    Food for thought.

    Great win, but seriously WTF?

    Our bench is weak? Maybe?

    Its a problem that we need to address regardless.
    Whether it comes from lineup changes, playing starters more, or hitting the free agency market.

    Lin is either injured or sucks, either way he needs to sit. As soon as Harden and Howard sit, we have nobody that can create a consistent quality look for himself or others.

    When will Isaiah Canaan get a shot to outplay Lin?

    It is not like this every night - just one and we won the game.

    Lin and DMo tried their best to make the Rockets lose.

    We will get butchered in the playoffs if we get nothing from our bench.

    We should, even though we won. The bench is a major, major liability and will come to haunt us in the playoffs.

    Harden and Howard should never both be off the floor.

    Because without them and Lin playing like garbage, we really have no go to offensive player. Most of our guys are off the ball players.

    Felt like McHale didn't even know what to do with the bench tonight. He needs to set up some pick n rolls with Lin-Dmo and Ham needs to keep attacking.

    Lin 15 mins 7pts
    Cole 23 mins 5pts

    Lin didn't play good, but at least didn't TO ball in second half, but of course let's blame Lin guess he should've got 15 in 15mins ?

    They scored 36 points two games ago.

    Sounds like an off night to me.

    it's sad when lin with 7 is almost more than the rest of the bench combined. it's not just Lin even though it certainly contains him.

    Hamilton didn't get many open looks like previous games, Lin struggled most of the game, Dmo and Asik are whatevers. The Heat bench can start for most teams in the East. 24 from Beasley tips the scale as well.
