    This thread is kinda like group therapy. We need it, but I am kinda surprised at how long it's taking to get over it all.

    This is basically my favorite website. And it's connected to my favorite team. I get a lot of enjoyment from the Rockets and this website. I really feel a significant number of Lin fans trashed up this board like it was a Youtube comment section and were a bad influence on the culture of this board. Since when did being a fan become b**** b**** b****? Let them take it to Kobe's fans. The only thing better would be if both Lin and Parsons had gone to the Mavs, since the only team I root against more than the Lakers is the Mavs.

    I want to enjoy the Rockets, OK? All of the personnel. Am I dick for that? On the Clutchfans website? OK. Lin fans were divisive and hostile to parts of the Rockets organization. Why? This website seems more oriented toward support than criticism.

    I'm one of Lin's biggest supporters, & honestly hope the guy does well. He is a decent kid, humble & if given a decent opportunity has shown that he has the ability to be a game changer...(unfortunately for us, his turnovers usually were a negative game changing experience!)

    He needs to work on his ball handling, decision making skills & be more aggressive on offence.

    I was a little sad to see him go, especially for so little in return...but I'm rejoicing that the rabid LOF's have more or less disappeared. It feels great to read the GARM, even with all of the knee jerk reactions, without having to endure the pages of Lin excuses (*he turned the ball over because Harden should've been there, *McHale doesn't like Lin so he makes him shoot from positions on the court that Lin is uncomfortable with, *Lin was made the 6th man because the NBA is racist & don't want an Asian MVP....etc, etc, etc) , cherry picked & warped stats (Points Per 48 mins...lol) & the Race card being pulled if you didn't bow down & praise every move that Jeremy Lin did.

    Good Luck Jeremy Lin, I hope you succeed in Basketball & Life, but thank goodness the Ship of Fools, that was the Lin Only Fans crowd, has sailed onto LALA Land...a match made in heaven.

    I always want the Lakers to fail.

    They have the #1 most obnoxious fans on Earth.

    The Lakers have been failing for a few years already.

    But let's be honest, most Rockets fans are not watching them this year to see them fail, but to see Lin fail. No need to lie about it.

    they don't need to watch the lakers to see Lin fail, they just have to just remember his entire tenure here

    Let's not forget there's a dude named KOBE who is fun to watch.

    Is it me , but it looks like the Lakers are trying to tank. When the other team gets a lead BS does not call a time out. From my observation they want to keep that pic from Pheonix. And he's not adjusting players out there. Lin was good with PNR with Davis but he's not getting any of those during the regular season. They could when some games if they set screens for Johnson or an open man on the perimeter. Just saying....

    I will be honest. I didnt. But only because Kobe was MIA. If he was, I would have.

    Thats true. They are just plain sloppy. They sometimes look like a bunch of 10 Year olds playing for the first time in front of thier parents. LOL.

    I love watching Kobe crash and burn.
    Will wait for him to just take 50 shots per game and struggle to get 30.
