    Ah yes, admiring another man's money. That's beyond sad.

    Dang Lin haters won't just stop. If Rockets are sucking, Lin haters gotta come in here to bash on a player irrelevant to our playoffs.

    I am so happy to see Jeremy Lin thread bring joy to people as always.

    Right now the distraction is kind good for everyone since the series going on is a disaster.

    If getting rid of Lin makes Rox better, they should just sign him this summer and get rid of him again and see if it solves problems such as moronic coaching, Haren shrinking under pressure and Howard never caring for anything.

    Howard actually cares. The thing is, with such poor perimeter defending, he has to contest the dribbler, leaving Jordan open. Weakside defender has to rotate over, but our players are too dumb or slow to rotate and it ends up as an alley oop.

    Dwight has been the only one visibly pissed every game. He's the only person who is defending. As soon as Dwight came back, everyone else seemed to think they could stop playing defense.

    It's probably Lin's fault, though. He's somehow causing the Rockets to lose.

    Lin would probably put some decent effort into perimeter defending and would take the pressure off of Harden in this Clippers series. He would create shots for others but not so much help score much.

    Any undrafted player would consider Lin's career a success.

    How often do undrafted players have multiple seasons of averaging double digit points?

    Oh please that's not sad, the mood on CF is worse than sad, it's depressing. "Don't worry it will be over soon!"

    Yes you are, truly. Clearly you're projecting. It's OK, you are allowed to, and why not, I mean, who wouldn't.

    It is absolutely Lin's fault. The ball was sticky. Also, we needed singles and he's trying to hit home runs.

    That's fair. Relative to undrafted players he's a success. Relative to the average NBA player he's just mediocre though.

    That being said if Lin is available for Smoove money I'll welcome him back as a bench option that doesn't close games.

    Ha!

    Typical Duncan.

    Always eager to jump in and defend Lin's honor.

    Yes, he puts a lot of effort into jumping past opponents, who are in the act of taking a three. Another one of those dumb reaction plays he is prone to.

    Well Jeremy Lin isn't on the Rockets anymore, what's our excuse for getting spanked 3 times now?

    why nitpick a barely mediocre players faults when the Rockets prehistoric PG tandem is letting austin freaking rivers look like an allstar

    we really miss Beverley right now, and we sure as hell could use Lin.

    the coach has gone yolo mode with the hackaJordan. all i want is they be remotely competative in the game, but apparently thats too much to ask for

    Its because Lin exists. Until he is destroyed, the Rockets curse shall endure.

    We're lacking Jeremy Lin's stellar perimeter defense.
