    Hey man I don't post often. I really wanted to know what percentage of people thought it was a good decision to pull starters. A new thread is the only way I know of to post a new poll question.

    I see your logic worked. Doesn't matter. It's still a stupid thread and poll that doesn't represent the truth of what the other thread talks about. But more power to you and your power rangers.

    17 point lead with the first game of a back to back

    100% a good decision if he didn't make it than there would be something to discuss

    Because the OP in this thread misrepresented in the Poll what the other thread is about, here is a summary:

    I'm done with this thread and the other. I said what I had to say, clarified and expressed it further, and the MOF crowd can feel free to disagree. I have no problem with that.

    Let's pray for a Rocket's championship and for McHale and each of the Rocket's players to all improve and take us to the promise land, so that we can all walk down Richmond again tipsy and partying to the sound of WIN WIN WIN CLUTCH CITY WIN!

    i'm sure if that doesn't happen, and whatever players or coaches make mistakes, this board will surely continue to point those out and produce threads about it.

    Okay the poll is misleading. Yes rest Harden, Howard and maybe Lin but leave Asik for defense and maybe Garcia and brooks for offense and a couple of 3rd stringers. Don't just throw in the whole third string. Asik isn't playing alot of minutes. There is no reason to rest him and risk a loss. 17 points is not a big enough lead against a Carlisle coached team. That is almost an insult to him and certainly a stupid move on McHale's part. Yeah he expected them to hold the lead but he certainly looked worried down the stretch. It's too hard to win in this league do not give any back.
