    Rockets legit lost the Clippers and Nets games. This game was on crap refs.

    The poster doesn't understand that. I already mentioned that it is amateur analysis earlier in this thread

    Lin was fine. Made stupid plays, but so did harden and Parsons .There just wasn't nearly enough effort overall. There was a nice stretch, but outside of that, there was very little ball movement or energy.

    I love the rockets. Unfortunately I feel like Lin has become the scapegoat for everything ever since I joined this forum

    You have no authority in what is "amateur analysis".

    Neither do I.

    Stop acting like people ignored you. It's more like people don't value your opinion.

    I hate how Lin defers so much to Harden. I think that's why he plays so unconfidently. He's scared to shoot or make plays.

    Look at the end of the third, Lin and Canaan (who has similar issues but he's a rook so there ya go) were playing without worry. They are both players who need to take the opportunity when it's open. Technically, our system is perfect for the both of em.

    However, when we slow it down and hand the ball off to Harden, things of course stagnate and Lin is stuck catching and shooting which he is DREADFUL at.

    :(

    I suspect that when posters have a bad day on the job or at school they can't wait to blame Lin for their troubles.

    No it's not, it's about the reality of the play and the situation. That's how the game was called the entire time and you are expected to know better if you are Lin. Part of the game is recognizing those situations. The fact that you are even trying to deny how you suck Lin off on every post in the GARM is hilarious. Calling my 7 posts per day out (cry me a ****ing river) is better than 100% Lin biased posts you spew. We get It, you're Benghali and want to support an Asian player, but don't act like you don't have a bias. I actually admit that I like your posts in the D&D but you have become too stupid to stay outside of my ignore list in the GARM.


    Welcome to ignore moron.

    LOL so many Lin hates again. Anyway back to the real issue for this game...

    -Chemistry between Harden and the rest of the team without Howard and Bev is quite non existent on both offense and defense

    -Lots of energy wasted on running around with no real direction due to the lack of chemistry and is compounded by turnovers and missed shots as a result which then drops the intensity of this team.

    -Lin and Harden should not really play together in long stretches. Lin is a solid/good PG if he is able to run the offense, that is his natural habit, with Harden his role changes to be a hybrid PG/SG which is where he gets in trouble. Bev is so important in this team, because he compliments Harden and Lin compliments the bench (i.e. without Harden)

    -DMO and his dumb fouls in the past few games. Could have used more minutes from DMO today.

    I don't blame Lin for my troubles. I just blame him for my impotence.
