    Rockets trying to tank? Why take out Lin just 6 mins into the 3rd?

    Harden needs to look for the shot

    I'm going to assume for defensive reasons.

    Hopefully benching Lin for Canaan is just so he can play more minutes in the 4th w/o getting tired?? honestly IDK man Mchale is unpredictable indeed

    Though advanced stats now show Lin is the better defender? OK.

    Lin can't get going because he gets pull but it is his D that is costing him to lose his playing time.

    Why not put Lin on PGs? He can't be worse than Parsons.

    Because Canaan is a better matchup for Livingston or D-Will?

    In a game against the Charlotte Bobcats on February 26, 2007, Livingston suffered a debilitating knee injury, dislocating his left kneecap after landing awkwardly following a missed layup, resulting in the left leg snapping laterally. Livingston injured almost every part of his knee, tearing the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), and the lateral meniscus, badly spraining his medial collateral ligament (MCL), and dislocating his patella and his tibia-femoral joint. Livingston was told by a medical professional at the hospital that there was a chance that his leg would have to be amputated. He required months of rehabilitation to be able to walk again.[8]

    Asik said no lay ups, & unfortunately apparently that also meant on the offensive end.

    At some point in time, we might need a rebound from the PF position.

    Idk what's up McHale's lineups this game. Dmo should be in the bench so he can be our back up big. In place of Casspi as the first guys off the bench, I would put Hamilton or even Garcia. Looks like he is benching Lin or trying to segregate Harden and Lin's minutes.

    yeah. you try guard someone 4" taller.

    should have put Lin on Williams and see what happens. He defended Williams well last year.
