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

Jeremy Lin is a big reason we lost game 6. Every Time he came in the momentum shifted. He was hesitant and couldn't hit anything. Maybe he was injured. He just shouldn't have been playing and I guess you can put that on McHale.

 

this season it was never about winning a championship, It was about playoff experience. We got that and more.

p.s hm maybe thats why Rose didn't want to come back. Maybe its because he sees no chance of winning against the Heats so he sits and not re-aggravate his injury?

 

Then people need to have a lower expectation for a first year starter and when the team doesn't play to his strength.

Maybe, but it is certainly not showing.

Try harder maybe?

Sad, truly. Unfortunately, it's not only me that think something out of the ordinary is happening, certainly not only new posters.

 

+1

Thanks for the civil post. Agreed except I thought that it wasn't the case at the end of the first half when he played with the starters, right?

 

The Royce White hate is not showing as much because he doesn't play for the Rockets so he's not constantly in the spotlight.

The "mob" is always just a few people that are over critical of Lin and then like 100 Lin fans jump in to defend to make it a bigger issue than it normally is.

It is unfortunate that it's not only you that think this for sure.

 

Well said, it blows my mind that other people with a human mind can't differentiate what a hater is opposed to someone simply with an opinion that differs from theirs.

What you just did was 100% speculation. Which is nothing more than making excuses for him. Now let me reverse what you just did. What if I say what if he just isn't capable? What if he can't perform under pressure? What if he simply does not have the talent and just had a couple of good games and peaked out during Linsanity?

What I just did is absolutely no different than what you just did just on different sides, now just because you think the opposite that makes me a hater? None of our statements are proven at all. So if me saying that makes me a hater you making obvious excuses for him makes you delusional fanboy.

Most of your response was irrelevant to the point so there's no point in me tryin to prove who I've spent my last 6 years with, but as far as this goes, so since Lin gets more criticism than others the only option left is that everyone is just racist ? Maybe you should sit down and think the process out more. Lin gets all this attention is because how much he was put on a pedestal during Linsanity, he was suppose to he this below average pg who pops up and has this amazing performance and has eveyone thinking he was under looked as being one of the best possible PGs in the league, people hyped him. His fans believed and are still living In Linsanity era. Real basketball fans hated the special treatment he go for doing good for 5 games or so. There are players that put up Linsanity numbers for an ENTIRE SEASON. Now that he's settled down into the fact that he's an average / below average point guard, Lofs refuse to accept that Linsanity is gone and never coming back and that he is nothing more than a average pg with potential. Yes Lin has potential, he has a lot. But right now he hasn't proved anything. That's what we're discussing on this thread. Give it time. Someone above me couldn't have said it better. Let Lin prove everyone wrong, he's the only one that will change minds, not the blind defenders on these forums

 

Well, people could go to the Vipers forum and hurl flame. Well, I guess people like to argue for the sake of argument, people like to trash forums.

Well I have seen a lot of H-posts and I wouldn't call it "a few".

That's normal, homers are going to defend their team/player whatever; can't say the same about haters.

Well, when some people offend a bunch of people unnecessarily, maybe some reflection is healthy?

 

Agreed bwhahahaha people use the word hate too damn loosely. Fans should be able to express their opinions without others calling them a hater, troll and other bull**** that comes out some of these cats mouth.

 

Lin sucked in this series. I was hoping to see a more aggressive version of him in Game 6, as soon as he parked himself in the corner, I knew it's over. He hesitated at least 3 times when he was briefly open behind the arc, and wasn't even trying to cut to the basket when he's off-ball, essentially a dead weight on the offense.

He has a lot to work on in the off-season, and he must be more assertive like Beverley and Brooks instead of just deferring the ball to Harden.

 

Royce White gets a lot of hate through twitter, 1000x worst than Lin.

The H-posts might have to do with his terrible post season numbers?

Why are they offended? Is it because they are huge fans of Lin and think the criticism of him are unfair? So they are racists? Labeling people as racists should need more evidence than that don't you think?

 

Just trade jeremy already, so he can be appreciated, as he should be. and no im not a LOF, there's just way too many LOH's here...wonder how many LOH's came following after him being in NY.

 

Yeah, even with Harden on the bench, Bev and Brooks were running point guard while Lin stood still at the 3pt line.

 

Hate:

Opinion:

Yeah, yeah, whatever, so you are the opinion person all of a sudden. I'm sorry, what you just did is absolutely different from what I just said. You are a hater treating your opinion as fact whereas I'm pointing out possibilities of truth.

Gets more criticism? That sounds civil but that's certainly not reality. Everyone? Who said that everyone is just racist? The fact that racism might be in play here is bad, it doesn't have to be many people. As Old Man Rock says, it should be zero tolerance, just don't do anything fishy.

Just because people hype him doesn't mean people have to hate him, especially if he is a member of the team these people support. That's the disappointed part, support your players, puritanical "true" fans.

I know! Forking quit the hate already. It's a shame, he's a member of the Rockets, don't hate him just because he was hyped! It's not in his or his fans' control. 5 games? Pitiful.

So forking what? Fans support whoever they want to support. Wassup with this holier-than-thou bullcrap telling other people these are correct fans, these are bad fans, these are good hypes, these are bad hypes??? Sports is not a religion goddammit. Be reasonable, be understanding, things happen for a reason. Appreciate people come to support the team, quit the hate.

Even the biggest public Lin hater SAS admitted that he's above average, shut your mother forking garbage disposer already. Enough of this crap. Don't try to be this "just opinion" stupid a-ho, and then come back with the manipulated facts non-sense.

Discussing...lol...well at least you do realize it is better to discuss rather than hate. Sure, one could only hope that he will get better. Ya, I'm sure I'm blind, lol. In the meantime, support the team and players, stop trashing this forum, do something more constructive and quit doing anything fishy and potentially offensive.

 

He's not going to get different treatment anywhere else if he plays like he did this season. It's amazing some people can't grasp that concept

 

Royce's criticism is MUCH worse than lins. Not even comparable. He gets death threats, constant name calling, huge personal attacks on his personal life. So I agree with that on twitter.

Agree fed with everything else. Would rep if I could

 

That's great, but I am only talking about Clutchfans.

It would be understandable if the H-posts are new but that's certainly not the case.

If only Lin fans are saying that you do have a point but unfortunately that's not the case here at all. This is definitely one of the biggest illusion here. Since I am a Lin fan you could saying I'm over-sensitive but why don't you ask the old posters who is suspecting foul-play this question?

 

There are haters everywhere and the haters will follow him wherever he goes. Lin haters are integral part of his followers.:grin:

 

Not on this board.

 

That arrangment was obviously what the coach wanted Lin to do, considering he was not totally recovering from his injury.

 

Now this is just pure ignorance. If another team wants him they have accepted his current stats and his potential to fit in there system.
