    Burning Lin jersey? Who the F**k has a Lin jersey? We need to kick those mofos out of Houston too along with Lin.

    F*** Harden first of all. Then Lin and Beverley. Our woes are mainly Harden. Why the f*** was he trying to flop on important game deciding plays in the playoffs? Lin running around like a headless chicken as well as Beverley.

    But at least Lin was balling in Game 1. Harden has yet to really show up imo. He's volume shooting and trying to go Kobe half the time.

    But I'm pissed most of all at McHale for not making a big enough adjustment in this series to get it tied up.

    Ball needs to go through Howard almost every play. It's that simple.

    Lin's mistake in that situation was crucial. That can't be denied, and I think he would be the first to own up to it. The Rockets probably would've won in regulation had that TO not been made.

    Lots of teams lose close games on mistakes. OKC lost 2 OT games because of turnovers and bad decision making. That didn't stop them from pulling it together to win their 3rd OT game with some help from Reggie Jackson who had been a non-factor in the prior 3 games.

    Lin has played well in 3 of the 4 games (and also for portions of this game). Had he secured that ball and either called time out or found an outlet, I think most would've said that his 5 rebounds and 4 assists and defense contributed to the win despite an off-shooting night. But that's the nature of the playoffs. Mistakes are magnified and the stage can be unforgiving. The playoffs is also a place for redemption.

    That's why teams don't chalk up a loss to 1 play. The Rockets are still in this series. It will be up to McHale to keep his team relaxed and confident and to focus on the things they didn't do well in the second half.

    I'm honored that you take the time to look into my personal life. I must either really get to you, or you're a fan. Especially since you still hide behind your name.

    not going to distract from this thread like you're trying to do. Hop off lins nut sack.

    Lin is a ****ing scrub that was given a placed on this team to sell jerseys. He canmot play basketball. A blind person can see this. Get him out of Houston.

    When players make the same mistakes over and over again and are still put in those positions to make those mistakes over and over again....that's on the coach.

    This team really hasn't gotten a whole lot better over the course of the year. They still make a lot of the same mistakes they've made since game 1.

    Mchale can't get Lin to not make dumb simple mistakes? If not, why does he keep putting him in when those mistakes cost us the most?

    Lin is good for a team going nowhere but not on a contending team.

    The fact that your willing to wait says more about you and ****ing scrubs.

    LIN is good to play with a bunch of scrubs where he can be the primary ball handler.

    If we all donate $300 (*50,000 CF Members) to the tip jar known as Les Alexander maybe then we can cut Lin and cover his salary for next year. I sure as hell would send a $300 check to Mr. Alexander if he would cut his sorry marketing gimmick ass tomorrow.

    Who is with me?

    No thanks.

    Alexander wanted marketing $$ and took a gamble by giving Lin that bloated contract.

    Let Morey and Alexander go to bed with it.
