"Elevate themselves"? Golly gee. Let's get this straight. Lin was elevated by the Rockets. The Rockets were not elevated by Jeremy Lin.
Yes, the nba is cut throat, and you can become expendable very quickly But you get 7-8 figure guaranteed contracts as compensation.
Show some god $%* respect. Whether you agree or disagree with this guy, you don't have to be acting like a bunch of juvenile immature idiots. He is a old school ROX fan first and foremost who also happens to be a fan of Lin as are quite a few ROX fans. Some of you haters need to GTFO.
This guys ridiculous. Absolutely cares zero percent about the Rox. Nobody in the Rox org. or their fan base owes Lin or his weirdos anything. Be mad all you want. Houston's a big city. We don't need accolades or approval from any one players fans.
The video made good points. It's kind of dumb for newbie fans, many of which just started following the Rockets because of Harden or Howard, to attack a 99er who is clearly a die hard rockets fan for his opinion.
Who cares. There's no seniority on being a Rox fan. If you're a true fan, that's the ceiling. True Rox fans are okay with Lin coming off the bench, because it's the sensible thing to do with the way the current roster stands. Anybody who's saying it's not fair to Lin, is putting him before the team. So, is it not extremely easy to comprehend why a teams lifelong fan base would defend their franchise against such defamation? And how much are you really a Rocket fan, if you're willing to sacrifice the greater good of the team for a role player, whether his name be Lin or Beverley... What LOFs don't get is that it's nothing personal to Lin. He's a bright kid. He deserves to be in the NBA. He's a great role model. More importantly, when the game starts, we root for his success. But, for us, it's because of the name on the front of the jersey. If you guys keep publicly attacking NBA franchises (who represent major cities), no fans are ever going to want this guy on their team. It just turns to mayhem like it has here. At some point, LOFs will need to be mire open-minded and try to find that middle ground. They're only making it worse for Lin as is.
The stupidity of some of the posters in this thread who attack PSJ is astounding. Its not like most of you chaps have even valid, logical opinions in the first place.... *shakes head*
When did Beverley win the job? Didn't Clutch stated clearly that Beverley was given the job because of a better fit? I feel more and more hypocrisy atmosphere hanging around.
Before talking out of your butt, at least provide some evidence lol can you at least enumerate what skills beverley improved on compared to last season to WIN the starting job? With Lin at least we can say that he improved on his shooting, left hand and defense. that is something we can see on the preseason games. I can even pull up a Mchale interview saying that Lin improved his shooting form. Again, not saying Lin should start, but saying that Bev WON the starting job because he worked his tail off in the offseason is laughable...
Lin blows. Harvard is a *****ty school. Being a Rocket fan was so much easier when it was just "white on black" and "black on white" racism. /Thread
God just ****ing stop. I knew inevitably Lin conspiracy threads like this were going to pop up but the season hasn't even begun yet. We got Dwight Howard. We look like we're going to have a beast season. but yet again the board is filled with ****ing negativity from Lin fanatics, debasing the organization just because Lin isn't the starter.
Why racism? Why? Some seriously twisted logic here. Besides the blatantly false childish and accusatory name calling on a long time Rockets fan, it seems like you think that the Rockets can do no wrong and any criticism towards it is like treason. Um......
Same old same old, where ever he goes, he will get that situation, why ask? why answer?.. you know why... Jeremy and bev both good. but the way that rockets organization represent the case isn't the right way.. that's why so many debate here... anyway... good luck to Lin and bev for tomorrow... and hope all can stay healthy.. championship all the way
his videos are for lin fan only and i agree that the org is doing it wrong. They should had announced earlier that Lin would not start in the Manila game. McHale didnt had to start all this alternate start thing and could had avoided what happen in the last preseason game that up sad a lot of lin fans.
I'm stunned he went as far as to compare Jeremy Lin to Jackie Robinson. That right there shows you the narrow tunnel-vision of some fans and just how myopic they can be.
