Well there is a hell of world out there, full of Kobe haters, Lebron haters, melo Haters Can you image how many Yao haters in China, this is not a fairyland, there are Lin haters! we dont even have to bring out the race card. Sports are all about love, hate, enthusiasm, craziness and irrationality.
DD is right, there is no such thing as LOH on Clutchfans. We as a community of all races and nationalities welcomed him and unfortunately his stupid fans too immediately his stupid fans called Rockets fans racist completely forgetting that this the organization with the greatest Asian NBA player of all time Then worse, they start calling Lin - Jackie Robinson then they start saying he's better than Sam Cassell, Kenny Smith etc These people belong in hell or the Lakersforum
The appropriate acronym would be LOFH. I am actually looking forward to seeing Lin playing for a coach not Kevin McHale. I am still curious as to why the horrible downfall after those first few games when Lin and Harden were both lighting things up. At least Clutchfans can return to normal.
Thanks Lin, for the contracts u attracted wihch no doubt had made Les a lot of money and for the memory, when u attacked the basket with confidence. Good luck in LA
I always thought some of his fans were annoying. But his haters were way worse in terms of the vitriol.
Only Lin has ever triggered this sort of vitriol out of all our players, except Pippen and maybe Skip to My Lou. Have you ever thought about why that is? YoF and ToF were bad collectively, but **** never got nearly this bad. Why is that? Zach Lowe himself spoke of the Lin crazies and you can find them in the comment section for every Rockets article or conversation. LoF's are in a class by themselves when it comes to ****tiest fans alive.
There are a lot more ways for Lin crazies to speak their minds these days. YOFs didn't have Twitter back then.
Good luck Jeremy! Thanks for the last two years with solid contribution! You will be missed. :grin: And good riddance crazy lofs, haters and trolls
A lot of Yao fans couldn't communicate in English very well. Most Lin fans live in the US. Very different. I have said it in the past, the Yao phenomenon was a China thing. The Lin phenomenon is an American thing. A lot of Rockets fans still don't understand what Lin is.
So many classless posts in this thread. It's sickening. What the heck happened to all the clutchfans. I remember thinking houston used to have the classiest fans out there. Now I see brainless drivel and classless bashing of a player that played his heart out for the team. Even in an appreciation thread these people has to spew their garbage. So what if the LoF no nothing about basketball. Did you know basketball from the start? How many of the LOF are from houston you think? How many of the original Yao fans were from houston? While I find it annoying that these fans value their boy over the team. I can understand where they are coming from. You know how you get more real rocket fans? You start by being inclusive and having reasonable and informed discussion. Sure their will always be crazies. But there will always be crazies. Spewing vitriol only push people away and ultimately the fan base is poorer because if it. Anyways. I wish Jeremy good luck in LA. You can say what you want about his game, but you can never doubt his heart. The man was a consummate professional his entire time here. I look forward to watching him grow in LA but I will never truly be a lakers fan. Wow. Guess that makes me a LOF b/c I'm a rockets fan who happens to root for Lin.
Yao fans were like robots who were programmed never to say anything bad. If Yao ran over a dog on the street, it's the dog's fault. It was like a north korean puppet show. Even when Yao has a bad they refuse to say it was bad. Lin fans have some incredible insecurity complex, thinking everyone is out to get Lin or hates him because of his race. It's extreme paranoia . The other thing is that they expect "Linsanity" as a norm. We know it was just a streak, because he's proven he's not consistent. Constantly referring to his Knicks two week streak as the apex of basketball history. Kinda like Tracy fans thinking th 13 in 33 is the greatest Rockets achievement. The difference is that Tracy and Yao were all stars and proven players, no 'cinderella' story, just real talent. It's weird how the Rockets seem to have grabbed these cult like figures. Thankfully going forward, it's just the Team, nobody on the team has a cult, not Harden or Dwight. The only Cult sells sanctuary
Ya only good thing about Lin leaving is the haters will ***** less hopeful. They are as unbearable as the so called Lin only folks. You can tell who they are the main one who only post in Lin topics and dont really contribute much of anything. Hopefully we get a servicable guard that is better than Lin and Bev.
agreed, basically only a few spoiling for something to fight about. this year is definitely going to be interesting.
