    Is he in the doghouse? Considering this harsh back-to-back and the guards he would've played against (Lillard, Mo Williams, Curry), he would be able to score at will.

    Makes even less sense with Lin still being rusty and ineffective.

    I assume because Lin is back. Although, right now, I'd rather see AB out there.

    He really does deserve to get some burn, he is just too good of a scorer to not get any burn when one PG is having a tough one.

    Sampson is racist against black players.

    I want to see Lin and Brooks playing together again, like they did before Lin got injured. That was McHale's lineup. Sampsons lineup is playing without Brooks

    I might be mistaken, but I thought that Lin and Brooks only played together because Harden was out.

    Brooks could've been used tonight for some offense. I know we won, but some of those spells where no one on the court could really create for themselves was brutal to watch.

    I was surprised too to not see him in against the TB as AB usually plays well in Portland

    AB was playing well, Lin has looked lost---better see AB against the Kings

    We need to find him minutes. He is too valuable to this team.

    Sampson clearly wasn't the one recruiting him back to the team this offseason...otherwise, we'd have been fined...

    He has his moments, but he's still a 3rd string PG here. Plus Sampson is running the show.

    I was saying AB needed to take some of Garcia's minutes. Garcia hit a couple of big shots to keep momentum on Rox side tonight. Lin didn't bring much to the table again tonight. AB needs to go in there when either Garcia or Lin are struggling.
