ClutchFans Game Thread: Mavericks @ Rockets 12/8/2012

yet this forum was active before lin

 

Because its New York and because probably most of the people that followed him are Asian

 

Basketball reasons

 

Enough of that McHale put Toney Douglas out there because he's a better defender crap.

Mayo scored 7 points with Lin on the floor, 31 points with Douglas on the floor, and 2 when both Lin and Douglas were on the floor.

 

tbh brooks vs lowry had just as much polarity

 

It's hard to understand the fan clubs. I can see Kobe has a fan club. I can see LBJ has a fan club. Who is Lin to have a fan club?

In fact, I'll bet that not one player on the Houston team since Yao left even has a strong fan following.

I really don't think that's a good thing for Houston.

 

Basically Dreamweaver is wondering why the Dragic fans aren't DOF's for all their proclaimed love for him.

I think it's simply that they like Dragic MORE than Lin, but they don't really like Dragic all that much in the first place. Kinda like how people are propping up Tony Douglas so much simply because they want Lin to stay on the bench.

 

can you tell me why Parsons shoots fadeaway 3s when he's wide open

For a young player Parsons is a Battier type, without the good defense, maybe he will get better on the defensive side

Kid could be a dependable roleplayer, but to say he will be anything more is being a little Homeristic( yeah i just made up a new word)

 

Looking back at his games, the first 2 games he came out and was shooting and passing. From the 3rd game on, he was a pass first PG. That pretty much only happens if the Coach asks you to do that as otherwise you go with your first instincts.

As for TD, I know in an interview Morey said that TD was going to play the SG role to Harden's PG when they were on the court together.

I have the feeling the Coaches still don't know what they want to do with this line up.

 

this game hurts....

Stay away from the games for some weeks' in order to get a merry christmas....

 

There isn't any real LOF or LOH here, just trolls trolls and more trolls, some old, some new. Old trolls have always existed on CF even before Lin, Lin has simply activated their beast modes.

 

Damn I was watching the UFC so I missed most of the game. How come Asik and Lin only played for 20 mins? You paid these guys tons of money so try to develop and instill confidence in them, not benching them. SMH.

 

I don't think that's the case. For example, many of the Yao fans on this forum didn't like Lin.

 

There's zero truth in this statement....only your opinion. Lastly, there is also no truth in my statement as well since it's only my opinion.:grin:

 

LOL Rapt Fans want BC's Head on a stick

Poor lowry kid didn't deserve to be a Raptor

 

Just hard for me to believe that since TD takes shots whenever he wants. It's like even when Lin drives, he doesn't look to score.

 

Maybe the very few...um... extreme ones? I mean, there are always folks on the opposite end of the spectrum.

I'm your typical Lin fan (followed him from NY, joined after July) and I can tell you I'm fuming over the loss. FUMING. Losing a game you're supposed to win is one thing, losing it to a team in your own division?!?! I hope this game doesn't come back to haunt us as a tie-breaker of some sort come playoff time.

 

Lin was a -9 and Douglas was a +2.

Rockets were a better team when Douglas was on the floor. Numbers don't lie.

 

Props to you for effort.

 

The comment I saw was after the lost, someone was happy that the lost could not be blamed on Lin. That is a natural reaction after seeing Lin being blamed for every loss. Bottom line, LOHs started it.
