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

    I already explained it to you. Royce White isn't playing for the Rockets, therefore the criticism isn't on this forum as much unless he says something stupid like taunting Durant.

    His play this season has been inconsistent so the h-posts didn't suddenly appear for sure but it got stronger because of his awful playoff series.

    You know that there's a lot of old posters that are Yao fans who converted to being Lin fans don't you? There's not as much older posters as you think that feel that way.

    Even before the injury Bev always took the ball up court when they were on the floor together.

    Might have something to do with the fact McHale expects Lin to play the role he's been trained for all season long. Whereas Bev and Brooks were just basically told: just go play.

    It sounds to me like some people want him to just disregard the offense McHale wants to run, and just freestyle like he did in NY? Sounds like a great strategy...

    Your reading comprehension is severely lacking. We are talking about "fan reaction" not the opinion of an organization.

    Pure ignorance indeed, unfortunately it's on your end yet again. You may be better served logging off for a few hours and collecting your thoughts.

    That's because Lin is a better SG than Beverley. They didn't play much together most of the season, but when they did, they had great chemistry.

    Sure, however, when people here talk negatively about Royce White, they use a relatively objective and mild matter-of-fact tone as oppose to the raging, demeaning and over-the-top tone directed towards Lin.
    Sure, that's fine but he was singled out in game 1 when everyone played bad.
    OK, so you're saying it's only the Asians who feel offended. Be careful, during slavery, the whites weren't offended by racism.

    TJ vs Tr why are you using other users quotes In a response to myself with no credit to the original poster? Are you trying to quote that I said that hate? It's because you can't find me saying hate, so I guess you're trying to put the impression that it came from me.

    You clearly don't know the difference between hate and opinion as stated by others than just myself. And writing essay reports as respones won't make your opinions anymore fact than you want them to be. It's the Internet bro. Everyone's not going to agree with you, sit back and take a couple breaths. Breathe!! Woooosaaahhh.

    I can read between the lines...thank you very much. Fan reaction is how many seats they can fill, TV views, sponsorship etc.. That is what fan reaction is.

    The LOH are nothing but a minority who think they know better than the masses.

    You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Royce retweeted a lot of hate he got and most were over the top and out of line.

    I didn't see him being singled out for just one game, if so, then not by many.

    I'm pretty sure most are Asian but that's just my opinion.

    I'm sorry I was just lazy. I was responding your response to the quote of another poster. So I guess it was a general thing.

    I don't think so.
    Alright, I'm breathing; and I'm just posting, not necessarily trying to have everyone agree with me. I am indeed well aware that the internet used to be better than this; reasons and discussion used to mean something. Whatever, I'm just posting.

    Not really Lin is more of the pure pg while Bev plays better off the ball that's why he complements Harden better.

    How many times do I have to say??? I am talking about here, in this website, and that's it.

    I'm certainly not making stuff up, check the history.

    Exactly, can't know; but not a good thing anyways.

    Royce did get a lot of extreme hate here as well. It's just people got used to him antics and stop caring as much. A member even made a fake Royce White twitter account mocking him.

    Anyways I'm done, said all I wanted to.

    I guess I'll have to ask you to qualify that since I'm being direct with everything I've said. There's no "lines to read between" in our conversation. Again, you're not following whatsoever. We are discussing fan reaction on a message board here. You could even possibly extend it to twitter since Royce White has been mentioned but that hasn't been mentioned in our back and forth. You are struggling mightily with context.

    You are intellectually obtuse. Who do you consider the "masses"?

    I know that, but that's not what I was talking about, I was just talking about people here, in this website. Lin certainly doesn't have this many haters in the real world proportionally.


    Cool.

    I'm sorry if I'm tooo intellectually obtuse to can't keep up with your, "intellect". Maybe you should've started a new thread since it was off topic. This thread doesn't deserve to get bumped.

    So tell me was JLin the reason we loss this last game? I would agree he was ineffective.

    LOL at all these computer chair jocks trying to belittle an actual world-class athlete's injuries.

    I'm sure everyone here is a "warrior" because they won their college intermediate-level softball intramural tourney once.

    *too.

    *lost.

    I already said Lin wasn't the reason we lost this series. If you weren't so dense you would have picked that up. I actually defended him for playing through an injury.

    I don't even know what to say at this point. Take a brisk walk
