    The only thing that matters is if Jeremy keeps improving his game. Improve his shooting, reducing TOs, etc. It looks like he's healthy so let's see how he plays next year, prove all you haters wrong.

    You can't even joke about Harden lol. It will get you in trouble...especially if you're a Lin fan. They assumed that you're a Harden hater. Smh

    Well, I haven't seen you putting the blame on anyone else. All you keep saying is Lin playing was bad, but haven't seen you say anything about how the others played. I mean hardly any of the starters could make shot during that 10 minutes. Lin has weaknesses as everyone on our team. I'd like for all of them to work on theirs as much as I would want Lin to work on his.

    Yea, he deserved to get blame for getting injured....

    Check out the Thunderfans, Bev(nice one BEV) punks Westbrook and the Thunderfans want Bev's blood. to the point the police gets involved.
    Jeremy gets punked by Ibaka. And you blame him. Nice one stay classy.
    Maybe you should thank Ibaka and go shine his shoes while you are at it.

    Its tough love. I would love to see him do well. Just feel like he isn't a 30mill player atm. we really need to see drastic improvements next season.

    The thing with Lin is that he isn't an elite player. The reason Harden gets away with being a not-so-good defender is because he's a top 10 player in the whole league. Lin gets abused by Tony Parker, Russell Westbrook, and Damian Lillard. He is not always able to make up for it with his offense. Harden is. Granted some nights Harden shoots poorly, but if he does he goes to the foul line to put points on the board.

    If Rockets want to be contenders everyone needs to D up including Harden.

    Lol... In the "Harden or Paul George" thread I chose Paul George (who IMO is awesome and handsome) and some hater repped me accusing me of "LOFs have no loyalty".

    Whatever. Haters are just insecured.

    LOL at "abused" by Parker, Westbrook and Lillard. Shame on you Jeremy for scoring only 38, 29 and 22 against them. And that clip that Clutch posted of you taking Lillard to school on National TV? Bad, Jeremy, bad!

    Exactly, some lowly players had career nights on us because of his bad D.

    Scoring is one part of the game of basketball. Playing defense is another. He did drop 38 on San Antonio. How much did Parker have that night? He had 27 points and 12 asts and 12 rebounds! A TRIPLE DOUBLE! Russell Westbrook nearly had a triple double on the night Lin scored 29 on OKC. Also on the night Lin dropped 22 on Portland (BTW I was at this game, good seats too), Lillard did have an awful performance. However it should be noted that Pat Bev played 22 minutes that game, in which most of that time he was locking down Lillard.

    Lin doesn't get a free pass on defense like Harden does. I agree, the Beard does need to play harder on D. Lin has got to be the worst pick and roll defender I've ever seen. Once the pick is set he doesn't even attempt to try and get back on his man. He just lets him waltz all the way to the basket. Which is why Lillard, Parker, Westbrook go off because they're good pick and roll players. If Lin played against Nash in 05, he wouldn't even get playing time because his P&R defense is so horrid.

    I am shocked if you honestly feel this way and have watched Lin play enough to evaluate, but so goes the eye test. By all accounts and metrics, Lin is at the very least an above average defender and by many accounts an excellent defender.

    Please, please stop already, im going to throw up. An above average defender? Haven't heard a worst lie since the singaporian flipped a lion inside out with his bear hands.

    Maybe he actually watches the games, and see who's playing defense.
