    Haha, you caught me, but they did win without him. Amirite?

    (I really didn't dislike Lin until his fans made the game about him. Then Lin ruined himself for me with the Melo incident. Rockets first, players gotta add to what's first to get the love. Yao Ming, Deke, and Hakeem 4LIFE!!!!)

    If you ask me, the odds of the Nets winning the championship is 0%. If everybody agreed with the odds given by oddsmakers, there would be no one betting money, because mathematically there would be no edge in betting with odds you agree with.

    They don't teach you maths/stats while washing dishes in a Chinese restaurant? Ask the owner's 8 year old to educate you on it.

    Tinmac ... you disappoint me for being an Asian. Which Asian fails in maths and stats?

    The only crying and moaning around here is you about Lin and TMac

    Was a streak that was overhyped
    But created a bunch of lunatic fans who join other fans site to cry when Lin gets criticized

    He's not a rockets fan
    He doesn't know Hakeem or Houston

    HayesISback claims to be from Australia and they came up with a pre-Lin moniker. That gives me uncertainty. His posting history is 90% about Lin (as far back as clutch allows me to look).

    You got a rebuttal on this, HayesISback? Your records are confusing and tinman does a pretty good job of vetting true Rocket loyalty. What say you?

    Star =/= All-Star

    Star could be any player who is one of the Top 2 or 3 players in his team. Kemba is not an All-Star yet but he is a proven star.

    This might be part of the reasons he strained his hamstring. Like McHale said, he needs to be pulled back a lil bit.

    Tries really hard
    Takes too many low percentage shots for a point guard
    Turns ball over in bad places and bad times
    Gets hot when stakes are low
    Takes shots at organization when stakes are high

    He's from Hong Kong, he changed it after I called him out for being suspicious.
    Figuring this dude out as a LOF was not hard, it's like finding fish in the ocean.

    Notice how he reacts when I call him a LOF vs a fake Rockets fan. Normally if you accuse someone of being a fake Rockets fan, they respond by stating their Rockets history like "I've been going to games in Toyota Center, or I watch the games since Steve Francis etc"

    Nothing. This dude is LOF and he's extremely fervent about it

    Hmm, if you are trying to pretend you are a real Rockets fan,

    you need to realize the man who started this site named it after the 90s Rockets.

    LOFs are the dumbest things on this planet dumber than turkeys or chickens

    Hopefully you don't mean the Atlantic Cod. ;)

    Note to self: vetting done. HayesISback doesn't actually remember Hayes as our greatest starting center since Yao.

    I'll put it at 999-1...a little higher than the Vegas line.

    Perhaps, but does the betting public truly reflect whether one team is better than another? That's the point I was trying to make...

    Lorenzomax, if that picture is by you, where did you get that type of data from? Not that I care so much for Lin and the Nets, but filtering on type of play AND per 36 minutes? Did you seriously take play type data from NBA.com tracking stats and then manually add mpg yourself, normalize every stat per 36 just to prove Atkinson's trust in Lin's PnR?
