    Tell you what. I'll quit posting in this thread to ask you to stop posting in this thread if you will stop posting in this thread, so it can die. Deal?

    NO DEAL lol. I am vested in this thread, you are not. Anyway, when you got guys like Crytrynowa, Superstar, Bobbythegreat and others running around trolling Lin fans in every thread they can find, this is where I draw the line. If they attack me, I give it back. Don't see anything wrong with that.

    Well since you got going on it.... The person you quoted never used the words bath salts, so that was just you putting quotes on something that you personally typed (for some reason people on this forum think that by putting something in quotes, it makes it so that they never used those words...)

    I would think it was obvious that I was just saying I think what you are typing is crazy and implying that you were, in fact, on the bath salts you referenced to have posted it. So pro inference ability homie.

    I just hope Jeremy decides to actually take his wide open 3 pointers tonight and stop passing up the best shot of our offensive sets. Has anyone seen the way that his defender plays help side? The person flies around in anticipation of a defensive rotation and leaves Jeremy wide-****ing-open. People who think "OMG McHale will get angry if he shoots wide open shots because of this one quote" are unrealistically and pathetically clinging on to one drop of water (this quote) in an ocean (all of McHale's other quotes on Jeremy).

    Posts like this is the reason why its alive. First no context whatsoever would justify the choice of his words. Misspoke? Yes, Context? Nope

    Actually, I did say "bath salts." :)

    Just a joke, though.

    Did anyone tell you that you should read some comments before you post? You are embarrassing yourself by making this comment without even doing your homework to check if what I said "I was quoting" is true.

    Since you are so lazy, I'll do the work for you. Below comments, which I was quoting and replying, are all from this thread, just a few pages back. You can read, can you? :rolleyes:

    Can I give you a nice suggestion? If you don't read enough comments/threads and don't know what's going on, don't post, you will save yourself from a lot embarrassment in the future.

    Soooo, why is this embarrassing again? I just said the quote that you put up didn't have anything in it about bath salts (it didn't...) and that putting something in quotes doesn't alleviate your responsibility for using the words, whether or not someone used it in the past. If you go back in this thread I'm sure you could put thousands of words/phrases in quotes...

    I think people here are generally sick of the degradation of the quality of arguments with the influx of new fans (most of them just so happen to be JLin fans). It seems these threads get 1,000 similar posts and 100,000 views in a matter of days, but threads about our TEAM being on ESPN or other outlets barely get 4 pages of discussion. It's monotonous and ultimately repetitive. So the fervor and zealotry for one person and not the team (us vs. them) seems ingratiated in every single stupid argument here. I thoroughly enjoy Jeremy as a human being and I hope the kid succeeds in a way that he didn't even think possible at this point, because I want this TEAM to win and its players to succeed.

    One last thought... Why can Jeremy handle being benched in the 4th quarter, disrespected by ESPN, or questioned about his offensive weaknesses with such class, respect, and dignity, but his fan base can not? Just take a queue from him and follow the example he is laying down.

    This is a very good question! People who tried really hard to defend McHale here bases their reason mainly on "Rockets' winning record does not lie". But that is to assume the winning record is, by and large, due to McHale's excellent coaching. In my opinion, the winning record is due to the beauty of the system and how it matches our personnel.

    But should this be attributed to McHale or Morey? I don't know, honestly: I don't have enough information. And I recommend honesty to others too. But there are things I can definitely attribute to the coach, namely, substitutions, rotations, matchups, and how he treated players on-court and off-court. Why shouldn't these things be the primary basis for us fans to evaluate the coaches?

    wow, you are very desperate, aren't you? Even the poster from whom I quoted just replied to you right above admitting that she did use that words.
    You are not blind, are you?
    Save your lecture for yourself. Nobody cares about what YOU think about Lin fans. You are not the police commissioner of the internet. It is not your house, not your websites. You don't get to say who should post, what can be posted, how many can be posted here. Nobody forces you to read any threads/comments related to Lin. If you don't like what you see, get out of this thread. You have the choice to not click these kinds of threads and go to those pure basketball threads. But nooooo, you prefer to stay here b****ing.

    By the way, how do you know we Lin fans don't talk about basketball issues? Have you read all my/our comments to know that? How do you know that I have a problem with Lin on bench in 4th Q? (why do you even mention that when nobody was not talking that issue in this thread?) You are assuming way too much, mister. You already embarrassed yourself in your last post by assuming I was quoting without evidence. Just stop.

    credit goes to morey and les on getting the players. credit goes to les for style of play. credit goes to mcfail/sampson for bad decisions costing the team some close games. also credit mcfail for wasting so many possessions on aldrich and ppat.

    While Smith and McHale liquor up ,McHale gladly ask him :"Do you know who is the boss in rockets?"
    Smith :"Boss is Harden!"
    McHale :"NO!"
    Smith:"must be LIN!"
    McHale:"Wrong!"
    Smith:"Maby Delfino?"
    McHale angry:"NONONO¡_¡_"
    Smith:"is it possible that I am the boss?"
    McHale fall in a faint.

    Really? What rationale is that? Lin can handle it because he has to! or he gets fired/traded like Lowry, we fans on the other hand are venting in a forum, why do I have to keep quiet if Lin was dissed on by his coach in a public forum (now, dont go context on me again).
