Jeremy Lin is a large reason of why we lost this series

Lin is not running the point, that's my point.

 

Lin answers only to God. He will work his butt off in the offseason, come back a better player, not for you, me, even Chandler freaking Parsons, but to bring glory to God. Thats what drives him, motivates him, and im sure a standup/hardworking kid like himself will only get better

 

I am not worried if Lin is traded.

Actually, elite PGs don't want share the back-court with Harden and sacrifice their stat.
That's why OKC didn't make Harden a starter and play with Westbrook.

The Rockets didn't play the best of Lin by not letting him run the offense as a PG.
It's so absurd to blame him being under-achieved.

 

You were saying Lin did not have "years of credit" comparing to the other guys but Lin is only 24 years old, he is still young, I said years of credit will come. Do you disagree?

By the way, I am sorry "my guys" invaded Clutchfans. Even though I swear I come here by myself. I am just a Rockets fan from Houston who happened to like Lin and (Harden is also my fave player). It's that wrong in your eyes that I actually like Lin? You make me feel like I should feel ashamed of myself when I go to Toyota center with my Lin Jersey on? You said my guys invaded CF. So should I say something negative about Lin in order not to be obstracized and truly become one of you guys.

I really like this young Rockets team with Harden, Lin and Parsons lineup btw. Most people registered here to support the team because of them. I am one of those guys and I said it when I first posted here and my screenname reflects that.

 

WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW, LIN?!

The Rockets is turning Lin into the next Derek Fisher (13.3pts+4.4ast at best).

It's not Lin's style and he had no idea when he signed the contract.

 

So, if you point a radar gun at 2 cars and one has greater acceleration than the other, does that make it a better basketball player?

 

No, dumb question - but that's not what he is alluding to. But I get what you are saying.

That's like saying theoretically if 2 'equal' talents (as PG) were playing on the same team. One has the green light to do what he pleases and the other has to react to the first person. Who's the better player? Does this mean the one with the green light actually is a better player?

I challenge you to say yes - the first player.

 

Lol what? OKC had Durant as a starter and he's a better player than Harden. If a PG is elite, then stat's won't be sacrificed no matter who they play with.

 

Difference is lin is nowhere near elite.. He can be good to very good, but not elite

 

Lin stat. is 13+6.
Of course, he is not an elite now.

If Lin has choice, he will consider another team.

The only way the Rockets turn to be a contender is signing Howard.

If Morey makes it, Parsons will get a big contract 2 year later, and can't re-sign Asik+LIN.

Morey must trade Asik+Lin after next season.

 

Now Lin lacks passion? Never heard that one before. I've been hearing a lot of newfound reasons as to why Lin is no good: his game is awkward, he's not a playoff performer, etc.

Can't wait to hear what the knock-of-the-day will be tomorrow.

 

Asik and Lin have co-exist problems with Harden+Howard combo.
They are the players to sacrifice.

They can contribute while 1 of H was out or cold off, but too expensive.

In the long term, Lin and Asik will be traded or leave.

 

Too bad his fans aren't like him. Apparently some of his fans think HE is God.

 

And folks like you think HE is the Devil.

 

You're just choosing to focus on some extreme fans. Most Lin fans are perfectly reasonable people who are justly in disbelief over the rank hypocrisy of many anti-Lin people.

The Lin Standard: 25-game Linsanity sample size not good enough, solid 82-game regular season sample size not good enough

The Beverley (or Anybody But Lin) Standard: A couple of good games = Starter role

See what I mean?

When the Lin-Harden combo worked, it was devastating this season and many sportswriters called them the best backcourt in the league.

But to the haters, nothing (whether it be sample size or tantalizing potential) will dissuade them of their predetermined bias. These are the geniuses who ask questions like, "Well, if Lin is so good, how come he wasn't drafted?" Lin's biography just doesn't fit their preconceived notions of what a starting PG should be, so nothing he can do (save for playing like CP3 on George Hill's salary) will convince them otherwise.

 

Finally... Can we trade him yet?

 

No, 'afraid not.

 

Hence why I said "some" fans. Obviously not all are like that.

But they are there and there's enough of them to irritate people and draw out the "haters". You think the haters would be there if Lin fans hadn't egged them on?

Some Lin fans apparently don't believe he can be criticized
.
For example,

Rockets fan: Lin is so inconsistent he need to become more consistent. LOF: No, its because McHale always benches him. Thats why he's inconsistent.

Rockets fan: Lin needs to stop picking up his dribble in the paint.
LOF: What are you talking about? Every PG does it as much if not more than Lin.

Rockets fan: Lin didn't play well this game, he needs to play better.
LOF: Everyone played bad! why are you singling him out?

After a while it gets hard to take their posts seriously.
But since you appear to be level headed, I'll take your post seriously.

The people bashing on the starting PG is nothing new. It happened with Aaron Brooks when he got injured and Lowry outplayed him for a few games. It happened with Rafer Alston. Personally I don't believe Beverley has much potential, offensively, although he seems like a more polished player to me, more experienced, less turnover prone than Lin, hence his success winning in the playoffs.. But he lacks the talent, and the play making of Lin. He doesn't have the ability to explode offensively like Lin in games. IMO his ceiling is pretty limited. Lin right now is pretty raw, he can be a good PG in the league but he isn't there yet. I think right now, as a PG, he is better than Beverley but it isn't by a huge margin. In time I think he can be MUCH better than Beverley but he'll need to improve a lot this offseason.
