    LOL what is the argument here? If someone says a player did "fine when given minutes", you can negate that with 1 lowlight?

    They would've gotten swept by POrtland without him.

    This is awful grammar. You forgot the verb before "3rd grade math." Learn how to put together coherent sentences, please.

    The fact that you came in this thread and left a message, and read our words, implies that not only are you a hypocrite, but also pathetic by even bothering to reply. I guess it goes both ways right? Haha

    Anyway, you guys will miss the LOF when everything gets quiet around here. :p

    And some may even bring up Jeremy's name even if he's already gone, coz his name is just the kind that attracts attention. Talking about other things will never bring a response anyway, and almost half of the people around here craves attention.

    Anyway, I had loads of fun reading the back and forth arguments. What's supporting a team without its sets of drama's, right? That's why a lot of people call Spurs boring because they dont have controversy there, its just basketball and Pop's screaming. hahaha.

    I wonder how the atmosphere around here would be after Jeremy's gone.

    You really shouldn't take a description of yourself and attempt to apply it to over 300 million Americans, or even the 50,000 members of ClutchFans. I would add that while accusing others of not being able to, "put together a coherent sentence...or 3rd grade math," that in your future efforts, you at least attempt to do so with a few coherent sentences yourself. Thanks in advance.

    Nope, Clutchfans had been going strong without you guys. We could actually have legitimate discussions before you pieces of **** got here. We'll be glad when you leave.

    It will be the same as it was before Jeremy and his fans graced us with their presence. Just fine.

    And Deckard, I beat you to it, breh :)

    Yeah, it's too bad because I have little problem Lin (even though his scripture tweet was misplaced), but I cannot wait until the Lin crazies have less reason to post their paranoid, martyr-like bile on here.

    Lin seems like a flake, but there's a growing list of people that feel like they've been disrespected by Daryl Morey. Not even sure he knows he's doing this. Maybe DM is on the spectrum...

    It wasn't a mistake when they signed him. But it was a mistake keeping him after signing harden. They don't fit. Lin has shown himself to be a very good player whenever he has to play hardens role. Should've traded him when he was being paid 5 mil.

    Harden had a clutch performance game 4, but Lin went and ruined it with a amateurish mistake.

    The first few games together showed Lin and Harden do fit together. Why they cannot reproduce that (defenses adjusted, scouting, coaching), I don't know.

    So would the same be true of the growing perception that Lin is but the latest religious hypocrite to be exposed.
    That he is actually nothing more than the stereotypical egotistical athlete with an overgrown view of himself and an excessive sense of entitlement.
    And what about the widely held view that it is highly hypocritical to speak of "turning the other cheek" but then take to social media to crow about it.
    Is that pretty accurate as well?

    Lin is the least of the Rocket's concern at the moment. They have to replace a stud defender at C to put them back at being 1st round fodder...then they have to improve the team. Melo would actually be the perfect upgrade for the starting 5...Harden would be energized by having a top 3 scorer at the 3 or 4.
    Jameer Nelson may be a good Lin replacement but there is still the hole at backup center.
