    I always thought it was to eradicate this place of those LOFs. I can't believe they still exist and resist their overlord's shortcomings. Are they an endangered species yet? I hope so, I would hate to see one in a game thread. Yuck

    Signing Lin was NOT a mistake, it was a GAMBLE that didn't pan out. We were in full tank mode before we got Harden, hence signing unproven players like Asik and Lin. Then we got Harden and everything changed. If we knew we weren't getting Bosh, I am pretty certain we might have simply kept Lin instead of paying someone to take him off our hands because he was still suitable as a backup behind Beverley as long as we didn't leave him in the game when the game is on the line.

    Sorry, only thing that's fake is your status. Greatness is earned, not self-proclaimed.

    Oh yea, and xenophobia is rough in 2015. But wait, it only gets worse.

    Nope.
    Hakeem status is earned when rockets fans rep other rockets fans here.
    They see there is no harden or Howard or hakeem or houston in your heart.

    No doubt we would have performed worse with Lin handling the ball over whomever else is backing up Terry.

    The only reason we would have kept him is so that he didn't cost us a 1st round pick to ditch. But then again, he is getting paid $7m more than the amount he counts against the cap this season, it is very very possible to simply buy a late 1st round pick for $3m. We could do that and STILL be ahead $4m, and not have to worry about a wild and out of control malcontent.

    I would think that the person who paid $10m over 2 years is not as dumb as the one who is paying $15m over 1 year??

    You have too much misplaced pride in being a 'veteran' of a message board.

    You can't understand being a 99er.
    It's like when hip hop started, you were run dmc or doug e fresh.
    Or when rock n roll started you were the Beatles.

    Sure you can join a band now, but it's not the same when you were part of the Genesis.

    Like say you are joel olsteen, you are a Christian minister,

    We're like Peter, we're the 12 apostles.

    And please, these fake fans stick out easily and they deserve no mercy

    Thanks for the news flash. Silly me, all this time I thought he was the camera man. I'm like, what is the camera man doing, blow pass Westbrook for a layup.

    Good looking out

    Clutch made this site for diehard rockets fans.
    If you joined because of lin, then you betray the gospel of clutch city
