Why is everyone caught up in placing the blame on this player or that player?

I'm piss.

We should be up in the series. We gave away 2 games, and really almost 3.

We play stupid. We have low awareness of the situation. We are a dumb team. Bev is the exception.

Now, just move on and win game 5. Take game 6. See you at game 7.

 

It's human nature to blame / look at the negatives, when you lose.

 

Welcome to the Internet

 

Hope you're something better, in your next life.

 

Yeah, it was a boneheaded play. But you gotta realize a lot of things went right in order for Portland to hit that 3. Jeremy pretty much got the 2nd rebound too.

And while I agree we put ourselves in a bad spot if a game was decided by a 3 pointer, it was a crucial mistake and this is the playoffs. I do blame Lin for the loss, but if he redeems himself in the coming games and we somehow win the series, well, that's what sports is about and I would embrace it.

 

Fans are going to be fans OP. Are you not a fan pimpn? Do you not show different type emotions throughout the game? You never got pissed about a boneheaded play that cost your team the game? Let your fandom out and stop holding it in.

 

LMAO

that must have been a typo right? not bad english?

 

I am going to blame Drexler and his color commentary.

 

Why are you here? Just delete your account because you don't need to be on a rockets FAN site with your BS.

Yes Lin made a dumass mistake which most likely lost us the game. I say most likely because it was still a 2 posession game and portland could have very well beat us or tied the score anyways.

But let's not overlook the fact that Kmac was standing there like an idiot watching Lin be a dumass instead of motioning for a timeout right when he got the rebound.

And let's also not forget how this team coughs 10 point leads like they are nothing. Seriously at the end Parsons was getting abused in the Batum/Aldridge PNR.

But yeah lets make one player the scapegoat. That's fine.

 

LOFing at people has become part of this board's core identity. I wasn't here in the old days but I will be very interested to see if the dynamic changes sometime next year when Lin is gone.

 

because they have so much time in their hands and hatred and bitterness in their souls

 

eh it is what it is...people get riled up over sports(whether that is right or wrong is a different conversation). People are killing paul george for playing like doo doo in the pacers/hawks series. What i do think is not cool is all the racist **** and death threats ish people are saying. And guarantee these people would be quiet as a church mouse if they had a chance to really do something.

 

GARM gonna GARM

Problem is on this board and other boards there really isn't that many smart people that actually understand the game of basketball. People just don't realize basketball is a team game and that blame should be placed on the team as a whole and not just 1 or 2 individuals. Sure players are going to make mistakes but that only shows they are human. Its just how the team recovers from those mistakes that shows what this team is made of and what they can do

 

What did you think was going to happen when Lin fans showed up en masse and over the last two years have trashed every player and coach on the team as well as tried to cherry pick statistics in defense of Jeremy Lin's play? Where were you then talking about how it was a huge problem? It's been two years of this stuff.

 

omg, two whole years! who knew the internet was like this?!
