If Lin is consistently inconsistent, that means we should have an easy W tomorrow. Well to be honest, I'd be really disappointed if we don't win even if Lin shoots 6/7 again.
Dude I specifically remember rafer sucking it up and costing us games. He sucked and his tear drop was straight up garbage.
Rafer was pretty important to the team though. Remember the 2008 playoffs? Missed the first two games and we lost both at home. Came back for three games and went 2-1. Left with the injury in the 2nd half of game 6 during a close game and we got blown out.
Rafer did not have a good enough supporting cast in Houston. When he had a good supporting cast in Orlando he took them to the NBA Finals.
Rafer was garbage. I remember him shooting us out of quite a lot of games. He was always a liability. And before someone posts that LA game during the win streak, I remember that too. But I also remember all the bad moments. Overall, he was a net negative. Much like Lin. Streaky players are the most frustrating. I don't like them. Rafer and his broke tear drop defined that for me. It's also no coincidence that the team became much better when Brooks and Lowry took over for him. He was just bad. Same thing happened with Lin except this time with Bev and Canaan.
That doesn't mean that Rafer and Jeremy Lin were in any way similar. They were COMPLETELY different players. Rafer has MUCH BETTER HANDLES. Why not say tacos and hamburgers are the same?
Rafer was important that series because we literally had no other offensive option other than Tracy McGrady who was averaging like 30/10/10/2/2 that series. A first year Carl Landry was the second best option we had. That team was decimated once Yao went out...again.
Sorry man. Love the Rockets. Cheered for him when he was here. But Rafer was terrible. It was a great day when Brooks took over. And then it was even more sweet given Brooks' performance in the playoffs.
There were 2 Rafers. There was one who jacked up lots of shots in the JVG offense, and there was one who penetrated the lane with Rick Adelman. Rafer with Rick was the best Rafer. I remember you SKIP.
Their games were quite different. Rafer better handles, lin better at finishing at the rim but they both sucked and could drive you insane with their inconsistencies.
Omg. I hated rafer. Made me want to stab my eye balls out watching him bounce up and down and drove into the lane for the worst shot in basketball..his awful tear drop.. Think it was against the jazz where he just sucked it up bad..guess he was better than black hole John Lucas III and the other crap we had at PG tho
Rick the Ruler let Rafer be Rafer, JVG made Rafer a spot up shooter, which he wasn't <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/-Kit2BcAfL8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
