Sure why not blame Lin for the entire games that we W and L. Don't forget the coach is the one that call the shots. The coach is building a team around the $80M player that somehow got lucky on his first two games with the team. After that the coach ignore other talent players.
for the love of god....ur like a dude whose GF dumped him and just can't let go. just stop and let it go.
Lol. Why are you here? It's not "LinFans". People here care about the team. You obviously only care about Lin. You act like he's paying you. If he's trash, he's trash.
kinda being hypocritical aren't you? way to support and "care about the team"by trashing on of its players..real smooth
Thats only part of the story, keep in mind Nash had a even lower usage rate but higher TO ratio than Lin. Small sample size.
Wow the hate for Jlin is insane, I don't think many other 23 year old prospects with extremely limited experience (30 games in the NBA as a starter!) would be getting demolished by fans of their own team like this. I get that he's abit overpaid but it's not like he's getting 20mil a year, he's getting 8. Alot of players are overpaid in this league. I think many Rox fans have been waiting for Lin to play bad to jump on him, they are sick of the all the attention he gets which they attribute only to his being Asian. A couple of points to consider 1)the season just started, 2)their record is not that bad 3)he's a young player with upside who's abit overpaid right now but he's shown that he's extremely hard working and unselfish. Also his teams so far have been winning games at a decent rate I think Houston is just the wrong city and fanbase for JLin. In New York there was a genuine love for the guy, people were rooting for him. I don't see that here with Houston, even in the arena at home games they're rather indifferent towards him. Rox should look at trading JLin probably, this fanbase and media is going to put too much pressure on management and coaching every time Lin makes a mistake. I think theres even more pressure here than NY cuz at least the fanbase genuinely liked him in NY, in Houston you can tell there is genuine dislike for Lin and especially the hype and attention he brings cuz he's asian. A better fit for Lin would be cities with high Asian populations or anything on the east coast. Toronto, Golden State, Anything in California, Philly. I think the south is not the best place for Lin to play, they don't want him down there to begin with.
I am wondering whether you are actually a LOH in disguise, because whatever you say is NOT supporting Lin at all. You are trying really hard to drive people away from Lin, and as humble as Lin is, he certainly wouldn't appreciate "fans" like you. Jeremy played poorly last night, not because of one air ball. But that air ball was the exclamation mark from last night. Rockets win as a team, and lose as a team; however, players do deliver different performance. Lin has been disappointing this season, not just comparing to Dragic or Lowry, not only is he nowhere near Linsanity at its height, but also he's subpar comparing to himself under Woodson. You can analyze the reason all you want to, surgery, new team, new system, etc etc. But you can't spin that performance to anything satisfying. Rockets was the ONLY team who offered Lin a contract, not any contract, but the biggest CBA allowed for Lin's situation. Obviously, fans have certain expectation from him. You have no idea about Houston Rockets, that's fine. You have no idea about basketball, that's fine too. You don't care about Rockets team success, still, that's fine by me. But, you are on a private forum, talking to many fans welcomed your idol with open arms, at least, you can pretend you have some basic manner. To borrow a phrase from you, with "fans" like you, Lin doesn't need any hater.
it almost seems like the more 'set plays' the coaching staff tries to install, the worse off the chemisty is between lin and harden. The freeflowing offense of the first two games when they didnt have a 'feel' for each other almost seemed more natural and effective than having lin give the ball up at almost half court and then proceed to the corner and sit...ala...knicks and melo....wow...how little has changed since he got traded. what a shame for everyone involved.
yea Ive tried to be patient and I wil for a little while longer, but I am very very concerned with Lin.. I mean he plays like timid one time, confident another, and then looks like he doesnt belong on the court on other times, its kind of embarassing to watch actually 25 million for a player with these ups and downs? sigh, missing KLow and Dragic, frikkin Mchale
Rockets fans are generally pretty lenient on youngsters. As you can see in your short time here, Rockets fans like to blame our coach for any lack of success by our youngsters. So Jeremy Lin is a very, VERY special case. As to the reason why, if you haven't figured it out yet, here's a hint. Spoiler http://bbs.clutchfans.net/announcement.php?f=9

Just trade him to the Lakers already. At least over there he will play for a coach that will let him play his kind of ball, and where he will actually learn from one of the best PGs in the league. Just for the record, I do not think is trash, I think Lin will become a great player. I am huge, huge Lin fan - but all yall Lin homers, need to take a step back, take a break from Lin, and stop getting too emotionally invested in him - during these next 1-2 years (while Lin develops), I think most of you will commit suicide. Just let the haters hate, and roll with - you do NOT have to argue everthing.
I was very disappointed that he missed the wide open 3 and particularly feel sad for him that it's an airball. He knew it he let the team down ("my fault" he said right after the miss). But other than that, I don't see he played POORLY last night in view that he played as a SG more than a PG. Gogi/Lowry >> than Lin, We miss them, Lin SUCKs. If they remained with the team, ROckets can do this and that, etc. etc. And this happened even before the regular season started. As such, I am not sure MANY of the Rockets Fans, as far as I could see in this forum, WELCOME him with OPEN ARMs. my2c
Don't bother with being logical man, these guys only see what they want to see. their hatred has their blinders on. I find it weird that these so called basketball experts fail to acknowledge the fact that a 23 year old pg with good athleticism, size and upside, who has shown an ability to help his team him, and sacrifice his own stats to help his team. They look at this inexperienced young player and after only a few bad games come to the conclusion that he will never amount to anything and is not even starting material. I don't get it.... but actually I do. There is more going on here that just basketball, this type of hate comes from another place, I know cuz I've seen and felt this sorta thing before.
You sir are too emotionally invested. And you need to take a break from this forum, and stop posting such idiotic nonsense.. who the **** cares if people in this forum have not welcomed him with open arms. you cannot be serious -what are you his mother.
I said Lin played poorly not just based on his numbers, but also on the way he played. He's the starting PG, but he simply gave up the ball to Harden BEFORE mid court. He didn't shoot well, and then he totally gave up the point guard duty, how is he supposed to contribute? Yes, he played hard on defense and he actually improved in that department comparing to his time with the Knicks. BTW, giving up the PG duty doesn't automatically make you a SG, especially when you don't even shoot and shoots poorly. At this point, I'd rather Lin put up some bone-headed play, driving to a wall or launching ill-advised shots, instead of playing timidly, without any confidence. Comparing to your ex girl friend, doesn't mean you don't want your new girl friend, that's just human nature. When your new girl friend disappoints, you will miss your ex more. That's human nature too. It has nothing to do with the race of the new one.
ROFL you think this is Lin's choice? Seriously???? Or are you just trolling? Just in case you are for real....he is being told to give the ball the Harden and he is being made to camp out at the 3pt line when Harden goes hero iso mode.
So what is your point? Lin is a scrub and should be on the bench? We all saw the airball, and it was embarrassing. It happens to the best of them. I hope you don't plan on bringing up this airball throughout the course of the season.
Coach revealed this deep secrete to you only? What if Lin refused to do so in one possession? Will the coach punish him? It's a ball game, coaches can have game plans and all, but ultimately players will play based on their own ability, judgement, and game situation. If coaches couldn't even force Brooks to pass the ball to Yao Ming, no coach in the world can force ANY starting Point Guard to give up the ball before half court. It's in Lin's head, not in coach's mouth.
