    That other thread doesn't have a poll. I want to show how ridiculous the OP is in that stupid thread.

    Well I don't think McHale expected the Mavs bench to drop so many 3s and that the Rockets bench would defend so badly.

    Clearly if you've read that thread you've seen me bashing 6th man. The poll question is an attempt to troll him.

    Ok, 20-1 yes is good enough to show how ridiculous 6th man is in the other thread. I'm guessing 6th man is the lone no vote. Thanks CF.

    Wow. Two threads on this topic. And we're only 2 games into the season! CF is off to an excellent start.

    OP, reword your poll question to match your thread question. It's your opinion 17 points is close, a stupid one at that.

    First, your poll options don't represent exactly what the other thread says, so yes you are TROLLING.

    The question is not whether he should have left all the starters in, but should he have left some of them in, and given them rest later.

    You act as if I said all the starters should have played the game until the end even with a 17 point lead.

    Your reading comprehension is turrible and your previous teachers should be ashamed! :rolleyes:

    Why do you feel like you have to show up some dude? Who the hell cares? And creating a thread....the fact that it bothers you so much says a lot about your priorities :rolleyes:

    I agree with you, it would be stupid to think it was a close game, or close enough to justify leaving starters in.

    I don't even post that often. I just thought 6th man's thread was so ridiculous that it deserved a poll, that's all.

    Your thread, like your logic, sucks. At least the other thread is a 2 star thread. You just created a 1 star thread buddy. SMDH

    Why are people on this forum so OCD about threads and post counts. Every thread is littered with references to this, you guys are worse than the people who post dumb threads. Let the moderators do their jobs.

    I'm going to give this thread 5 stars just because of this post.
