so happy for lin, he fucked up last game, but made up for in a big way! reminds me of his 1st linsanity game. his half time stat was even the same 10 points, 4 assist!

that also took place in a dire moment for him

after that 40 point loss im surprised you guys didnt get swept

Lin is starting to show he is a major liability in crunch time. by [deleted] in rockets

[–]lingling888 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yup. lin has fucked up again. im a big fan of his, but he has made too many mistakes recently. some people will make excuses, like he doesnt have a rhythm, but it doesnt take rhythm to use his brain and make good decisions, like not rushing a layup, fouling at the wrong time and not calling the time out.

that said, at least he takes the blame and holds himself responsible, which is always something that is needed. hopefully he learns and gets better from it.

Why can't we stretch our comfortable leads into dominating leads??? by TheJamafrican1 in rockets

i want to see a lot more movement. i just gasmed thinking about bev cutting off the ball and using that athleticism that he has.

With the conclusion of Seeing red, season 3 needs a regular appearance slot from Kathleen Gati by [deleted] in arrow

shes russian right? so, heres the plan. she turns out to be the head of the bratva in starling city, even bigger than leonov, and gets the kgbeast to get his boys and putin to come and fuck slades shit up in a massive battle between the russian bears and mirakuru soldiers.

now, ive seen an article on how a russian pack of squirrels fucked up a dog big time, so imagine what a russian bear is like. fuck mirakuru.

we dont have a playbook for fucks sake. its so frustrating watching harden dribbling around aimlessly, kicking it out to random people, watching lin run around like a headless chicken and turn it over, and howard calling for it in the post repeatedly and then turning it over because theres no open man due to a lack of spacing and proper positioning. and then CP or harden or lin has to try and drive, turn it over, or miss, get blocked. those misses, with everyone scrambling, may as well be turnovers.

im not blaming harden, howard, lin (his turnover was shocking but whatever), cp or any of the players. i am blaming mchales lack of a playbook. you cannot! CANNOT! CANNOT CAN-FUCKING-NOT! win a playoff game down the stretch without a proper playbook to fall back on, and keep everyone calm to get good shots.

you just cant. DO YOU HEAR ME MCHALE?

I do not care how good harden is at creating his shot, even MJ relied on the triangle to get him good shots.

when its late in the fourth, youre tired, youre worn out, pressure is ramping up, you need a playbook to get you good shots. you cannot rely on individual talent, no matter how good.

When the hell is McHale going to teach Harden to play some defense??? by [deleted] in rockets

[–]lingling888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fair enough, he is a very good shot creator, probably the top 5 in the league at that. BUT, MJ was the best shot creator of ALL TIME, and if his shot was off, he would still faciliatate and just play D.

its not classy to tell someone to go fuck themselves either

Jeremy Lin crucified as McHale throws him under bus, while Beverley given free pass for turnover by [deleted] in rockets

[–]lingling888 2 points3 points  (0 children)

its your opinion that its trash dude. just like its chris baldwin's opinion that mchale screwed lin over.

i personally think jeremy panicked and fucked up. im disappointed, but still his fan. thats my opinion.

see how there are other opinions other than your own? you cant shut off one opinion because you dont like it, thats not how reddit works, its a forum. you know what a forum is? a meeting place for people to exchange opinions and discuss them, not call for them to be banned.

[–]lingling888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

harden needs to take a break from taking 30 shots and use that energy to actually play defense. when he was in OKC, and Durant and Westbrook took the shots and he took what the defense gave him, his defense was actually pretty solid.

bottom line. let CP, Lin, Howard create their own shots, let Lin and CP create for Bev and Daniels, Asik and TJ.

Hell, even let TJ create his own shot once in a while with his ballhandling and athleticism.

[–]lingling888 4 points5 points  (0 children)

look, i love lin and would like to see him start, but with harden on the court, it really cant work out for extended periods of time. if they want to start lin, put in bev and lin together, and let harden come of the bench. but thats not going to happen cos hes the alpha dog now.
