The Jeremy Lin appreciation thread

[MKL]

Best Jeremy HOU moment: Morey having to pay Jeremy and also publicly apologize for cutting him 7 months earlier.

Worst Jeremy HOU moment: Totally killing it in the preseason 2013 Taiwan game and then McHale demotes Lin to the bench. McHale then awkwardly afraid for his life in Asia. That and getting injured during 2013 playoffs vs OKC.

Best: Probably the 4th qtr and OT win vs POR in the reg. season

Worst: TO in the playoffs. You know the one.

Worst moment: Steve Blake 3 pointer

Kenny Smith: That was on Beverley, he should have switched.

Not going for argument, just want to make a state.

Cool. I remember he was being held so there wasn't anything he could do. I didn't mean to imply it was Jeremy's fault, just that it was his worst moment here, if that makes sense?

Best moment : Coming off the bench to score a triple double in 29 minutes, just a complete "in your face" moment.

Worst moment : Jeremy not playing 4th quarters during those stretches and succumbing to McHales' crazy substitutions.

Mmmmh.. yep..it does.

IMO his worst moment is that turnover in the PO a couple of months ago you know.

Good or bad moments, I'll miss that kid on this team. Good ball player, knows the game, has a lot of fight. He's gonna have another 8 years in the league and it sucks that it wouldn't be with the rockets.

I definitely appreciated Lin on the Rockets. He never gave less than full effort, even when things weren't going his way, never demanded to be traded when he was demoted to the bench. He's the guy that everyone would want on their team.

I became a Rockets fan because of Lin, but it was sad to see the animosity between old Rockets fans and Lin fans. I apologize on behalf of Lin fans, and I hope you understand that the majority of Lin fans were respectful on the forums (hopefully myself included). It was probably less than 5% that were the annoying types. RealGM was by far the best Rockets forum, thanks to the mods for doing a good job in a difficult situation.

Good luck to Lin on his new team and fresh start. Good luck to the Rockets as they contend in the playoffs again this year!

Thanks for two good years with Houston, but it's time for us to turn the page to the next chapter. Good luck to Lin (whenever he isn't playing the Rockets).
