    To be fair, we can't afford for Lin to get in foul trouble for the rest of the season. We don't really have *any* depth at the PG position or the 2 since Lin was playing minutes for both positions.

    Canaan backs up lin

    Hamilton and garcia back up harden.

    It is that simple. No excuses.

    You and I have *VERY* different definitions of "depth". If you think Canaan playing 30 minutes as the PG is a GOOD bet you're nuts.

    It's been a long time since the backup PG on the Rox has gotten 30min. But I agree, depth bad.

    It would be 30 minutes if Lin got into foul trouble early, which was my original point. He can't afford to get into foul trouble early or we're looking at Canaan playing big minutes.

    It's one thing if Bev pulls 2 fouls in the first 5 minutes. He always knows that Lin can cover minutes reasonably well.

    Lin won't have that luxury.

    You must not have faith in the Rockets. I guess you are not a Rocket fan. :(

    I question if he is. ItalianRocket is always down on this team, hardly has a good thing to say. Terrible boarder overall.

    Haha I wish the same my friend..(Sigh) :rolleyes:

    On a brighter note, Big Baby came by my restaurant tonight and surprisingly enough he seemed very genuine in his tone about the Pat Bev situation, but then again, cant really read much into that since I paid for both his drinks and well, his opinion is about as relevant as a poop flavored lollipop

    Troll post is obvious. Never did i say the rockets have depth or that canaan would play 30 minutes. Lin would start and play 33 min at pg. Canaan backs up for 15 minutes.

    Hamilton and garcia fill in for the 8 minutes that harden sits and casspi can help them back parsons up. The point is lin and canaan womt see the floor together. You know mchale better than that.

    Game hasn't even started and we're already arguing over Lin. Anyways, if HOWARD and HARDEN do what they're suppose to do, then everyone else should just do there best to not muck things up. That means less TO's and I want the ball to at least touch Harden's or D12's hand every possession. If they're resting then Parsons or Lin should be in at all times.

    No Bev. All Lin.

    Chris Paul must be salivating.

    Lin should come out of the game early, and bring in Cannan with Parsons and Harden controlling the ball more. Then Lin can get his minutes with Parsons and Harden sitting. Lin will have a rhythm going to finish the game.
