    Hear hear.

    I dont get it either.

    I support _all_ the players. And if they do good, I say good things.
    If they do bad, I say, "Bad play' (not bad player).
    It's all done in the moment. ie. I still love them.

    Praising one doesnt mean I hate another.

    Criticising another doesnt mean I do it to support another.

    However, it seems that is not possible here.

    And yet, I come back. Weird, aye?

    :)

    Nay, true love guides you back. I say you two have a healthy and normal outlook, if what I'm thinking is actually healthy :grin:.

    Definition of being realistic.
    Here we have a guy who his whole life never got consistent coaching for his strong-points, but were trained for covering what the team lacked.
    John Wall were groomed to play to his potential, Lin was groomed to cover whatever weaknesses the team had.
    Since his GSW-days Lin has played and trained for four different types of playing-types: Gsw: defensive backup to curry, Knicks: straight up backup, Houston 2012/13: Pass first pg, Houston 13/14: Combo Guard who shpuld change his game from match to match depending on what the team needs.

    Can you really chastise him when he goes from high to low more than the top-10 PGs?

    Read an article that states that John Wall is gettung specific coaching for the point guard position by a famous PG. He has made very good progress since last year. Hakeem was hired by the Rockets as a consultant to help Howard, Demo and others with their post up game.

    Rox just won 7 in a row and now sit in the 3rd seed of the WC. Can everyone just stop complaining about who did what (there were plenty of miscues by many players in this game) and just enjoy the win?

    That ending was a classic example of positive reinforcement for flopping in the NBA. Harden gets legitimately fouled, and nothing is called. So he waits 1 second then realizes the entire play is gonna go to the dumps unless he does something. It's a sad reality that you have to flop in this league to get a warranted whistle blown your way. But that's the way it is. Rockets haters can suck it.

    WOW. Do yo have a list of Lin's screw ups.How about stepping on the 3 pt line a couple of times. Maybe it would be good to make a list of averybody's screw ups and we can do a statistical analysis. That should keep GARM busy for a long time.

    All these TURNOVERS because he's afraid to shoot the frikin ball. Even the great ones miss a shot once in awhile.

    To the Wizards complaining about the foul. It WAS a foul...a 2 shot foul that should have put the game into overtime. Be thankful it wasn't called that way. You would've gotten your behinds handed to you. Instead you got one more shot and missed. Saved yourselves 5 minutes of agony.
