Nothing surprising with Harden and Parsons sitting. Must admit, the sitting of Lin is a bit surprising. It's not like he's burning huge minutes. Things that make you go "Hmmmm....."
Perhaps Lin has been dealing with his own injuries that no one has talked about. Wasn't his back an ongoing issue this year? Glad to hear it. As for the replacement players...RGV ball the way!
Not really, lin is the 6th man. No reason to risk him he plays a very important role given how terrible our bench has been.
Who is starting I wonder? Pat Bev Tony Daniels Robert Covington Terrence Jones Dwight Howard I would love to see Tony Daniels get a chance to stroke some 3s with Dwight in the post.
Yeah maybe, he is still riding the bike when he's not in the game which usually means he doesn't want his back to tighten up on him. Any news on Canaan and Covington being recalled to play tonight?
OK sit the players that have basically been sitting for the last month. cheke64 logic. It makes since to get both D12 and Bev some time on the court tonight. Not 40 minutes just a little time to keep their timing and continue to shake off the rust so they are ready heading into the play-offs.
Maybe they are confident about his confidence/mental game, but are more concerned with keeping him healthy for the playoffs.
Possible back precautions, I'm sure... I've noticed he hasn't appeared on the bench in the beginnings of games again recently, so he's probably riding that bike with the heat pack on his back to stay loose like he did in the past... On top of that, that left wrist seems pretty banged up. A little rest will be good for Lin.
