    Numbers are statistics. You can bend it anyway you want them to.

    Alex L just pointed out while Lin was on the floor, Mayo scored 7 points. While Toney the Big D was him, Mayo dropped 31 points.

    The last two baskets were inexcusable. Not coming around a screen on the three and the final dagger - allowing Mayo to waltz in for an uncontested layup.

    What's your reason for hating a Rockets player so much?

    True "LOH's" are few and far between on this forum. Most are just Rockets fans who hoped that Lin would be successful and were dissapointed.

    And many posters are upset at the throng of new fans that Lin has brought to the forum, as most of these "fans" couldn't care less about the Rockets. They only care about Lin's success.

    Scrub Delfino played 35 minutes. Why? He's a fifteen minute guy tops.

    I'd like to know where "Alex L" got the stats, I'd appreciate a link. It sounds rather dubious that Mayo only scored 7 with Lin on the floor. Considering Lin was in the game most of the first quarter and Mayo had 22 in that quarter.

    Douglas wasn't there because he was fouled on the last play.

    And when Mayo drove to the basket the second time, Harden was forcing Mayo baseline and anticipating that the Rockets were running a trap. But just poor team defense on that play.

    Either you are being sarcastic or you are very much naive. The Lin Haters are as bad or worst then some of the Lin Only Fans.

    Don't really know why? but my reason for getting angry at lins benching was seeing 3 years of TD, the Kid is not good a b-ball, just my opinion

    I find it funny that when i go to GS forum nobody calls me a Curry only fan, or a Barnes only fan, because I critic other players in Houston as well as Lin, I get called a LOF

    Again, to anyone that isn't biased/doesnt have an agenda while posting here, it has been made clear that Douglas is not a better defender. He's also not a pg

    Can't speak for others, but I believe that a majority of games this season Lin has played better than Douglas. Just not tonight.

    Go and find the post where I tried to argue that Lin's +/- being superior to Douglas' "didn't mean anything."

    Not true. No such thing as "Lin's success" if the team is failing.

    There are a few trolls yes. But many reputable posters on here have been dissapointed with Lin's play, and they aren't "LOH's."

    There is this thing on NBA.com called a play by play. Shocking, I know, but they break it down by quarters. Mayo scored five in the first while Lin was on, eleven after Douglas checked in. You're welcome.
