    No way McHale should keep Canaan out of rotation even when Bev comes back. Lin is soo bad right now he needs to be 3rd string.

    No. Absolutely not. Playing backup to Harden? Christ a six foot rookie shooting guard??? Are you nuts?

    And knowledge and understanding are beyond your grasp. Just saying. Your emotion based opinion does not match reality. Attempt to understand the NBA game and try to do a fact based post. It might do you good.

    Recasner could hit the 3 ball and Brent Price was injured the entire time so that doesn't count. Lin doesn't do ANYTHING well. He used to be ok driving to the hoop but now he doesn't have that.

    I agree with those that say Dana Barros Jr. should cut into Lin's minutes in the playoffs....w/Bev back.

    You can't expect a decent people on a forum to make fact based posts on an online forum. (Hell even make fact-based arguments in real life)

    Dude, really???

    I agree with your take, but the personal attacks are a bit much.

    You're a better poster than that.

    Sick and tired of the blind fans of Lin. Just because he is your same ethnicity does not mean he does not deserve criticism.

    You have to love how many CF posters think they are more knowledgeable and intelligent than Morey and McHale combined. It blisters my mind even thinking about it.

    Was it a personal attack or just an opinion about the whole Lin sucks movement. I think it was the latter. I apologize if it was personal. I did not consider it as such.

    He actually wasn't used correctly...not really given a legitimate chance.

    JVG had him playing off the ball. On those rare occasions when Spanoulis was out top, he looked good.

    And Vassilis was pissed about it...let people now it and became the much maligned "Greek Mac".

    Thought by many to be a whiny b****, Spanoulis had the talent, but after his experience here, stayed home/ made big $$$$..and played WELL.

    The Lin noise can be a bit much, I agree. It's better to ignore the obvious nonsense around here. It's a distinguishing trait among the quality posters to do so. And yes, despite what few may say, I definitely consider you among the upper tier.

    Thank you good sir. I typed a bunch more here, but decided that it just got in the way of the message. Best to you.

    Eh, we play small ball all the time with 2 point guards out there. It's nothing new. Plus, not many great shooting guards in the west to guard, let alone any with much height.
