I agree. It amazes me that there are people that want the rockets to win, but for Lin to fail at the same time.
TBH - most of the game thread was really nice and positive, an dmost people didn't even care about LOF LOH crap. It seemed like we were all collective to just want to get the W. So what if some Lin fans were happy he played well? Who is it hurting? It does not necessarily create a negative energy, but LOH's who come in suddenly laying blame on Lin etc. There were way more problems than just Lin for the loss whether that is warranted or not. Alrdrige, Lillard, coaching, Harden's off game parsons random chucking at the end, defense etc. But you know what, let's go crazy bashing Lin or wish he has a bad game to prove the point that indeed Lin is a cancer on the team rather than wishing him to play well for the Rockets to get the W. Or even let's just blame the Lof's who secretly wish Bev have an injury to play well... lol seriously this behaviour is so terrible. Sorry for terrible typing but still tired and feeling sad about the loss from last night.
i thought Lin played a great first half - a mediocre second and good in OT. problem was when he switched on Lilllard in the 4th - up to that point Lillard had yet to make a basket in the second half -- Lillard when to score like 8-9 points in a row. Lin is quick enough to stay with Lillard he just needs that feistyness Bev has to do all the time. We've seen Jeremy play good defense against some great point guards, he needs to do it again this time. This is his first real playoff series (he was hurt last season and in NY as well) so hopefully he rises up to the big lights because if the Rockets really do have title aspirations they wont achieve them without Lin playing to his potential consistently. He really needs to attack all night long - he has two mismatches in his favor on offense - neither Lillard nor Williams will be able to stop him - abuse that make them work.
Agreed, but coach needs to make it happen for that to work. When Lin and Harden took turns setting PNR for each other, that was pretty deadly. At the end Mchale had Lin sit in the corner so far from harden that it was hard to get the pass of...it should have been Lin to give Harden the ball. parson's got triggy happy a few times too later lol
Well, I thought some of the haters on this thread were bad until I went to the "Harden in overtime" thread. Harden did have a bad game, but, wow, people are reacting like he won't have a good game ever again.
Remember the Rockets talked how great the Harden/Howard and Lin/Howard PNR before the season? Where is it?
A Lin fanatic who hates McHale/Morey/Harden/Bev and posts about nothing else but his hatred for those 4 on twitter. Just a regular guy who is exalted by others who think like him.
It's so weird that most of media cover Lin's air ball, not his game in OT. It likes they talked how Bev. vs. WestBrook, not about WB's revenge on Bev in OKC game.
That was so stupid! I watched the replay over and over again, Lin BARELY touched him, the NBA is getting more p***y year by year
