Jeremy Lin getting bullied on the Rockets

[litex]

there's also another play in the 3rd (or 4th?) where lin gets fouled hard and none of his teammates help him up except for beverely. they just looked at him and walked away LMAO

I noticed that too. Its always been obvious Harden doesn't like Lin, and Howard being a lousy teammate is nothing new...

But its sort of sad that Parsons is following their lead. He and Lin used to be buddies, but Parsons these days seems much more egotistical and show-boaty.

I don't feel bad for Lin because he's a diva himself. He's just being bullied by a bigger diva (Harden), and the biggest diva in all of sports (Coward).

Beverley is the only guy who does that... he will sprint cross court to help a teammate up.

Dwight Howard is turning into the black widow wife that keeps murdering husbands and collecting the insurance. Top 5 COAT easily.

When has Lin ever been a diva? Getting **** of media hype isn't the same as being a diva--off the court Lin is nice to his teammates, and on the court he's consistently tried to do whatever the coaches have asked of him.

BTW there is no big on Lin being bullied. On every teams it happens. They communicate.
Can someone explain this : When Kobe or Jordan act like this on their temates you say it's leadership. When it's Harden and Howard you say they are toxic....

In the Incognito thread, pretty much everyone pointed out that Jordan was a bully.

Someone posted an anecdote on reddit the other day about how they go to Rockets games and routinely see Lin being yelled at and made the scapegoat when things go wrong.

I don't think there's any real animosity there though, it seems like it's more of a Mario Chalmers type situation where for whatever reason he's the team whipping boy

Mario Chalmers deserves everything he gets though, he's constantly making dumb plays. This sounds more like Lin takes the blame regardless of whose fault it actually is. I don't understand how anyone could fault Lin for taking that shot; the clock was counting down and he had to put it up.

Kobe and Jordan in their primes generally gave full effort on both ends.

Harden simply wants to ISO, and pat his PPG numbers, and Howard is well...... Howard.

And Chris Kaman who helped Lin up. Beverly and Kaman were the only ones who helped him up.

With all the aforementioned occurrences in mind, this does have an Richie Incognito smell to it (not in the sense there's racism involved, but just straight up divas bullying Lin)

I feel bad for Lin. It looks like he is trying his best out there. I hope he gets traded from that cancer enviroment

[knicksRback]

Lin doesnt deserve all that tbh, people should be **** ripping their hair out at Howard, dude is complete garbage at the line and the reason why they lost.

[NOODLESTYLE]

I would believe this until I read the Howard part. I bet if Howard did indeed go "berserk", he probably apologized and offered to get ice cream and play video games after. Him and Lin were talking with each other throughout the game, especially during free throws.

[TommyB]

If you look at that play, Nash screened(aka bearhugged) Lin. Beverley is then supposed to switch, but Gasol screened him. Then it's Howard, who did switch, but was too late. It was Howard who was late to cover Blake and he blames Lin. Somewhere Kobe and Stan Van Gundy are giggling that Dwightmare season 3 continues on in Houston.

Dwight had the balls to body Stan Van Gundy and then Kobe (which obviously failed hard because Kobe isn't taking any of that ish). Now Jeremy is getting bodied and James Harden is joining in.

[Optimus_Steel]

Newsflash: Dwight yells at all his teammates.

I feel terrible for lin. I think hes getting the type of treatment because of his contract. Its not his fault the rockets gave him that contract.

Parsons wants a bigger role. Gotta get that paycheck. Money before bros.

All I can say is, after Dwight left Orlando, the Magic are a WHOLE lot more fun to watch. There's just so much more enjoyment and chemistry in this team. Yes, different players, but you can see it in Jameer escpecially. The young guys are all in good spirits and connecting well. There's no big clown dramab*tch dragging everybody down or publicly throwing them under the bus.

Dwight is a self-centered, overly-selfattached, d*ckhead who takes no responsibility or leads a team. JJ Redick once laughed or chuckled when a reporter asked him about Dwight's words on him being a leader of the Magic. He isn't. He blames and points fingers. Everybody else is to blame, yet he is so often the main reason his teams lose. He and Harden suit eachother well.

[Zubby]

No one even knows what was being said... smh
I saw Bev talking to Dwight earlier because he didnt call out a screen and Bev got blasted... where are the "omg Bev is picking on Howard"

Until you know what is happen really shouldn't make assumptions.

[AJ Valliant]

Have we become so soft that athletes yelling at each other about in game performance in the emotionaly charged moments after a loss is considered bullying? By this standard Jordan never would have been able to come within 100 yard of the arena because of all the restraining orders his teamamtes had against him. Man the F**k up, be a competitor, let it fuel you. This isn't kindergarten...show some f**king testosterone.
