Without OT, Lin would be ranted by LOH all day. Just stop the hype of Bev. being Ace stopper or Wolverine. It is so embarrassing.
The guy said almost single handedly won us the game IN overtime. Read the post, and in fact he did almost do that.
He went around Lillard who threw his legs back and kicked him while taking that crazy leaning 3-pointer. He would've done the same to Bev. It's a foul the refs wanted Lillard to get because they wanted to keep the game close.
That would have been impossible. Lin was located in far corner for the spot up corner 3. Parsons was located on the far elbow and started rotating but it was too late, Harden had already gotten into his shooting motion.
Heroball Harden fumbled the game away in overtime by not passing to the open man. Lin and company should have gotten the ball.
It was a very poorly drawn up play. There was no spacing. Lin, Parsons, and Harden were on one side of the court. Garcia on the other. Jones was in no man's land.
So what did he do to get us to overtime before he single handedly won the game? Still waiting for that one.
Who's bagging on the guy? I want yo know how he single handedly won the game? How he played an excellent game. It's like you LOF's have this filter that alters your sense of reality.
Of course hindsight is 20/20 Despite Harden going 8-28, I'd still draw a play for Harden to take that shot. Most coaches in the NBA would have done the same thing if they were in the same situation. You live and die by your star and tonight ours didn't deliver. I think POR played extremely well and we made a lot of costly mistakes and we only lost by two. Game 2 is going to be different!
Drew a clutch charge played phenomenal D passed well to howard hit his free throws, got us a few extra possessions on O boards with hustle alone, stopped a fast break easy layup opportunity by knocking the ball out from behind.... And then we all saw OT after that... So yea
LOFs are annoying, but LOH are worst. Don't make yourself falling into either camp. I know our emotion is quite high right now. Let's look at the silver lining and just accepted we sucked and Lin played better than what we expected from him. I see you going around wasting your time on this little snippet. You'll just continue to feed the trolls and make this place even more intolerable after an upsetting lost.
Oh lord, how the hell do you even prove that given that they lost the game? Lin didn't play bad but his stats this game doesn't prove he "single handedly" almost won the game.
No I'm not missing anything. He said that Lin was single handedly winning the game in overtime as if we just magically made it to overtime. Fact is Lin played exactly like he always does. He had a stretch in the game where he played well with hustle plays then he had a stretch where he was really bad and then in overtime he had another good stretch. Before overtime he was 2-7 and was getting blown past by Lillard. Let's call it what it was instead of this ridiculous stuff about how he single handedly did anything or had an excellent game. 5-11 shooting with 4 assists and 14 points in 34 minutes isn't excellent anything. He had the same kind of Yo-Yo game he's had for two years here. I'm not missing anything. Now with Beverley out he's going to get his chance to show what he can do. I hope he plays great but however he plays I'm sure the usual suspects will bring all the hyperbole they're known for bringing when it comes to hyping Lin's pedestrian performances.
Didn't you just call me out for being a pessimist and not supporting the Rockets? Looks like emotion is getting the best of everyone today.
