    It happens to Lin 100 times, it happens to Parsons once.

    Yeah McLOH is fair.

    The truth is McHale always disliked Parsons, especially after the whole Ashley Sky debacle.

    McHale simply gave Parsons more minutes than he deserved, then benched him all of a sudden in order to truly humiliate him. After all, giving something then taking it away hurts more than never having it at all.

    Well played evil McHale. Well schemed.

    agreed. Casspi is very very bad at the game of basketball, it goes beyond the stat sheet too, he's just an uncoordinated mess out there wow

    Why is he a hater? Beverly is amazing in defense, Harden is simply Harden, and you can't even compare Lin to Parsons... The amount of time he's getting is what we all should expect when it's about Lin...

    Honestly, if this basketball gig doesn't work out for parsons, he could be on the bachelor, with a shocking finale of him giving the final rose to Lin

    It would happen to Parsons a lot more if he had a player the caliber of Lin off the bench. Delfino last year doesn't count because Delfino played so much PF for us. This year he has Garcia who has not played well nor even healthy much.

    There are very few teams in the NBA that goes small consistently. The Cavs happen to be one of them. This was one of the few games of the season where a Lin/Beverley/Harden lineup was feasible. If it were also feasible against other teams, the Rockets would use it more.

    Now Parsons has learned what you would get when taking shot at the star of the team!

    Parsons had no lift tonight. He missed the alley op. Hope he's not injured or something.

    It is CLEARLY to send a strong message on him speaking to ESPN on Harden.

    Did you notice Harden also came back immediately to prove a point?

    Chandler Parsons is actually one of the highest EQ rocket players, he is trying to stand out more to set himself up for a big contract. McFail probably had to send a strong message.

    fire mchale. parsons is the only rocket that should never see the bench. unless, he is injured and even then the camera should be on him, not the game.

    Schemes for Lin and Dmo? Gotta give McHale props for that. I hope it is not pick and pop with Dmo shooting 3s...

    Parson is on short leash?
    His head got too big following his record setting half with the 10 3's and "it's a joke I'm not on the U.S team"
    It's just shows how you could be the best player one day and to being benched for the 4th a few days later by McHale if you cant perform.
