    Good move by mchale. I said Lin should start as back up because he really would fit well with that offense. I'm not a loh

    Why is it disrespectful?

    McHale has limited number of games to find a working lineup.

    Lin has the same number of minutes as Beverley, the only difference is he didn't start.

    Somehow, McHale is being "disrespectful" for trying to help the team win.

    McHale wants to see how different player combinations work together. That's what preseason is for. Beverly and Lin are likely going to get similar minutes this season, whether people like it or not.

    Stupid post is stupid post.
    preseason is the time to find out who plays with who well.

    but you knew this, your post was just sarcasm, right?

    :confused:

    I don't know, maybe use the pre-season to test out more lineups so they wouldn't have to do it in the regular season?

    Are you really asking this question?

    McHale is smarter than all of you guys. And I think I smell a marketing ploy from the Rocket's front office here as well.

    Lin with the starting rotation is a complimentary player who is the fourth scoring option after Harden, Howard and Parsons. Lin with the second team is the first scoring option, and he will be playing against Indiana's second team. This could be a real opportunity for Jeremy Lin to relive his starter days with the New York Knicks in front of his die-hard fans in the Philippines and maybe Tawain as well.

    This is the best way to put Jeremy Lin in a position to give his fans a show.

    See how smart these guys are? Seriously.

    We have two good point guards. I like it.

    Again, if you like Lin (and I do), don't fear competition.

    They all got to see Lin play in the 2nd quarter. I don't see the big deal. They can play him extended minutes in the 2nd half if they want to and showcase him more. If you want to see Lin dominate the ball, that's the better way to do it.

    Things could be worse for the Asian fans, and that's pay to see the Lakers but no Kobe.
