    so yeah...like I said, McHale does not trust Lin.

    Hell after tonight, I'm tempted to think we should trade Asik too if McHale keeps pulling crap like this.

    I just got the courage to vote yes. I couldn't do it at first because I love this team but this Jlin benching is getting ridiculous. My vote is iwith a heavy heart yes. :(:(:(

    We are just trying to win here dude, if Rockets did win tonight, there won't be such a big outcry.

    I woulda still been pissed about it. Benching a guy whos got a double double to adjust to the other team when we did the EXACT same thing before and lost...I don't even know what to say. I don't care if we won or lost, that is just STUPID STUPID STUPID.

    You don't care if we won or lost? That's what's making this board weird.

    you're not reading it correctly. the decision was stupid whether we won or lost. Please tell me you're being intentionally obtuse.

    What is stupid is that it is obvious that the offense runs better with Lin in the game. I like Beverley's game but he isn't at the same level as Lin. There was no reason not to put Lin back into the game, it seems like Mchale thinks because Beverley is harassing the other teams pg that he is actually playing better.

    Harassing the other teams pg changes things up some but Lin actually plays better D on most of the pg's in the league.

    I'm so pissed at Mchale tonight, I usually try to give him the benefit of the dount but tonight was total bulls***.

    the most frustrating thing is he himself said last week that "we're gonna need lin to play at a high level for the rest of the season", referring to the last dallas game. well, then give him a freakin' chance to do that for you! is he expecting lin go 21 and 9 in 3 quarters every game?

    Why so he can excel so we look dumb like last time.


    Imagine how upset Les will be if the Rockets trade Lin for a role player and then Lin avg 22 ppg, 9 apg, 2 spg for someone else who does some damage in the playoffs.


    Morey would lose his job in a sec. He aint dumb this wont happen.

    During Linsanity Morey got a mouthful from Les all the time.

    I suspect the MIT guy is too smart to make the same mistake 2 times in a role


    The only reason to trade Lin is for a star but since Mcfail limits Lin's minutes and talks down his trade value by bashing him so much in the press this aint going to happen.

    Lin is staying here regardless if it's good or bad.
