    even worse is when they did bring lin back into the game, they inexplicably let douglas set up the offense for most of the possessions.

    at first i was like :confused:

    It was also a bad coaching move by the Rockets staff to bench Nando de Colo and have Green guard Lin instead.

    One difference between Lin vs Douglas, which other posters have mentioned is that Lin’s abilities are higher. Douglas is maxed. Having said that, I hope they play together more often.

    Tonights game really showed that Lin and douglas can be on the floor at the same time and not necessarily be subbed in for eachother.

    Cause i'd love to see a roation of Harden/Lin starting. Douglas subbing for Lin, then Lin subbing in for Harden, then Harden subbed in for Douglas

    Typical Lin. His own worst critic:

    He kinda did but it was mainly due to Spurs good defence.

    This is true. Our good effort as well as Lin's great play is the only reason I'm not too disappointed and am looking forwards to the next game. Playing the Wizards Wednesday should be cakewalk compared to the Spurs. I expect Harden (if he plays) and Lin to show everyone they can play together. I expect the coaching staff to recognize Lin is better with the ball in his hands and let him play his game.

    Young team against the veteran spurs. Not expecting it would even be close.

    They have played well together a few times this year. Both unselfish players, no rivalry between them.

    Good point - that should work. Good to see TD playing well now - they need the depth at guard.

    Take off your homer glasses. Nando de Colo, 'nuff said.

    When it mattered, ie when was Lin subbed back in and in OT, he was a no-show.

    Yeap, it's because Douglas is a natural SG while Lin is a natural PG.
