You can have a lot of differing views without being annoying. This thread is really just for troll baiting, how ridiculous is it we have a thread made by an obvious Lin Only Fan complaining about how Harden doesn't give credit to other people? Is this something you can really have a legit discussion on? That's why you're getting all the racist comments, because threads like these just serve to antagonize everyone else who isn't blinded by Lindom. Personally I'd permaban every LOF who posts crap threads like these.
Wait. So its only annoying when its Lin fans. Let me get you right. I don't get why it seems only ok for the Lin haters to b**** and moan about it so much, or use tongue in cheek racism to try and prevent posters. We had the same thing with Yao fans.... Same thing with TMac fans..... Same thing with Barkley fans.... Who cares if they like Lin. Who cares if they think he is the best player. Feels kind of like me when I tried to explain to people why Hakeem was the worlds best overall player when Jordan was playing. The problem is the overall tone and tolerance of the board to allow ching chong, dong, and phony poor Asian misspellings. Like I said, if the Rockets signed Lebron and we had a flux of over the top bandwagoners who put Lebron over the Rockets would it be so permitted to use ugly black stereotypes to try and shut them down? There are just as many Terrance Jones threads as there are Lin threads on the first few pages. Its really over played by the Glen Rices' on this board. We get it...you don't want constant threads on Lin, but anyone else is cool. Whole bunch kettles talking to tea pots.
Hak....you hit this on the head. I've been reading thread after thread with racism that is beyond control and it seems to be the norm. As far as my thread on Harden. Listen, there is NO question that I am a Lin fan...there is also NO question in my mind that Harden iis the best player on the team and he knows it. But he IS an ISO-ist and when Howard gets here that won't go over well if it continues. Maybe my question should have been "Has Harden given any indication that playing second fiddle will be OK with him?" Because Howard does NOT like being second fiddle.
Considering Harden played third fiddle to Durant and Westbrook you don't have a leg to stand on nor a valid point. Not that you ever intended to do anything other then discredit Harden because of your obsession with Lin
Calm down bro. They'll do lots of bonding in the local strip clubs and figure how to share and pass girls back and forth to each other.... and once you're cool passing a girl around, passing an orange ball around is no problem.
Part of the problem is that a Harden iso is better than any Lin on ball plays and then Lin also isn't a good off the ball player either. He's basically a warm body that replicates an inferior product to Harden and doesn't really provide anything meaningful from a set of specialties that Morey seems to want out of role players (e.g. Parsons cuts and 3p% on spot ups are both extremely effective). It wasn't what he was originally signed for so he's become a bit of a square peg in a round hole.
I'm not questioning Harden's role LAST year...I'm questioning the new dynamic with a volatile Dwight Howard.
It may be that I just don't read Lin threads all the time, but I haven't seen many racist jokes (I've seen the Asian misspellings). It could be that theyre deleted before I see them. But if you do see it and just report it, clutch/rockets2K will deal with them. Also there's only one jones thread and there's like 4 Lin threads, I don't see what you're saying. Also think of how many Lin threads there has been all year, countless bit**ing from both sides. If you see someone trying to troll bait then just report them and ignore it...
You can't look at the title to determine how many Lin threads there are anyway. Every thread eventually becomes a Lin thread...
I kindly request you to note here for us these posts with racism beyond control. That is a bold-ass statement, so back it up.
Why would there be a problem? Dwight is as easy money as there is near the rim in the nba and they're trying to win.
Why wouldn't he be willing to share the spotlight with Howard? Nothing in his history suggests he would be opposed to it. You're creating something that simply isn't there.
So...does that make you feel "cool" that you found a pic of me? You are so internet savvy...my, my my. Have some class man...
