    "Jeremy Lin sucks, let the tanking begin. Oh what, they won? That sucks."

    Worse of all, I'm 95% sure all the people complaining about PRESEASON woes are the SAME people who wants the Rockets to TANK. Saddest hypocrites. Can't look at anything positive about their "favorite" team.

    Tell me about it. I even had a bloody clown here telling me off about how clutchfans support rockets and not individual ( especially the player 'whose name shall not be mentioned')

    These high and mighty clowns who profess their 'love' for the team are often than not the most negative and critical.

    The hypocrisy displayed by some of these 'true blooded' rocket fans in this forum stinks

    I've noticed Rockets fans here are a lot more negative than even Knicks fans were last year. That's saying quite a lot. Some of the posters are downright haters. We won the game tonight; there should not be so much hate especially directed at a single player.

    Jeremy makes his teammates better. Check the preseason win/lose stats with/without him.

    Oh I forgot.... It's the preseason , so positive don't count. Let's dwell on the negatives. FO

    Like I said, if you want to TANK, why would you complain about the player's woes in PRESEASON?

    As I said before, top picks are overrated. It won't change anything to the situation next season. Kyrie did nothing for Cavaliers, Wall did nothing for Wizards. Rondo, Nash and Kobe were all mid picks. Draft = LOTTERY plain and simple. People picking first doesn't tell you how a rookie will develop.

    What rockets have right now is a team full of draft picks or rookies. Why can't you give them 1 single regular game before complaining?

    Nah even if Jeremy plays for free, they'll complain about other things....

    You can't argue with racists.

    I think the boys' offense started out terrible because they were overplaying the D, and didn't haven't enough rocket fuel left for offense (legs stiffening).

    About the negativity, it's what fans do to lower expectations. To me, that shows real fandom, to fool oneself into not being overly disappointed. A casual fan would just let it go and not care. The negativity shows disguised passion.

    Also I think Terence "Cyclone" Jones is now the face of The Rockets.

    They may not be racist, just that he's undeserving, like maybe a Kim Kardashian of Basketball. But it doesn't help when he has overzealous fans that only comment in regards to voldemort.

    I thought Davis looked good; he was a defensive presence. But it was remarkable how easily Smith, while under the rim, just bumped Davis out of bounds and off the court. That would have never have happened to Jones, who is already built like a NBA player from the get go.
