It happened 3 games straight for Lin in crucial time of the game, luckily Troy saved his ass in game 2. Maybe McHale will grow some balls, n not let Lin be on the floor in last 5 minutes, our chances of winning would go up by at least 50%
I too am pissed with Lin's performance and I don't expect him to be here next season....but some of you guys are taking this too damn far. Smh...
2013/2014 has really been bad for Houston's sports. Our hopes were high with the Texans, n Matt scrub Schaub happened, n now Lin is doing the same thing, basketball pick's 6, when the game is decided by on possesion.
Not me baby! I am sick of giving him the ole "benefit of the doubt" for 2 years now. He sucks plain and simple. He is NOT an NBA 1 or 2 guard. We better make that our priority in the off season. period.
What's depressing is watching Lin try to play basketball. Sorry, it is not depressing it is rage inducing. What is depressing is realizing the POS Lin is stuck with us for possibly another season. That is depressing. Real Houston Rockets fans are easy to spot. Matt Thomas is killing Lin on the radio right now. Lin is getting off way too light so far in my opinion. There hasn't been unrest in the streets yet. I used to live in Philly. Players who did what Lin did would get death threats (not from me) when I lived in that town. I haven't heard of any yet here in H-town for Lin.
Question is why didn't McHale call the TO as soon as Lin pull down the rebound or when he see someone trying to steal the ball from Lin.
The one thing you can't have if you want to play PG in the NBA is low basketball IQ, and Lin has that in spades. He almost cost us Game 3, and he certainly cost us Game 4 with his inability to understand circumstances. Taking it all the way back to Game 1, this team's lack of maturity in the closing minutes of a game is astounding. McHale has no concept of how to push the correct buttons to seal a victory. It starts with him, and ends with Lin.
Sorry but baloney. The TEAM had instructions to push it forward or call time out ! He had the freakin ball. SImple throw ahead to parsons, or simple two arms over ball Time out signal. Not Rockets science here. A headless chicken...thats what Jeremy becomes when the pressure goes up. Dump him ASAP !
Is there any chance we could get Mavericks coach, maybe he won't wanna go through rebuilding, assuming Mavericks are headed that way soon.
Isn't it going to be an issue trying to dump Lin before next season? His money is guaranteed and he counts $8 mill against the cap. Unless we can trade him (who would want him at that price? or, we would have to pay part of his contract as part of the trade I imagine), then I think he will be on the team next season. Can someone explain the hit we take if we just outright gave him his release? It would only be a partial cap hit in that scenario...correct? It's still going to be a high price to release him if we can't trade him. I full well expect he will be here next season for another go. And, I expect the team will be much better having had a full off-season to practice together.
You and everyone here can blame Lin for every lost But everyone in the media will blame harden and howard Just so you know Lin has more points than Parsons in the 4th Quarter and overtime It doesn't make you mad that our 6th (lin) and 7th(troy) option are counted on more than our 3,4 and 5th option when the game is on the Line, isn't that telling of a bad coach and bad clutch players Can you tell me 1 thing bev or Parsons did in OT that helped the team
Since yesterday, you have posted nothing but veiled threats to a Rockets player. Shame on you. As much as I dislike Lin as a player now, you have gone way out of bounds. I hope Clutch bans you soon.
I don't give a CRAP about outside fans lurking here. I care about my Houston Rockets. For 42 years. You have no place calling people bigots. Or ignorant. There is, amongst the truly uniformed and casual fans, a ton of credible and knowledgeable people who post here. It has reached the "no turning back" point on the Lin experiment. Yes, the dam has burst on Clutch Fans. 2 years of rope, just enough as they say. He is damaged goods. He needs a sports psychologist. And maybe Calvin Murphy's summer camp for basics of basketball in game CHANGING situations. But mostly, he needs to go away ! He IS the DISTRACTION !
