    You know, I'm as disappointed as anyone today. It made me sick the way we lost that game. But wow, you people calling Lin all these terrible names have no class at all.

    Calling someone a "POS" because they screw up in a basketball game? Really? It's just a game. It's true that we all want to win, and are disappointed when we lose, but no player on this team played flawless basketball. I'm really more disappointed in Harden this series than Lin. At least Lin gives effort when he's on the floor.

    I'll admit that I won't shed any tears when Lin is gone, but kicking the guy when he is down by calling him every derogatory name you can think of is going over the line in my opinion. It really just reflects negatively on us as fans.

    **** Lin and his chauvinistic fans. Asians loving a fellow Asian despite all his faults is the real racist garbage.

    Theres a difference between being mad at Lin for being **** at basketball and hoping he gets killed in a car accident, I hope you can appreciate the distinction.

    I said time and time again during game 3 in the game thread. I don't understand why he's getting so many freaking minutes.

    He doesn't do anything to help the team besides a few free throws and also a few midrange jumpers. He can't handle the ball. He can't shoot 3s. He can't even make a freakin layup (more than once in two games).

    He sucks unless he gets volume shots. This team is not a good fit for him.

    I think the thread is fair, let people blow off some steam

    Lin has been utter garbage and I don't see that changing anytime soon

    I've personally have never taken it beyond basketball, and yes, those people are stupid, but I was referring to the plenty of rational fans that are blaming Lin for the loss and have kept it strictly basketball.

    This guys needs to go.

    Rockets are ready to contend or should be and there is no excuse or learning from such boneheaded plays.

    Lin has too low of an IQ anyway to learn from anything.

    Again you do know we had 5 more min. to win the game

    If the game ended right after his **** up than its his fault

    Lin played like **** But only played 20 min.

    Why did bev go 6/2 TO in 37 min and give up 25 And turn the ball over when we had a chance to tie, which was the last play of the game

    Why did batum score 11 points in the 4th and OT

    Again plz someone tell me 1 positive that bev and Parsons did in the last 5 min. Of regulation and 5 min in OT

    Unlike most of u, I give equal blame to everyone not name Daniels or Howard

    My fav is howard he's the only player to show up for the playoffs

    Agreed. The Lin hate on here is to be honest, embarrassing. Anyone lurking through these forums must think Rockets fans are a bunch of ignorant bigots.

    Question: If it was Bev who made Lin's turnover tonight and Lin who made Bev's turnover at the end of OT, would people be flaming Bev like this?

    I highly doubt it, Lin would probably still be getting the blame.

    yeah I don't care if you want Lin gone because he sucks at basketball, I've wanted Rondo for ages because our PG duo just isn't good enough, it doesn't instill confidence, it NEVER instilled confidence and sadly my fears have come to fruition.

    But take a look around.

    We're posting in a thread titled "FUXK JEREMY LIN".

    Is that strictly basketball?

    It's a blight on the fanbase, and you have degenerates wanting to boo one of our own players WHO STILL PLAYS FOR US.

    I'll continue to support Lin until the day he stops wearing a rockets uniform, but fairweather fans like OP can **** off.

    Haven't read the whole thread but has anyone mention back in game 2, Harden hits a 3 to bring the Rockets back within 3 with 30 seconds left, and Lin fouls Lillard. Not sure if Mchail called for the foul or not but they had enough time to try to get a stop and a tie.

    Lin was without question the worst player on the court last night and then to f**k up like that at the end? Come on, man, Lin cost us the game. And for the record, I disagree with all the dumbasses that's taking it beyond basketball, wishing for Lin to die in a car crash and all that silly stuff, those people need help.

    Would you still hate Lin as much if Linsanity will start again, the next game. And we win the series, and other one....and?

    I hate this a-hole more then Scottie Pippen and Rafer Altson combined. Only reason he is in the NBA is because he is Asian.

    Not going to happen.


    Lin needs to go to a bad team and be a circus act for that.

    Maybe NY will take him back.

    Through the first 3 games, Jeremy Lin was the second best 2 way player on the team. He nearly won game 1 with his OT performance and made winning plays in game 3 to win in OT. He was underutilized in game 2 but played well.

    He made a critical error in game 4, the equivalent of a goal line fumble, and it cost them a chance to win in regulation. He also did not shoot the ball well, but had a good number of rebounds/assists. It would be easy to pin the entire loss on him (and McHale kinda seemed to do that in a moment of post-game frustration) but that would obscure the larger questions about performance by others that is affecting the series.

    Im getting called a LoF because I blame everyone, it's sad dude


    At the all-star break I said we should give up Lin, Asik and Parsons for bass and rondo, then we wouldn't be in this mess with

    A backup PG who shows up half the time and we seem to depend on to be as good as harden in the clutch

    A SF who's our third option who still hasn't shown up in the clutch

    And asik who's been solid

    If he redeems himself and helps win us the series then I will be the first in line to give him props. I have no confidence in him though
