    Too late. I think the Spurs want him and McHale is not that high on him.

    Im just wondering if it was Yao and Lin's connection to the chinese that brought shoes endorsement to Parson. Which I think its nice since Parson is surely going to get paid more than from Nike. I feel bad for Parson...he's the key to our succes...

    Just put him on your ignore list. You'd think he's 12 or something, but I saw in some Linsanity "ask the filmmakers" footage that he was an older guy. And of course, he was saying something about Hakeem. Yeah, at a Linsanity premiere. Great stuff.

    I think most people have no issue with Lin being on the bench to be a facilitator. Its the inconsistent minutes that people b**** about.

    Its this whole idea that Bev is a consistent lockdown defender that I think just irritates people. Objectively speaking if the player he was replacing wasn't Lin I don't think he would get half the love he gets. He locks down the PG most of the time, true, but not as consistently as how some of you make it out to be.

    People just appear more blind to his flaws because of who he is replacing. Same thing happened with Toney Douglas. His def is good, but it ain't that good. He was being touted as DPOY by one of the ESPN pundits if I recall correctly. Really, DPOY?

    LOL @ the tmac comment, but seriously it's like you're getting worse with age. Usually it's the other way around.

    If you look closely, you can see Jones was almost gonna jump for the lob.

    THAT would have been NASTY.

    Morey will force his hand by trading Beverley. Morey takes care of business that way.

    Also - why on earth would we trade with Spurs?

    The weakness of the bench is the Center position, especially with the Asik debacle. Howard should start from the bench.

    We lose a guy who can run the offense and give us more points and assists- which results in others getting more involved. There is a big drop off from. Lin to Bev. You saw it tonight. Lin's second game back and he played a great game start to finish. And what we gain from Lin starting over Bev could make up for starting Garcia over Parsons.

    I'm not for that but it's a stupid argument that you guys use to keep Lin on the bench.

    But he is more valuable helping our starters get better shots and giving us a more evenly balanced attack.

    This is the general trend, especially when a guy like Spiegel gets involved. He does the same thing on ISH.

    The fans of the many outweigh the fans of the few or the one.

    If clutch needs me in the warp drive room so we can defeat the K-Lin-gons
    Then let it be so number one !

    One flaw in the Lin-led bench theory is that Lin's effectiveness is negated by the inconsistent play of the supporting bench unit.

    Rockets played a great game....I'm betting they will get their next two games, followed by a tough OKC game. Thank god for the ignore list!
