    1/7 GAME 1: LOSE
    3/7 GAME 2: LOSE
    1/6 GAME 3: LOSE
    OUT GAME 4: WIN
    OUT GAME 5: WIN
    1/4 GAME 6: LOSE

    Just wondering. What planet are we on again?

    I like Jeremy Lin. He's Asian.

    I like him for that reason too. But I absolutely hate him for his recent lack of solid consistent playing ability when it counts! Nothing personal about it.

    Is there a problem that I'm new? I'm a Houston native, buddy. I just haven't spent half of my life up until now on forums. Perhaps that will change now that I have gone past the boiling point with pent up frustration with this team. We were SO CLOSE to making history! BLEW IT!

    Oh, and sorry.. I seem to have lost my lifetime supply of kool-aid, laughable hypocrisy, and tinted glasses.

    Correlation is not causation. So many posters on this forum need to study that statement carefully and learn its meaning.

    a starting PG finishing with 8 pts and 0 assists in 33 minutes in a do or die game 6 would draw my ire.

    Dude, he got hurt. What did you expect? It's more shocking to me that Patrick Beverly became a game-changer in the series. People need to lay off Lin.

    And the study of functions is only a limited part of mathematics.

    Most new fans (2012-2013 join date) are pro-Lin....it was a joke.

    Should I bring up the statistics of what the Heat's winning percentage is with Birdman on the roster vs Birdman not on the roster this year? I mean, since we're bringing up random correlations between wins and loses.

    Only the planet that would be dumb enough to consider this solely as a direct link to wins and losses

    The Heat are 33-3 since they signed Birdman. We should offer him a max contract.

    Westbrook has been a no show since game 2 WHEN IT COUNTS. OKC should cut him

    The statistics are FACTS. You cannot dispute them. Find any correlation you like, who asked you to read into the numbers so much? I just presented them! Defensive much?

    And, stop being so blooming sensitive, your favorite player is NOT beyond criticism! And you wonder why people here have gotten SO sick of the blind adoration and knee-jerk responses to any criticism whatsoever ... and yes, I am a long time lurker.

    Seriously? This is getting really old. The GARM is all either "Harden sucks" or "Lin sucks"... Let it go.

    He did get...you know...a chest contusion in Game 2. Anyways, Lin played bad. But he didn't lose the series. He's not that important.

    There were obvious implications in the stats presented that any reasonable person would make. You seem quite sensitive to the responses to your post. Consider that.

    Straw man

    Appeal to hypocrisy

    Thanks, come back when you learn some logic.
