    I cannot stand this.

    Perhaps you should be a pioneer and start a Jeremy Lin website where Lin fans can get together to discuss all things Jeremy Lin!!

    Because fans of the team, in this case the Houston Rockets, don't want to hear this constant JLin drivel. Team > Player. Championship > Player.

    Dude, you live in your uncle's basement and play video games 12 hours a day. There is no "code" you live by. Seriously the dumbest, most self aggrandizing post I've seen today.

    Go back to trolling on stormfront, son. :)

    What does zipperhead mean anyway?I don't recall calling anyone zipperhead. As for Lin, I said he will be scoring 17 points a game and will be beasting. Plus he is a great teammate.

    Perhaps this is off-topic, but what's with this idea that supporting a team because of its players makes you a "fake" fan? In team sports, it's very difficult to root for a player and NOT root for the team as well, and vice versa.

    Are you saying that true fandom is supporting a city? What if the Rockets moved to, say, Seattle? And a new Houston team with a new team name was created? Would true Rockets fans support the relocated team or the new Houston team?

    Who cares what a fans reasons for supporting a team are? Not all of us are from Houston or have ties there. Some of us become fans of certain teams because of players. Quite frankly, I find it much stranger to become a fan of a team because of its geographical location, which has very little to do with basketball.

    I see nothing wrong with supporting a team because of a player.

    two words for ya:

    ad hominem

    while you are busy looking that up, i suggest you worry about the well being of the team, not just one component.

    you are SOOO salty that Lin is on the bench.

    LOL

    to be honest, i hope Brooks passes Lin on the depth chart. Sorry Lin, your fans have ruined you for me. Just like phish.

    Three words for ya: lighten up, freak.

    This is a message board about basketball. If you can't tolerate an opinion that's different from yours, then clone yourself, give them a bunch of computers, create a series of sock accounts and have at it. You'll be much happier this way.

    No one is here to cater to you and to your hate of jeremy lin. I know you're used to mommy wiping your chin, and feeding you your favorite formula and running to you when you whine, but the world doesn't operate like that.

    I know, I know, the world is such a hard, cruel place. (cue violins). No one want to wuv you and agwee wif you about how bad bad the win fans awe. You poor baby! You cry and cry and cry, yet there's no milk!



    Waaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    He is trying to say that many of Lin's fans cross the line by putting Lin above the good of the Rockets and are doing so on a site dedicated to the Rockets no less. Those are what we consider fake Rockets fans and a pollution to this site.

    Honest question: why do you post in this forum? If you don't support the Rockets, why are you here? There are JLin forums.

    90% of your posts are complaints about lin fans. You create your own reality. :)

    Keep b****in' and you'll get more.

    If you had anything going on in your life, this sh-- would be totally irrelevant. Since you don't, you NEED to create a bogeyman to sh-- on, and to fear.

    Get your life together. Stop being such a whiny, hateful b---. :)

    I love you too, man. :grin:

    Have you ever seen Gran Torino? Clint Eastwood uses that term and just about every derogatory slur towards Asians there is.
