ClutchFans Game Thread: Bulls @ Rockets 11/21/2012

Morey should have never gotten Lin... And kept dragic. That would've been best for both parties.

Man I like the kid as a person, but man he is clearly regressing as- player. Whether its lack of confidence, recovering from knee surgery, or just sheer lack of talent.. The bottom line is he is freaking sucking big time. How can u not be concerned about this.. I'm very close to writing him off...I'm just wondering how da hell Linsanity happen in the first place? Is he really really this bad?

 

Well there's no pressure now anymore. My expectations of 15/8 avgs are down to 8/7 now...hope they don't drop even more.

 

i am one of jlin's biggest fans, i want him to do well really well. i was hoping he would make the all star team and belong there not just get votes because of popularity.
something is wrong, he started the year pretty good but instead of progressing it seems each game is getting worse. at one point he had 21 points now he can barely score 6 points a game.

 

If this is his true talent level, the Rockets will probably have to package a first rounder just to get rid of the contract right now. Better hope he's playing well.

 

Doubtful. If it were just a shooting % maybe, but he's slower and is playing scared. Injury and weight of the contract keeping him down imo. Linsanity had nothing to lose, he looks like he's miserable out there.

 

Every time Lin start to be hot...

the coaching bench him...

no way ...he can get a rhythm

this way...

 

They were pretty quiet when Lin was playing well before he got benched. I do agree with them that Lin had a horrible 2nd quarter, but to sit around and wait for him to play badly so they can say "I told you so" is just pathetic.

 

That's incorrect. He had a couple okay shooting games in there, and played well for the most part in every other facet of the game.

Go ahead and look up each game again. Small numbers of shots, multiple games with high assist totals, solid defensive play.

I know folks love painting a broad brush based on averages, but you really should look at the individual game performances.

 

no hes not...

 

I thought Lin started the game really well. All of a sudden, he became a different player in the 2nd qtr. ummm.... strange...

 

At this pace, Linsanity won't happens anymore.

And please for all the ppl out there, stop making injury as his excuse, it just so pathetic and feel not right at all... Look at Love, coming back to the very first game after injury with 22 / 8 and keep counting.
Please no more injury excuse !!!

But I really hope the best for Lin, I wish he can turns all the bad things around. But for a moment now (I can't believe I say this !!!) but please stop shoot the balls and just concentrate at your assist.

 

This. We all want him to do well but he needs to start showing signs of life. Lots of his errors are mental and his shooting is just g-dmn awful.

 

C'mon Lin, give some life to the LOFs

 

Here we go!

 

Rockets is hanging there, in spite of Lin.

I am not dreaming of Linsanity, but I would be very satisfied if he can bring the performance under Woodson for 2 nights in a row. Scratch that, just for one game.

 

You're really gonna use a +/- stat? So TD's the best player of the whole team tonight?

 

Right on cue.

 

ok ok ok...Lin making a shot....kinda...surprised

 

chandler!

 

I thought he showed flashes in the Utah game. But his defense has been MIA the last three games, and especially in this one.

FINALLY, A BANK SHOT! This was one of his signature plays with the Knicks.
