    Oh hey, a "vet" who mentions Lin and LOFs in every thread that isn't even about Lin in the first place. Also, the players you listed haven't really proven anything and arent being paid as much as Lin is for playing on the team. They also haven't been in the rotation for much of the season and to compare them to Lin isn't really fair.

    Playing Lin a lot of minutes today was also a good move.

    yup yup he decided to leave his random number generator at home and use his brain to figure out the rotations :D

    srs tho i wanted to see more asik/smith lineups. the stretch 4 can be overrated at time. two slow bigs would be a problem, but pair the big 7footer with a fast, atheltic pf would compensae for the lack of spacing. hope to see more of this vs big frontcourts

    Wow. Thanks for the insightful comment.

    You do realize that McHale cops more grief from a certain part of the fanbase for his rotation than any other :rolleyes:

    You're whining about people whining?

    Yessir. Sticking in smith for starters, knowing when to yank dmo or bev once their play started declining, yanked lin when he got tired at the end of the quarter, took a nice gamble with garcia, surprisingly patient with anderson even though he stinked although he did push the tempo which helped the flow of the game, calling timeout when the lead drop to 14? Or so instead of letting it get to like under 10. He did a great job tonight and played the hot hand only making subs when its no longer working. Kudos Mchale.

    OMGZORZ, someone who is being realistic about pessimistic bull **** on the GARM. You somehow think you had a "gotcha" moment with the whining about whining BS. The intelligent individual realizes they have a "gotcha" moment when people are complaining about everything about a team when THEY WIN and have continued to win throughout a year. It is that simple.

    His point is not corroborated by tonight's victory or effort, but by the overall win/loss record throughout the year.

    People like you, however, are insecure to the point that you judge people every single day off of their success or failure on that day. Even when success finds an individual, these same people will find fault with their achievement. This may epitomize the mindset of a Lin fanboy more than anything else. It is ****ing sad - be better than that.

    The Rockets are in no way shape or form a better overall team without James Hardin. We beat a tired team without our best player, it was a good win but lets not get carried away.

    That was a gamble, he won the gamble and good job coaching today.

    That should earn McHale some trust from the players and that's good for the push for playoffs.

    Not really. I just have an urge to point out hypocrisy when I see it.

    I mean, do you disagree with my statement? That there isn't a portion of this forum who would absolutely destroy McHale if he tried to shake his starting lineup at the PG position, even if the result is positive?

    McHale coached well today. These are things he should have done way before, such as get more production from the starting PF. Give Harden more rest. Give Anderson back-up minutes; we'll gonna need him in the future. Don't ask Delfino to be a superman out there. Make DMo one of the scoring options off the bench. etc etc

    I hope that he realizes "adjustments are NOT over-rated" and makes his adjustments quicker.

    Big time effort tonight from Coach. Playing the hottest players on the floor is really revolutionary.
