    It was his first playoff game cut him some slack. Greg was invisible out there. Parsons was tentative as well. Harden was pretty awful & Omer was meh.

    So you really think we were going to beat the Thunder ... the second best team in the NBA on their home court?

    we are the youngest team...

    the Thunder turned it on

    If Bev really starts this team would look even worse.

    So far I only see LOH bashing on Lin while LOFs like me defending him. LOFs like me are tooo busy defending him than bashing other players.

    wow. you do realize he came off from an injury? you do understand that harden came along after the summer session;thus, changing lin's role in the team all of a sudden. you do understand that this is lin's first playoff game?

    let him gain his confidence in a playoff game by playing a playoff game. (which is essentially this one, which is his first)

    btw, dont question his heart as well. there are games as well that i could have said the same thing about bev when he was playing sucky. but i never questioned his heart. both these guys have heart.

    gj knee-jerking on the very 1st playoff game of both players.

    what is your purpose on these forums? if all you do is come here and defend Lin even when he does terrible, whats the point of you even posting here? you contribute nothing.

    Lin played terrible, but he didn't single-handily lose us this game. Nobody really stepped up.

    LOF taking the bait. Its obvious one player doesn't single handedly cost you a game which you really never had a chance of winning. Our play was GREATLY affected by his head up ass plays and p***y playing, but he didn't cost us the game.

    Well one could only hope that Lin comes back strong and proves his haters wrong. Just like next year the Boston marathon will be as good as ever, in the next few games I'm sure Lin will redeem himself and play better than he has ever played.

    This is the kind of s*** that makes us Lin fans look bad. Equating the Boston marathon bombings with Lin's performance in a basketball game? Are you out of your mind?

    We have no power forward is the primary issue. We need a PF who is a legit threat and has at least some shot blocking and rebounding skills. Ultimately we'll choose one of the 3 we have and let him develop as the backup. As for Lin he is developing clearly. What skill level he might end up with is an unknown.

    Not beat them but we could've kept it under 10 the entire way which would have given us confidence.

    We can't win when we are GIFTING the Thunder points. It's not like they need our help.

    It's certainly not Lin's performance, the analogy is just on the hatred.

    A 30 point blow out loss is never the fault of just one person.

    he wont make a good back up
    hes better off as a starter, if it doesnt work dont even play him
    cuz hes a floor general
    nothing good comes out of him as a back up

    Sorry for not being clear.

    To clarify: those two haters hate America while their uncle appreciates, irrational and unprovoked hate is very very unhealthy.

    So the kind of hatred that drives a man to detonate a bomb in a crowd of innocents is the same hate that Lin gets? It's a bad analogy, think a little more before you write.

    Bingo. Its like some of you are full r****ds.

    I watched a stretch of D from Bev that was beyond horrible. It started with a fastbreak for OKC with him and Harden backing up and he made no attempt to stop the ball (well this was the theme all night long actually as not only did Westbrook do it over and over, but so did Jackson) to continually reaching in and getting out of position.

    Heres how you homers look.

    Bev - turnover - Nothing said
    Bev - Airball - nothing said
    Bev - Gets torched over and over - Nothing said
    Lin - Misses shot - OMFG you stupid b*stard...wtf is going on in this world...you suck
    Lin - Makes two straight very nice assists driving the lane - No praise
    Bev - Makes a shot "Omg...beast mode" Immediately down the court gets burned again..."LIN WTF"

    This seriously happened. Beverly got beat off the dribble for the umpteenth time and Lin had to slide over to cut off the penetration. Ball gets kicked out to the Corner where Lin runs back out and the moron squad is screaming at Lin.

    Absolutely hilarious. I am waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more upset with the number of times I watched Harden turn the ball over and in the Dunktastic replays saw him standing back on our end making ZERO attempt to get back on D. That is the epitome of lazy.
