    Starting again or bench role?

    JLin's shown tremendous improvement over last season.

    As long as Brooks isn't playing I'm happy.

    J-Lin's gonna go back to the bench. Aside from today, Lin has been very below average since Bev's injury. 13 points, 3 assists, 3 turnovers, 3 rebounds a game on 32% three-point shooting and 40% shooting.

    I think Lin can have an impact on this team, but that role has to be as the sixth man. He showed today and has shown in the beginning of the season that he can give the 2nd unit that spark and cohesiveness that they lack.

    He can come in to replace Harden at the 2 for 10 minutes a night, and replace Bev for 20 minutes a night, and he'll get his 30 minutes a game.

    definitely back into the starting lineup. Not trying to hate on Lin, but our bench is terrible as it is. Lin coming in and giving us offense vs opposing benches served us well early in the season well and I'll be shocked if that changes.

    Im going to upset the BOF's here but I think Bev should come off the bench.

    PBev? really.

    CDrex and JBull would never call him that.

    He will be the starter and deserves to be. he is the right fit with the starting line up and Lin is best off then bench.

    I think Bev will start again because our bench has been really non-existent. Lin will help strengthening the bench.

    I don't really care as long as it means less Garcia.

    A more important question is what will happen to AB when Bev is back. My best guess is he gets re-glued to the bench, while Garcia continues to play 25+ minutes.

    PBev will start again. Either way I don't think it matters that much. Lins the better player but good lawd our bench is so thin right now.

    Do you really think AB should get that much playing time?? I mean, he's nice insurance to have when Lin or Bev are out, but his downsides far outweight his talents. He's the best 3 point shooter on the team statistically, but when that isn't working, he's literally useless. terrible defense, not a playmaker, low iq.

    I think that when both Harden and Bev sits, AB and Lin will play together
