    19 minutes for Chandler Parsons. McHale benched him and brought Lin in for a 3 guard lineup when the game went south in the 3rd quarter.

    Remember this next time you complain about Lin's minutes.

    McHale apparently forgot his seething hatred of Lin tonight. He must not be well.

    Or that McHale never makes adjustments or isn't willing to be creative. Ballsy move by McHale today.

    How could this happen? McHale doesnt know how to make adjustment. I think McHale must have a high fever.

    it wasnt necessarily only for Lin.. McHale could've kept Parsons in the game instead of bringing in Motiejunas

    you guys are sooo clueless....

    Chandler got a pass to catch his flight to see his first ever Superbowl match.

    Actually NBA have to fine the Rockets for letting chandler rest earlier.. like the spurs -Heat game:grin:

    Obviously benched for speaking out against Harden and causing a rift between the entire team

    Can't believe that b*stard McHale would put Lin back in the game with 3 minutes left and the game locked up. Jeremy is a starter quality player and should be resting when a game is locked up. :grin:

    This is actually exactly how one can complain about Lin's minutes. Even when Parsons is benched he does not get 30 min. When is he ever going to get minutes?

    Lin may not get enough minutes on this team and it may not be anyone's fault.

    The amount of ignorance about McHale is amazing. First, the sets that he runs and even some of the substitutions and final plays are based on observations and decisions from the bench.

    McHale doesn't hate Lin. All McHale wants to do is win.

    He isn't Popovich or Carlisle, but he is better than over half the coaches in the league. He is a strong leader and keeps his guys on the same page.
