Why the term "LOH" should never be used (LOFs, listen up)

Hey LOFS listen the F. up, know basketball, and stop making statements that PISS me the F. off in your internet posts!

noooo swolly!

 

LOF does not exist either.

Even Lin's mom cannot be LOF because she has two other sons to root.

 

Hey look, another pointless thread targeted at an non-existing group of people so another group of people can circlejerk each other in celebration.

 

chances are her other two sons are also called "Lin"

 

I beg to differ. Read the comments on a Rockets Facebook post sometime.

Or, don't. You might be better off that way.

 

Response

Agree. I am a Lin fan but also a fan of Bev. I think we should stop using both LOF and LOH terms.

 

Apparently LOH is a gaming clan lol.

You can live in "metropolin" of Houston, and I will live in "metropolitan" of Houston.

 

You just used it.

 

Both are valid terms. You are stupid. I have been a fan of the rockets, but I do not like Lin. The only way I know how to put the other in an example is; I am a kobe fan but I actually hate the lakers as an organization. So I wold be a KOF... Stop making threads.

 

This whole thing is so stupid I've stayed out of it, but I've had enough. Are you seriously trying to make this into a an argument over semantics? Only one of LOH or LOF is actually even a tangible possibility. I'll let you figure that one out for yourself. It is fact that people follow Jeremy exclusively. Hell, I know people that started watching the NBA and only do so to follow Jeremy. However, I'm still scratching my head as to exactly what a LOH even is. Someone who began watching basketball when Jeremy Lin started playing just to hate him? You guys are doing it wrong. If you really thought people solely joined Clutchfans to hate Jeremy Lin, and want to conveniently ignore the fact that many of these members have been here for upwards of a decade while most people making these accusations joined the year Jeremy became a Rocket, wouldn't it be better to jut say Lin Hater? Lin only hater is just stupid. It doesn't make any sense and you look stupid saying it.

I spent way too much of my life telling people that Jeremy wasn't as great as people thought he was during Linsanity. I backed everything up with numbers. At the very least I wanted to see him play an entire year before comparing him to the likes of Chris Paul like many at the time started to do. What I got in response was hatred and anger as if I was personally insulting not only Jeremy, but the fans themselves. Mind you, this was during the time that Jeremy was on the Knicks. Now why would any true Rocket's fan root for a team that was in danger of missing the playoffs while we had their first round draft choice? I mean, I couldn't believe how many people were actually ecstatic that Jeremy essentially moved us from a top 8 pick to Royce White. At that moment I saw the true colors of the board and saw who the real Rockets fans were.

I figured it was stupid to argue with the culmination of middle schoolers, people who have never followed basketball, people who cant seem to understand that Jeremy is not an allstar, people who want our top 5 player in James Harden's role to be compromised, people who are moronic enough to even suggest McHale wants his starting point guard to fail, people who actually celebrated when Harden got injured, (this actually happened) or people who only watch basketball for one player. The meaning of a [ ] only fan. So I stayed out of it. I didn't rub it in anyone's nose when Jeremy did not play up to his contract, nor his role.

I wish Jeremy the best. I enjoy his presence on the team. He's a Rocket and I support the Houston Rockets. I hope he comes back next year stronger than ever. We are going to need him to be great if we have championship aspirations and I feel like he can do it. He looks like he's in great shape and I know he's a motivated hard worker. The fact of the matter is, last year he was the highest paid player on the team and Patrick Beverly outplayed him on a minimum contract after being brought over from the freaking Euroleague. There is no excuse for failure in sports, there are only winners and losers. The Rockets invested a good sum of money in Jeremy and he did not deliver. He couldn't shoot to save his life for most of the year, he avoided contact, he turned the ball over way, way too much, his defense was not nearly as people made it out to be. As if some steals justified being terrible in almost every facet of the game. Having freaking Tony Douglas play in crunch time should really tell you something.

The problem is that telling the truth to someone who adamantly (for whatever reason) supports Lin, is like making a personal insult to that fan. The first thing these people need to do is dissociate themselves from one player. Its not healthy. Even the most die hard fans know when their teams need improvement. As a starting point guard in the NBA, Jeremy Lin CANNOT pass up open looks repeatedly. As a starting point guard in the NBA, Jeremy needs to hit a jumpshot consistently, unless he is Rajon Rondo. Unfortunately for Jeremy, he is no where near that type of player on the defensive end where he still needs much more improvement, nor is he truly an assist magnet when he sets an NBA record for turnovers. All the while, more often than not, amassing totals of 6/2/3 and getting benched in crunch time. Are you people serious? Is that really what we need out of a starting point guard and is that really worth 8 million dollars? Its no secret Jeremy has negative value around the league right now. Lin fans not only take every fact as an insult, but vehemently make excuses for everything. No more excuses this is the NBA you succeed or you fail. Jeremy knows it, he knows he has to do better. He's said it countless times. His fans don't get it. Instead, anyone who just says "Gee Jeremy had another bad game, Gee, Jeremy needs to cutdown on the turnovers and stop passing up open shots. Gee, Jeremy got burned by another point guard", are labeled "Lin Only Haters' for not only making an accurate statement, many times backed by numbers and facts, but also for taking a vested interest in the team and it's direction. Like I said, many of these people have been around for a very long time. Someone who clearly joined when Jeremy did, think they know better? It's obvious these people don't care about the rockets. They will throw everyone under the bus in light of factual evidence and numbers, making the most outrageous accusations. I mean isn't it a little embarrassing to be resorted to that?

Im sick and tired of this, and it just gets more bizarre. Lin fans should take Jeremy's advice and have a modicum of accountability, because its just sad to watch. I feel sorry for you all, I really sincerely do. Let's all hope Jeremy comes back with a fire under his ass because we are about to have a special few of years in front of us. Either he steps it up or he needs to be traded. Simple as that. As much as I like Jeremy and want him to lead this team to a championship, the latter wouldn't be so bad considering all of these idiots would get out of my favorite website on the planet.

 

this will be a long ugly thread, popcorn ready

 

I'd say both terms are valid when used properly and correctly describe a person's behaviour. The problem is a lot of times they're used just for the sake of name-calling.

 

So does LOL stand for Lin Only Lover? a.k.a. Parsons?

 

Rockets only fan right here

 

You shouldn't have held it in.

That was a giant post.

 

The title of this thread is hilarious to me.

 

you make no sense? yup.

lin plays for the rockets so it makes sense for lin fans to be here.
