I'm a HUGE Lin fan but i'm all about playing the hot hand and at the moment PB is playing MUCH better. I want the win more than I want to see Lin tonight.
It's not JUST about winning, it's about HOW you win. It should also be about getting better and winning by MORE. It's important that Lin, as the starting PG, get playing time so he can improve -- with the assumption that it will lead to Rockets winning more in the future.
It is sad to see some old timers can't distinguish "forcing the issue, jack up contested shots" with "playing smart, pass out of double team and trust your teammate".
