    Lin is showing that the LOFs were right all along. Posters like you get annoyed that they actually think he's good. Well guess what? He is good and proves fools like you wrong every game.

    Stupid. Just stupid.

    Why do you think Lin is coming off the bench? He can go in there and do his thing

    SamFisher, never throw the baby out with the bathwater. Your full r****d colors are showing. There are a lot of reasons to get rid of a player but their fanbase is not one of them.

    Although getting rid of Lin seems like the obvious answer to the question. If you have to get rid of one, who do you get rid of? It really depends on what you can get in return. If you can get Paul George for Harden, then Harden is the answer. In general, its harder to improve over Harden because he is a top 10 player. Harden is a little banged up right now and is not playing as efficiently as he can so emotions are running high on a team that is still trying to gel.

    The dislike of LOFs and Lin is a little bit like the dislike for Obama by Republicans. They claim that its because of Obamacare put in the end the majority of them really hate him because he is black.

    If your angry about something, look in the mirror. It probably means you don't get enough pu**y.

    Yeah we should have also gotten rid of that Asian center back in the day too. Those YOFs were annoying as hell too. That center turned out to be such a bust anyway. At least we would've had some peace in the GARM. #umokbro

    That's what Lin got after having a great game: trade him.

    Amazing fans.

    Let's please not conflate personal politics into this discussion. As if Lin isn't polarizing enough... :mad:

    So you want to run Lin full time at SG after the defensive embarrassment last night.

    1. Lin can get back to the bench as 6th man and Parsons could start.
    2. George is one of the best wing defenders in the league and could easily guard the hottest opposition wing player.

    Harden for George makes the Rockets so much better simply because George is the much better player. We have no problem putting up points. The issue is on D and George is 100 times the defender Harden is

    It also works for Indy as they need a 2nd ball handler but I doubt they would take Harden for George as they know Harden is the inferior player while George the better and younger player.

    how do you even quantify that Paul George is 100 times the defender Harden is?

    are you saying if George allows his opponent to score 10 pts then Harden allows his opponent to score 100 pts?

    It was obviously an exaggeration but I hope you get the point.

    That's only 10 times better, brah. George is 100 times better so Harden gives up 100 pts for every point George gives up.

    yeah george is "100 times" a better defensive player and harden "100 times" a better offensive player

    but after 7 games this season watching the pacers and rockets your convinced that replacing Harden with George will give Rockets "100 times" better chance to win a ring this year?

    Look the Rockets have never had trouble putting up points. Problem has been on D and George is an elite wing defender who will help immediately. Not to mention he is a very good offensive player.

    George is the better player and better fit.

    No we get your point, people are just trying to show you how stupid it is.
