    I'll go 200 pages by the end of November. My god if Lin has a good game, that's already 20+ pages by itself.

    Damn... that goes straight into the Clutchfans Hall of Fame.

    My fave part is when Lin goes at Harden one on one and can't shake him. LoL. The worst defender in the league locking down Jeremy Lin. Priceless.

    Ouch. that was an ugly game by Lin.

    Ugly TOs but there were few good plays from him.
    This game will be the big bullet for LOH to troll for months to come.

    Harden has the tool to be a good defender when he is focused.
    Problem is he some times loses focus.

    Rockets D was good last night.
    Bev on Lin, Ariza on Kobe, Dwight on the rim.

    why are you insulting the 16 year olds? they can tell you that Lin sucks.

    Cause the ultimate weapon against lunatics is the truth and the truth really hurts.

    Who do you think Clutch is? Ghandi? the Pope?

    His essence is made from the spirit of Clutch City, a toughness of Otis Thorpe , the fire of Vernon Maxwell, the dominance of Hakeem Olajuwon, the heart of Rudy T

    You back Clutch City in a corner, Clutch City will come back swinging for the TKO

    This is Clutch City
    Lin fans we won't show you any pity
    You come and hate on Clutch
    he hits you with truth about Lin
    you don't like that so much
    Lin is who you fancy
    this much we know
    He's turning the ball over
    from LA to Tokyo
    No real person in LA cares about Lin you see
    They just want to see Kobe and Swaggy P

    Yeah...I don't think Lin will be dropping 40 on anybody in the near future. But I'm sure he'll do a lot better than his performance last night.

    What bothers me more is the amount of blind hate on this thread. Everyone here is ragging on Lin fans for scapegoating others, while I have yet to see any Lin fans actually blaming anyone for his poor performance. The amount of blind hate here is shocking---especially for an all-around stand up guy who never had any ill will towards the Rockets organization.

    I rooted for Lin. I still like the guy, and I wish him well. I know people who know him well...and the things I've heard about how he conducts himself as a human being are nothing short of inspirational. The world is a better place because people like that are here.

    But:

    1. Lin Only Fans were insufferable. Seriously. It was over the top ridiculous.

    2. He plays for a team other than the Houston Rockets at this point.

    3. This thread's subject is his performance with the other team.

    4. That video was a very fair representation of how Jeremy Lin played last night.

    That's not trolling Lin.

    I can ALWAYS count on Lin to do one thing better then any other player on an NBA court. Bounce the ball off of his head-knee-face-elbow-butt and out of bounds.

    I am so happy this train wreak will now be Byron Scott's fault.

    The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. But mostly giveth away !

    I thought I would be celebrating if Lin had the performance that he did last night, to know that even the most extreme and delusional of his fans will finally see the truth. Now, I just feel sorry for them and I see is how pathetic it all is.

    Ok, I'm chuckling a little (a lot).

    Of course not, but "impartiality" and "professionalism" are always good platforms for constructive discussion.

    Oh snap. :grin:

    I had high hopes when we first signed him, but the more he played the more he looked like a lost kid on the court...

    I'm just glad he's gone...wherever he can build his luck

    Clutchfans isn't Clutch's job, it's his passion.

    I came here because Clutch is a pure Rockets fan and I enjoy his opinion and insight.
    You think a freaking video of Lin having turnovers against the Rockets is 'bad'?
    really?

    Did you ever read what Clutch wrote about Scottie Pippen when he left the Rockets? It makes the J Lin video look like Sesame Street!!

    I know that Clutchfans will never have the utopia it had at the beginning where it was just all pure Rockets fans, but as long as #1 is still a pure Rockets fan , I'm here

    If you are going to compile a "greatest hits" video for a game to prove Lin makes mistakes, it works better if you skip the plays that weren't mistakes.

    ok sorry for the confusion... two key words missing from my previous post: "last night."

    Nobody has scapegoated anyone else for Lin's horrendous performance last night. So why all the torches and pitch forks?
