Another one...this was from the first person..

 

Jeddah, you may want to quote the link(s) to the source(s) if those were not your own words.

 

Ok, moving on....

Now why is it that whenever we're playing from behind, we lose our composure, panic, and start doing way more than what's necessary? We see it with harden going 1 on 5, and especially tonight with harden out, we saw players doing crap that we've never seen them do in other games? (I'm calling out Morris for the most part, and some failed pg play by delfino). It's like some decided to take it upon themselves to win the game. Personally, I believe, especially with a young team, that the team reflects the coach. Mchale has no clue about how to adjust when things arent going well, and acts erratically with his substitution patterns, and that's exactly how we play when playing from behind. It's frustrating to see.

Also, Jeremy was pretty bad at moving without the ball in this game. I get that he's giving teammates space to creat by standing in corner but sometimes when it's obvious that the ball is not moving, he needs to go to the ball or cut.

Also, His second half performance has everything to do with the wrist. He could only pass effectively. He was blowing simple lay ups and didn't eve nitride shooting 3's. with an injured wrist, I don't blame him for not taking shots. Good thing asg is coming up; time to rest up.

 

Sounds like some fan fiction from some Lin site.

 

sorry..they are from Jlin's fan site..maybe a lot of us here knows that site...the first one is from a member named Stu and the other one is from Cali7...

 

Nope, I believe it's not a fan fiction...albeit the site was mainly for Jlin fans but they provide good insights and perspective of the Rockets and it's players too...

 

yea Pop treats everyone the same, when was the last time you saw McHale go after Harden? or even Beverely. That and Pop has the resume so you can't question him. That's like saying "hey MJ chewed out teammates, so me as Royce White, can call out my teammates!!!"

 

Bro you quoted a person who said they don't know much about basketball...
Please stop.

 

No I never said I know what's going on in McHale and Sampson's sub-conscience. I was just saying that I simply don't like Sampson's reaction (shaking head, dropping files hard on floor in disgust. etc...) whenever any of our players makes a mistakes. That doesn't mean I believe there is an conspiracy against Lin. That's two different thing. And unlike you, I'm not assuming anything. I was just reminding you that don't dismiss everyone who are expressing their opinions about the coaches attitude towards Lin as 'rubbish' as if you know everything already.

Yeah, other people's opinions are all rubbish and yours is the only correct and respected one.

Stop your condescension already. I spent enough time on this site and I rarely find you have comments that show deep and sophisticated knowledge about basketball in general. Using your own words, that's fine and nothing wrong with that. But just get off your high-horse when yourself are no different than them.

I say you are laughable with your assumption and you are proving it right there. How do you know I don't know much about basketball? Do you live next door to me to know everything about me?

Where did I interject drama? All I did was post a comment expressing an opinion that I would prefer Sampson not showing too much of impatience on his face during the games. I think you are the one who interject drama here by accusing people 'rubbish comments' and make it a big fuss when people are simply expressing their opinions in a game thread where everybody just types anything in their minds instantly without much thinking.

"you need to step away from Lin a little bit to get some real perspective. Though Lin is an admirable person with a tough mentality, he's not Jackie Robinson. The world isn't out to get him. Don't take it personally if he doesn't become a superstar like you think he deserves." --- Holy moly, where does that come from? Where in the world did I say Lin is/will become a superstar and is Jackie Robinson??? Where did I ever mention that the world is out to get him??? Are you always assuming people like that??? Jeeeez, you are living in your own bitter cynical world, you need to chill.

 

Meh, it's from a Lin fan site and they always make everything sound melodramatic. Most of it is through their bias eyes interpreting things.

 

You are definitely a woman new to the world of sports.

 

I believe Lin delivered 2 quick passes to DMo deep in the paint holding good positions for 2 assists. In comparison, Beverly hesitated and missed the window to do the same in exactly the same situation.
The moral: Lin is really good at assessing the spacing and chances, i.e. an excellent court vision. All he lacks is a better handle, keeping the dribble alive, and better passing skill while driving.

 

of course you with your high horse and condescension again. Why am I even surprised?

When you have nothing solid argument to counter my two previous post, all you can do is calling people 'know nothing about sports'. yea, right. Why don't you show us how much you know the sports?

 

I can visualize you now... young Asian girl and this is how you argue with your boyfriend. I hope he doesn't forget to give you a Valentine's Day present today.

 

You two are getting too personal .

Not liking McHale's coaching style is okay but thinking there's some sort of conspiracy against Lin without any proof is just silly.

 

owww, you are genius that you know everything about me. Are you pissed because I struck you hard to rebuff your nonsense and you are unable to make any whatsoever counter argument?

When you don't have any solid argument to counter my point in my posts, yea, resorting to name-calling, typical!

 

Sounds like you two just have a misunderstanding that's all.

Cytrynow is talking about the Lin fans that think McHale has some kind of a conspiracy against Lin while you're saying that you just don't like their coaching style.


I don't like all the speculation and fake body language experts that act like they know what exactly is going on.
