    wtf? where did i say any of this. tmac wasn't better than kobe, not even close. mindset is an underrated thing in basketball. and lin is just average at best..

    dude, this might be your most deflective post yet.

    i wanted to know why you wouldn't answer those questions with a yes or no...and this is your reply?

    uhmm, ok.

    do you blame him solely (meaning only him and NO ONE else is worth discussing for poor performances) for losing the playoff series in 07 and 08? or do you blame the team too?

    Why the fark is Lin on the poll. Good or bad he shouldnt be the difference maker.
    We have a max contract player name Harden who expected to performance like a superstar but has played like a dud.

    you are obsessed with the past, not me

    you know the results of what happened, why ask me?

    Jeff Van Gundy got fired, Rick Adelman got hired

    Rick Adelman and Tracy clashed during the year we got Artest, Tracy shut it down for injury reasons, the team SUDDENLY GELS and beats Portland in the playoffs

    McGrady returns, complains about playing time then demands to be traded

    Can't argue it wasn't disappointing. It obviously was.

    Harden was another level of disappointing entirely. He skates by with crappy defense because of his offense, but you take away the offense and the benefit of the doubt drops fast.

    Our 'best' bench player scores 5 points.

    it should be on the poll.

    There is a rule in Clutchfans that Lin needs to be mentioned at least once in every thread, or else the forum will corrupt.

    It doesn't matter any more.

    Mchale is gone.
    Lin is gone.
    The bench will likely be shaken up.
    Parsons' did nothing to merit being kept over melo

    I'm expecting a huge offseason.

    what in 25min as a Shooting guard.
    The difference makers need to be the players who plays the most mins.
    Bev, Parson, Harden and Howard.
    Only Howard play like a superstar is game.

    If I didn't put Lin on the poll, the Lin fans would be mad cause they think i'm ignoring them

    you can't win either way

    According to me our bench player who's suppose to be a badass at scoring, scores only 5 points

    it makes the cut

    Mo Williams played 23 minutes and had 13 points

    that's 2 minutes less than Jeremy and 8 more points

    There's a reason we have a BENCH.

    mo williams is allowed to play his role.

    Most times I see Jeremy Lin, Harden is there as well.
    Why not bench Harden if he is cold.

    answer the question. its a yes or no question.

    stop deflecting.

    and cmon bro. im obsessed with the past? who isn't. we're all bball fans. aren't you too? didn't you just post a video with clyde drexler 95 version? isn't that the past too? game 2 against the blazers is now in the past too. let's not mention that. i know the chip years are a good past, but we gotta acknowledge there's a bad past too. look bro, im not saying tmac wasn't a diva, again i don't care for him once he got traded to the knicks.

    ok, so you won't answer the question though right? with a yes or a no?
    are you not capable of that?

    Who's fault is it when Jeremy Lin misses a shot?

    1. the Rim
    2. Kevin Mchale
    3. Jame Harden
    4. God
    5. Jeremy Lin

    pick the right answer

    If anybody is to blame it's Harden and his no show in the playoffs and Mchale's lack of a strategy for LMA. Case closed and nothing and nobody is gonna overshadow jack.

    Drexler 95 was an educational video of what a championship guard does

    Rockets history is filled with great moments

    Teams win or lose series, but the best players of the teams are responsible for the majority of the team's success

    here's an example

    I guess you don't understand this thread.

    show me where I said "Jeremy Lin is solely responsible for the team's loss"

    One thing I notice about Lin fans, reading comprehension is not very good
