[ClutchFans] Rockets to begin season with Beverley, Asik as starters; Jeremy Lin off bench

You can hate on lin for his mistakes. He laid a turd in the third quarter. But you gotta give credit where it's due. He had more than just a couple of baskets. He also had 5 or 6 assists during that run.

 

I'm not "hating" on anyone. I'm just recognizing the fact that he had a bad game.

Everyone has bad games, and everyone will get called out for bad games in an online forum such as this.

 

This is funny, coming from someone who blamed Beverley 100% for the loss. LOL.

 

Lin plays with tons of heart, but I'm hesitant to say that about Asik these days. Those would both be huge losses, though.

 

He had 6 points and 6 assists in 15 minutes during that run.

 

Stop it, clutchfans never take things out of context.

 

That's what makes guys like Doc a great coach. I can't remember which Clippers game it was, but the announcers were talking about how Doc talked to Deandre Jordan about not worrying about getting his touches. Play within himself, and know what his strengths are. He's a rebounder. Those are his touches. He's going to get lob passes. Those are his touches. That's his offense. Quit trying to be something you're not and work on what you're good at. Work hard on defense. Play hard and you'll get a shot at DPOY. Jordan seems happy with that. McHale and his coaching staff are making guys play out of position, making some guys do too much, making other guys do not enough.

 

That was supposed to be a reply to bws. I have no idea why it included langal's post.

 

Great observation!

Again it's coach's fault for not being able to play the strength of his players.

 

Did you forget? If you say anything thats not praising Lin on these forums, you are labeled as a LOH, hater, and a troll.

 

oh yeah ? quote me.

 

did you even watch the game, Man? lol

get a ring first before claiming best SG.

 

You're right, how come those lofs are so unreasonable. Dam them!

 

I don't think the guy you are trying to talk to is the aforementioned, but you certainly are(were?).

 

Do you even understand English?

He said Harden was not the best SG cos he was exposed.

 

Such a LOF post. I don't understand why you can't just calm the **** down. Why are you so bloody bitter about everything! Jesus. Lin has a bad game. Every LOF goes nuts. What he can't have a bad game? Have you ever considered the fact that if we think a performance where he shot over 50% and had 7 assists is a bad game, maybe we had high expectations for Lin. MAYBE! Some of us thinks that Lin could be a star. Maybe the day where we say oh!! look Lin had 8 points and only 1 turnover, WHAT A GREAT PERFORMANCE is the day where we relegated Lin to being a scrub?

Or Maybe? When McHale said that Lin has 29 points and 9 TOS, MAYBE its a backhanded compliment. MAYBE scoring 29 points in the NBA isn't an easy thing? Maybe McHale thinks Lin has the ability to be on Westbrook's level, albeit with Westbrook's recklessless as well. Maybe McHale actually wants Lin to be a scorer, a part of a Big 3 coming off the bench than as a role player?

And lastly, maybe the reason why Lin gets so much hate isn't because of Lin. Maybe it's because of people like you? Maybe all of us are just quietly supporting Lin, and then obnoxious, disrespectful and oh, utterly, utterly bitter fans like you try to validate your own lives and your own failures in life by waging a war against casual fans that just want to enjoy the game of basketball.

Maybe its US. Maybe its McHale, Beverley, Harden, Dwight, Clutch, Clutchfans, Rockets fans, Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, NBA Commentators, James Dolan, Carmelo, CP3 and David Stern himself.

Or maybe, maybe its just you.

 

that's why i still consider Wade better than harden, its basically because wade gives his all on both ends, and that's what he needs to progress to the next level.

Till he does, he will never get a ring, just another melo thinking he's king.

 

Why is the first retort that people don't understand English? I get it - there are a lot of Lin fans that are Asian but check yo racist tendencies.

Go back and read it again - he understood English and the intention of the post was clearly to say Harden was exposed as being the best SG (a play on the original comment of Harden being exposed).

 

Good post. Point taken.

 

LMAO LMAO
