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

    He wasn't great, but his defense was superb.

    Are you serious?

    (3pt made and attempts added)

    Harden 11-32 4TOs
    Beverly 4-14


    Parsons did well shooting but had 5TOs

    You're blind if you don't see the intangibles Beverley brings that Lin doesn't. Go watch a replay and keep an eye on what Bev is doing for this team when he's on the floor that Lin isn't. I've never seen Lin set a screen once and I see Beverley do it every ****ing quarter. I see Beverley moving his body with urgency all the time. Lin just slowly side steps along the three point line with maybe one cut at best during the entire game.

    Like Harden said before tonight's game, we had a ****ing groove without Lin. Instantly ****ed things up every time he stepped on the court.

    we lost this game because our "SUPERSTAR" is a candy ass! He doesn't play ANY defense and he too much of a wuss to take the ball to the hole. Constantly settles for the 3! He gave up in this game. With 6 minutes to go he turned the ball over with a crappy pass then just watched the ball go the other way without even attempting to run the court.

    A real "SUPERSTAR" would of never passed that ball in the first place! Harden is NOT a "SUPERSTAR". He definitely doesn't have the heart of a superstar.

    I'n no Lin fan but it's ridiculous to blame him over Harden for this game.

    There would be a bit of a hole in that argument.:cool:


    Still, I don't see Jeremy as the reason we lost the series. Game 1 he was awful. The rest no way. It's not on him.

    Just shut up, man. Lin isn't the reason. No one's the reason. We gave it our best, and we went all the way to Game 6. Maybe that's all we had. I'm satisfied. I really am.

    That start of the 4th is what did us in.

    Too much predictability , he is just a guy we have to hold on to the ball. With AB and Bev zipping through we cut the thunder's defense like swiss cheese.

    His shooting was off, but why do you blame him for being parked in the corner now? McHale has instructed him to be there since the preseason! Have you seen any games this year? You're really going to blame this series on Lin, the guy barely played!

    Why are we talking about Lin? Harden is the super star of the team. Wins and Losses are on him. Harden shot 7-22. Poor showing when we needed him to step up. He also had 3 major turnovers that caused the Thunder lead to extend.

    That being said, I'm proud of the team and how far they have come. To make the playoffs itself is an A- season. Then to take the number 1 seed to game 6 is amazing. A few bounces the other way and Rox could've been in the second round. Oh well.

    I'd like to see the team core be kept intact. Sure if we get an amazing player (CP3, Dwight), then we may have to break the core. But otherwise, I'd love to see what another year of this team can do. If the Lakers taught me anything, it was that you can't just put together talent and expect to win. You need chemistry too. And this team has A LOT of chemistry. They enjoy playing with each other. GO ROX

    Was he good in game 2?

    Was he not awful tonight?

    He didn't even play in two games.

    I'd say that constitutes a big reason as to why we lost this series.

    Lin has become the official scapegoat of the Houston Rockets

    So ****ing sick of bull**** like this. Instead of celebrating how we did this season, we sit around pointing fingers at players and spewing garbage at each other.

    What the hell happened Clutchfans? Jesus Christ, threads like this should be prevented because all they do is lead to ignorant arguments between those who obsess over Lin, his fans and haters.
