Jeremy Lin sets record for 6th worst PER in the history of the playoffs

Dude get over it.

Who even cares anymore. He was shlt. Build a bridge and get over it.

 

^This. Fact is you could have easily put your original post in this thread http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=238182 or this thread http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=237821. And judging by your 1300+ post from the beginning of the year, you obviously spend more time then you should on here so you should have seen them.

 

So Lin's poor performance in the postseason is now a distraction from the fantastic regular season he had? Um, yea

Almost everybody knows Jeremy Lin was a disappointment this season ACCEPT his fans. Horrible shooting, terrible decision making & careless turnovers is solid to you?

 

turrible, absolutely turrible, turribly turrible.

Do people realize alot of us on this site are Houston Rockets fans. Not Lin fans.. When all is said and done we will root for the Rockets as we have always done even before the championship days. just because we are fans of this franchise it does not mean we are going to sit here and lick the sweat off every rockets players scrotum. Some of us don't feel Lin deserves to be wearing Rockets red. He sucked. He flat out stank it up and for some they realize he doesn't deserve the praise and would like to see the money spent on Lin used on a player that deserves to be in Rockets red. This site isn't called LinFANS BUT clutchfans. We will criticize our own players if they do not play to expectations. lin did not play to expectations and is going to get criticized until he does so. Maybe this team does deserve some diff fans. We need some new blood of Rockets fans that believe in the same tradition and principals as the older ones did. All the fans with their Lin shrines do not need to be pretending to be Rockets fans and just wear a jersey that doesn't say houston or Rockets but just Lin. Because that is what they really are. Just Lin fans.

 

He never said Lin had a fantastic season, nor did he imply it. Lin shot 44 percent from the field for the season, not exactly horrible. For comparison, Bev shot 41 percent. He's been inconsistent, fir sure, and his decision making and turnovers are a problem, but I think most reasonable fans would say he had a solid season, especially considering his improvement as it progressed.

Oh, and maybe next time don't draw attention to your spelling error by making it all caps.

 

WHY WONT MOREY TRADE FOR DWIGHT HOWARD? WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE ORLANDO GM WONT TRADE HIM FOR SCOLA AND MARTIN!?!!

 

And maybe he should just stop repeating himself cos he's annoying the **** out of everybody.

We get it. Lin sucked in the Playoffs. We dont need 1000 ******* posts repeating it. Aint nobody arguing with you. Nobody arguin with you.

If you say something and its true, saying it a million times more won't make it anymore true.

 

WOW! I didn't know it was that bad.

In my opinion, a teams fan base is the most important thing it has. Without fans, a team is nothing.

If Rockets fans feel like this about Lin, then the Rockets might have to seriously consider trading him to make the TRUE fans happy.

Why don't you get a petition going and once the signatures hit critical mass, present it to Les and Daryl and there's no way they can deny you.

This way you will have saved the Houston Rockets and become the hero of Clutch Fans!!!

Brilliant!!!

 

99 forever!

 

Annoying masturbatory puritanical cult.

 

Maybe he'll be another Aaron Brooks.

 

Did Brooks stop playing in 2009-10? I thought he played 3rd string PG for us this season?

Living up to the reputation of Aaron Brooks is a difficult task. I doubt Lin can do that.

But I'll be happy if he can come back and put in a performance like Brooks did as a 3rd string point guard playing for the Rockets against the no.1 ranked Thunder in the NBA playoffs. Brooks was on fire! I got out of my seat and spilt my beer many a time when he went one on one and scorched the Thunder with his lightening fast speed!!!

Lets hope Lin can be like Brooks. There's definitely a possibility.

 

Yeah, he did play third string point guard for us this season. . . .

 

He is not solely to blame ... no one here thinks that, or said that, so kindly relax all you silly little lin fanatics.

But there is no question that lin played a BIG part in preventing us from advancing in the playoffs.

The sooner we trade him the better.
Hey, you want him to be where he is 'appreciated,' right?
So, send him already to a team where the demographics there will just love him up and cream themselves at the thought of him, no matter how bad he sucks.

I agree with you completely. I already stated this early in this thread, about 2nd page I believe

I don't agree with this. This sounds a bit segregationist to me. I just watched the movie Lincoln recently and I'm glad the Republicans kept the US together despite the terrible loss of life. LOFs and LOHs maybe strewn over the battlefield at the end of the day, but I think Lin should only be traded for the right reasons.

I don't think trading him to demographically supportive region is right. I'm not adverse to trading him for sound basketball reasons like upgrading our team. I don't really care too much where he goes as long as the Rockets get better.

just love him up and cream themselves at the thought of him

I hope you're not referring to Les, Daryl or CP. That would be a bit rude.

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

Not referring to them, I was referring to any of various cities where many lin-lovers reside, who often have warm wet dreams in which they spasm over thoughts of their idol.

Oh and hate to break it to you, but Lincoln, while certainly an entertaining and well-crafted film, is still just Hollywood telling a story. In other words, it is not very historically accurate.

There are countless quotes of Lincoln's that showed just how little he actually cared about slaves in reality, and how the motives behind the war were FAR more political and economical than they ever were ethical / ideological ones.

You know of these places? You are very descriptive. It's the first I've heard of it and to be quite honest, they sound a bit weird.

I am not American and I apologise for the bad analogy. I do however believe that trading Lin to a place where he will be greeted by "warm wet dreams and spasming fans sounds a bit weird. I think it will limit our trade options. What specific cities/teams are thinking of?

 

Hey, I get where you're coming from. It's a shame the Rockets lost the playoffs against the thunder, and I can see why long time Rockets fans would be angry because after Westbrook got injured, there was hope to win the series and advance to the next round. So I understand your anger, and I feel your frustration and Lin is an easy scapegoat, but you need to look at the bigger picture. I'm not going to talk about why the team lost in the end, there are other factors that were just as big as Lin's injury but this isn't about that.

I hope you will read my post and consider fairly and thoughtfully what I have to say.

In Lin you have a guy who was still recovering from injury at the start of the season. He came here with the expectation of the offense built to his strengths, and had trained in the off season to improve with that in mind. Then he finds himself playing more and more out of position as the season progresses, and having to defer to the new 'superstar' of the team, forced to play a game that is not to his strength at all. Additionally he has no reliable big man to PnR with, taking away another major strength. To finish it off, he is treated in a horrendeous manner by a prejudiced coaching staff that clearly felt him being brought back to Houston was rubbing salt in their wounds after the decision to cut him last season and Linsanity blowing up.

Despite all of this and all of the hate he has gotten on here. He has never complained or showed a bad attitude. He has been wiling to sacrifice his own game, fame, stats in order to play for the team.

Over the course of the season he improved steadily (recovering from injury helps). Compare his regular season performance in the two halfs of the season. His 3 point shot went from averaging 29% to 39%. He also averaged 18/7 per 36 in the last two and a half months of the season.

He had a bad game one, like the rest of the team in the playoffs and was doing well in game 2 till he got injured. Then Durant intentionally hit him again in game 3, reaggravating his injury. It's sad and unfortunate both for Lin and the Rockets' that this happened because a healthy Lin would have probably meant they win the series and go on to face Memphis.

A lot of you guys are still sore about Dragic, as I'm sure Mchale was (part of the reason of his appalling treatment of Lin). But you guys are fooling yourselves if you think most other players in Lin's position would have just got their head down and played for the team like he did. And you are also fooling yourselves if you think other PGs would have produced that much better than him in the same circumstances.

Players like Felton, Dragic etc get to run the offense on their team and didn't do a whole lot better.

As to the issue of fandom, that is another sorry state of affairs. Most big global international sports teams don't have fans that are born in the city and so just start out loving the team no matter what. Most fans start following because a team achieves success on the court or signs a player they follow. After a while the fans of the player become fans of the team, not all but many.

But the attitude towards and the treatment of the fans that followed Lin to the rockets, both by the management of CF, including the owner, and the moderators as well as the so called established fans has been nothing short of appalling. You forget that they are human beings also and no one is going to take endless crap from anyone without having a reaction to it. Instead of having a solid set of rules that are applied fairly and equally the forum is run on some kind of ad hoc reputation basis creating a two tiered system where insult trading rather than constructive discussion seems to have become the norm. And don't kid yourself, Clutch, the moderators and the so called original fans bear the Lion's share of the blame in this. People will react to how you treat them.

This disdainful attitude has been there since day one and there is a sorry undercurrent of prejudice and race running through all of this. And since many Lin fans would be from ethnic minorities themselves, this is something they are liable to be sensitive to.

To sum it up, I feel sorry for Rockets' fans, Lin fans and Lin himself.

I feel sorry for Rockets' fans because you actually have a special guy and player who is only going to get better, but a small but significant group of you are too blinded by your prejudice to see this. You also had the opportunity to embrace an influx of new blood and build a stronger community but chose to piss it all away because of your ignorance and shortsightedness. And this strong vocal minority of PLH (Prejudiced Lin Haters rather than LOH's which is a misnomer though sexier, I suppose) have done the damage for everyone.

I feel sorry for Lin fans who came here hoping to cheer for Lin and for the team he played for and become part of the community only to be treated with disdain and disrespect.

I feel sorry for Lin that, in Morey and Les he actually has an intelligent GM and owner who see beyond the utterly superficial. Otherwise he could be traded to a team where he actually gets to play and is supported by the coaching staff.

In a way, it's sad that Morey is smarter than all of the PLHs (Prejudiced Lin Haters) because he sees all this and sees Lin's value as a basketball player to the team. So he is going to keep Lin here, and eventually either have him grow into one of the stars of the team (if McHale can be persuaded to let Lin play) or trade him for a valuable asset because he has enough stats and supporting evidence to sell Lin to a good number of NBA teams.

All of the PLHs should pray that Lin doesn't get traded, because if he ends up on a team where he can actually play point guard, he is going to blow up and you are going to realise what ignorant fools you really are.

But it looks like till Lin somehow becomes and all star shooting guard on the rockets, or is traded, the endless hate will go on and so will the flame wars.
