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

This game is to develop Tony Douglas. Too bad for Lin.
Lin, shake this one off and prepare your battle for Knicks.

 

Why because it's Lin? Oh my, don't dare say anything other than Jeremy Lin is the best basketball player on the plannet! All his issues are related to system and coaching! It's clearly Sampsons fault Jeremy can't hit water if he fell out of a boat!

WAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Please. There is nothing wrong with going to the D-League to work on your game and there is likely not another starter in the League with a more desperate need to work on his game.

I'm more concerned with the Rockets winning games than hurting someones feelings by speaking the truth. JLin needs to work on his game somewher besides an NBA court. Right now Raymon Felton is playing about a 100 times better than JLin and he is making Steven A Smith look like a basketball genious.

 

LOF- "Lin is doing horribly...the coaches suck, hurting Lins potential lets change coaches!"

GTFOLOFs

 

It's basically to win each game at all costs, which for the youngest team in the league, is not necessarily the best course of action. He's an assistant coach praying that one day he gets a chance to become a head coach...a resume with a winning record will help his chances.

 

Dishing out 10 assists on a team where nobody else can create there own shot outside of Harden is impressive. You can critisce his FG% sure but he still had a solid game getting into the paint at will & setting his teammates up for high % shots. His decision making was on point that game ask Kobe if you don't believe me he said it himself. The offense was ticking with him out there against LAL, tonight not so much.

 

Unlike the Portland game, I had no problem with Sampson benching Lin. (It pains me to say this, I'm here because of Lin.) Lin has had poor games before, but this time, it seemed like his head wasn't in the game. He was making decisions that were head scratchers. And tonight, our best PG was TD.

I hope this was a one-game thing, not a meltdown. The fact the Rockets won might take some of the pressure off.

 

Yeah this forum is definitely negative. Instead of great game chandler and harden Had we just bash a player. Why is that ?

 

Winning is always the most important thing especially when it's the 11th game of the season.

 

Not like this. I was here during the Yao/Tmac era(with my previous account which was suspended for cussing) and none of those guys were hated by the fans like this whenever they had a bad game. This is on par with when Yao was destroyed by Boozer in that playoff sereis.

But the team won, shouldnt we be happy?

 

Good question Solidz75. I say Play all of them till they are writhing on the floor. Heck, it makes ALL the fans happy that they see not only their 'stars' on the floor all the time, but also the championship devotees will get their top 3 draft pick next year with the worst record in the NBA.

 

Why because it's not the truth you want to believe. And yes being a hypersensitive LOF does make him a troll. He is not interested in a Rockets win, only whinnning because Sampson pulled Lin out of the game.

Absolutely nothing Trollish about me saying that Lin needs to go to the D-League to develope his game and regain his confidence.

 

Free Rafer Alston!

 

TD had a great game, happy for him.

Just wish Sampson could trust Lin the same way he trusted TD, support Lin the same way he supported TD. TD played great under Sampson, made mistakes in previous games, but still got the trust, and under our eyes, we can see wonders with coach's trust and support.

Only wish Sampson could do the same to Lin.

 

To All Lin fans,

I am a Lin fan as well, but when our idol's playing badly. We have to
1. admit to our self, he is playing badly (stop the delusional thinking)
2. stop the denial (blaming his injury---this one is the most pathetic excuse ever, blaming coaches, blaming the tactic, blaming the sun rises in the morning, blaming the star and the moon.
3. accept the fact
4. and what you can do only hope for the best in the rest of his games

 

I can't believe I left out Kevin Martin & Jordan Hill!

 

Honestly Friday is going to be a really interesting game. I want to see how Lin plays & I want to see how Sampson coaches. Lin isn't playing well right now but honestly Sampson isn't helping him he says one thing but his actions can be suspect.

 

Thats incredibly stupid, just because he laughed at your idea of sending Lin to D league, doesnt mean he thinks Lin is the best basketball player. You can't be this shallow so the only explanation is you are trolling, why go from one extreme to another?

 

No but sampson's mistake was taking Lin out in the first quarter when he was off to a good start with 2 solid assists and a great driving layup. If he is going to sit Lin after a bad play, then he should reward Lin with more minutes when he does well, especially he has been struggling to find his rhythm and confidence this season. After he came back, he was out of rhythm again.

Look I'm not gonna excuse lins play the last few games, but this coaching staff is nor providing him with support and environment conducive to his development as a player.

 

I fundamently disagree with "coach" Sampson. He is ruining Lin's confidence. It is obvious just looking at him that his confidence is shot. It was not like that before Sampson started yanking him when he was playing well.
