Thare are 2 reasons. 1st: Lin deserved to be blamed, and punishment. That punishment will be benching. 2nd If we win without lin, i would say he shouldnt play at all from now on in the playoffs. Its not because he is a bad player,he just doesnt fit in our current system. (in my opinion, in game 4 lin was benched for most of 4th quarter And was subbed in within last than 1min left, he wasnt prepared physically and mentally) but if we lose, unfortunately. We will find out whats the real problem with this team, and fix it for next season. not just blaming a bench player and ingore other factors that we lose. Go rockets!!
Let me try... Totally agree with OP!!! Best statement ever!! Why didn't the coaches do it earlier, hell he should have splinters from riding the bench all season if we wanted to win 82-0. Ok. Can't stop laughing at the idiocy of the first post. 1) For the conspiracy theorists, there's no way Lin doesn't play, McHale needs a scape goat. 2) For the LOH's, there's no way he won't play, no punching bag, no fun. We need Rin. 3) For the LOF's, there's no way he won't play. Who else would save Houston Basketball. There you go. All 3 reasons for Lin to play versus your measly 2. Stats say 3 > 2.
Third post, aye? I suspect it's a regular too frightened to use his/her regular account. I betcha if one can have a look at the IP addresses on the website access logs, one can work out who Mr. Third Poster is.
If it was a regular he wouldn't have likely misspelled his first word when creating a thread description.
