I think it's been more Lin than KA.

Watching practically all the Lakers games, just do not agree, only his ability to shoot and his size by itself, already make him a good player, he will only get better and better.
Don't worry this guy has been making ridiculous statements all season long.
It doesn't make your original post any less ridiculous. Crediting Lin more than KA for our last few wins is absolutely **** absurd and delusional. Even Lin himself would be embarrassed to read some of the **** you guys post.Pistolpete1947 wrote:MrDollarBills wrote:Pistolpete1947 wrote:

This forum has so far been a big disappointment to me and probably to other "new fans" as well. I came to this forum in good faith to discuss basketball which I've always been passionate about. I didn't make outrageous claims about Lin and in fact hardly
talked about him at all. Despite this I've been labeled as a "Lin non-Net fan". It's true that I'm a fan of Lin (I can tell from comments that a lot of this forum is as well) but I've lived in the New York, New Jersey, Ct area for over 50 years and have always supported the local teams. At any rate any fan who is rooting for the Nets to win is a Nets fan.
However it appears that some on this forum are hypersensitive to Lin fans and seem to think people cannot root for Lin and the Nets team - that this is somehow mutually exclusive. So stay in your safe little bubble and discourage anyone new to take part in the discussion or be a part of your exclusive small minded circle. Way to discourage the expansion of the Nets fan base.

Don't see how that's ridiculous but okay... Lot of Lakers fans I know call him a bust. Still stand by the RHJ skills comments I made. I have been impressed that he's been contributing with hustle/activity and playing well though

i dont think brook is the difference between winning and losing the lakers game. he did next to nothing tonite outside of a 2 or 3 blocks in the first minute and we won by 15.
We will win or lose games based on shooting.13-35 from three tonite. brook playing well obviously helps our chances of winning... but we can beat LA without him. they arent some jauggernaut. the beat teams who think they can win without playing hard... but that wont happen vs us.
we hit our shots, we will win. brook or no brook
The Lakers are better than you are giving them credit for.
we will see. to me they as pretty bad. ive only watched 4 or their games, but im not impressed. most of their wins ive seen the other team didnt take them serious and when they started to it was too late

Hope LeVert pans out, then we have nice roster assembled.
RHJ could have scored 0 last night and you STILL should have seen why he can be a solid starter based on that game. his D/Rebouding/effort level is the why he is out there.
This shouldn't have to be explained. It's pretty disrespectful to our fanbase in general when non fans of this team starting coming on here giving backhanded compliments to our guys.

You two vanguard can't help take chance bashing people give honest opinion.
Don't drag "team fans vs lin fans" issue into this, it is like Hillary tactics, divide and instigate people. I saw plenty of criticism towards RHJ at netsdaily from team fans. If you emotional invested in heated debates with someone criticize RHJ before, go specifically at them, don't turn it into a holy war against non-believers.

an irrational opinion by someone who wasnt a net fan until lin signed here is never going to be met very well by diehard fans of this team....
If lin fans are going to throw players under the bus after 4 or 5 games and conclude they belong in the D-league its going to get a poor reaction. especially when the opinion is based on so little substance. We have already went through Whitehead, and RHJ and now its time to bash bogdanovic apparently...
too many of the new fans here overreact to 1 or 2 games and have enormous knee jerk reactions about players they know little about

You guys talk about a knee jerk reaction when it comes to Whitehead and RHJ. They both played poorly in summer league, preseason and the first 4 games of the season. Then they each have 1 good game and you slam their critics. So who is really knee jerking??
This is the issue, period. These guys spent the entire summer talking about the Charlotte Hornets more than the Nets, now all of a sudden they watch 3-4 Nets games and decide "oh this guy will never make in the NBA" "he needs to be in the d league" or "he sucks he needs to be traded". These same posters saying that Bojan needs to be shipped out didn't see last season when Bojan was bombing from 3pt land once Joe Johnson got cut. It's ridiculous and then it's a wonder why these opinions get called out?
The worst was seeing someone call Whitehead the worst basketball player they had ever seen. Then boom, next time out the kid posts a sweet 6-6-7 statline and plays well and people go silent. It's annoying, and its trolling

Did I ever say RHJ belongs in D-league? Stop categorizing people into team Lin fans and team die-hard.
I sense that part of the problem is small circle on this board, you two always here, often end up argue with some Lin fans, debate turn to attack on identity.

The Nets have been through terrible coaches, players who didn't give maximum effort and lifeless teams. They would have an energetic game once every other month it felt. Now they start the year with the team competing in pretty much every game. They just scored over 30 points in every quarter... with no PG. The credit all goes down to the head coach primarily.
It's incredibly disrespectful to the Nets fans to then see someone crapping on them because they are obsessed with one player. Those comments are obviously not sensible. Just like it's beyond comprehension how someone quickly judges players they don't know... going as far as saying "they are better than them".
There are new users who have a good spirit and add great value. But unfortunately for them, it's impossible to look away when you constantly see people who a few months ago couldn't care less about the Nets, act like they know the players and then pretend they are victims because Nets fans are perturbed by some of the wild things they write --- some of them I consider trolling for a lack of better word. They have a bad reputation (Lakers, Rockets, Hornets) and it's no wonder why.
There are great mods on this board and they have advised to report the posts that you consider baiting / derailing / trolling. So, I think that's what you should do, as opposed to engaging users who write 'wild' things. This is a service you do to yourself and also to the other new users who are valuable and that way won't be lumped with the 'questionable' ones.
