs with either of them, let alone championship. So what is the difference?

    In the end, keep them or dump them doesn't make that big an impact on Rox's future, because neither Lowry nor Dragic is a franchise player.

    Criticizing Lin is ok, I criticize him as well and hope he at least plays like a man. But some posters on this BBS trash Lin while treat Lowry and Dragic like some kind of mega stars, it is laughable. That is my point.

    Vs. what threads exactly. There's a lot of negativity recently in the GARM, which usually isn't my posting territory.

    The point I'm making is important, because this team is very young. You can't expect them to have ice-water in their veins or make all the right decisions down the stretch. You expect good energy and good team basketball, and you got that.

    Losing to the Heat in a close one shows their potential more than their deficiencies. Shots will miss from time to time, this ain't 2K on pro mode, it's reality, and it bites sometimes.

    I don't care if the class is almost empty, I say there's still some water in it. Have some faith. It's not a brain you lack afterall, it's heart.

    Go rinse your mouth with soap, then finish your homework. It's past your bed time.

    Are you dumb?

    You must be dumb.

    I honestly don't even know what to say to your incredibly fundamental lack of comprehension and understanding.

    If you hadn't noticed, it's weird to be that religious at his age! It's weird not to have a women at his age. I don't believe it's helping him with all the stress he's under. You can clearly see the stress in his play and off court.

    Lowry was a career backup according to DD and couldn't hit the broadside of the barn

    People shat on Brooks' defense from day one to the day he was traded.

    But criticizing Lin is now a agenda based hate crime or something

    He shouldn't be used as a sharpshooter though. He of all people realizes that he's going to be a sub-40% shooter if he's used in that way, hence his reluctance.

    By leading the rockets to a mediocre record of 40 something wins and not make the playoffs?
    Both players failed, as well as the team. I love Lowry because he's with the rockets for years, but Dragic? What has he done?

    The Rockets restructured Lin's contract to give him more money AFTER he agreed to take less money. When NY said they would match Morey upped the offer. That is how bad Le$ wanted him. Morey's job is to make the bo$$ happy. Les was pissed when Linsanity was happening, but Daryl did what he wanted him to do at the time (save money, and a potential asset in Flynn). The contract looks worse than it is because Dragic was willing to play for Houston for less money and a player option. If Morey quit looking at every player like a trade piece the Rockets would be a great destination for major free agents this off-season like Al Jefferson. That's really Morey's only flaw.

    Didn't you get the memo that Lin is the max contract player and the face of the franchise? Oh wait...

    He's getting paid more than Lowry because Lowry's contract was from 2010. He's getting about the same as Dragic. Dragic is less per year, but the total $30M is more than Lin.

    Hey, we executed the play well, we got the shot we wanted he just missed it. A clanked shot is the same as an airball to me in the last few seconds.

    Yes because Lowry and Dragic were leading the team at that point.

    There was no Scola or Martin!

    Team success is not necessarily a correct indicator of individual talent.

    Kevin Garnett only made it out of the first round ONCE in his first like 10 years in the league. But after he was traded to Boston he won a championship.

    Your arguments are weak.

    Dragic played his a$$ off for those 26 starts or whatever it was and played like one of the best point guards in the league in the process. He played hard and gave it his all everytime he stepped on the floor. That EARNS my respect. Now go to bed.

    maybe weird to a w**** like yourself :eek:
    why do you have to bring his off court matters here?
    taking hate for a basketball player a bit too far.
    or maybe you just don't like him personally?
