Jeremy Lin is a large reason of why we lost this series

    Obviously Lin can't be totally blamed, but look at how the rhythm of the game changed when he went in. Started losing the lead everytime. His shooting was terrible. Didn't do much at all. Let his man score on him. And don't blame it on an injury, if he's cleared to play he can man up and play. Harden is playing with strep throat, and he was in the hospital. He actually helped his team. Lin just stood in the corner and took up space. Notice both games we won, Lin did not play. If it wasn't obvious before that Beverly should be the starter, you'd have to be blind to not believe so now.

    If you want to make a compelling argument, you should refrain from using lies to bolster your position. Lin played very good defense, better than Bev.

    We may have a lot of reasons to lose this series.
    Sadly, there is no reason we have to win this series yet.

    At least the reason why lost this game. Why the hell did McHale put him in the 4th?

    He was -18 +/- and he is a fringe NBA player - certainly not a starter.

    I know its not great to just blame one player but GOOD LORD have we sucked whenever he plays. Not just on Lin sucking, but the turnaround also has to do with the fact he took AB's minutes.


    for 2 games and the first qrtr we played amazing, dictating the pace until it all came crashing down.

    To any LOF coming to out to spew your nonsense, it was plain as day and nobody will believe you. Hope Lin and all of you get traded.

    Good day.

    Look, yes he slowed down our flow tonight, but this was over when we lost the last two against Phoenix and LA. We got a bit lucky Westbrook got injured, but thats it...

    I don't understand why you would replace a scorer (Brooks) with a passive facilitator (Lin).

    Why would you change the rotation that won you two games? What in the ****

    And not surprisingly we won those two games.

    Ib4 every post defending Lin in this thread comes from late 2012 and 2013 join dates.

    We were competitive in the 3rd quarter when Lin was in the game and making great defensive plays; we started getting blown out right after he was taken out. Read into that what you will.

    He was terrible on offense, but this is not true.
