Because it was a prime time game on national TV. Advertisers paid extra money for ads. This was an exhibition.
Thank you for correcting my typo. If you really understand, then what is the problem for people saying they have issue with not starting lin, when they paid their one month income to see the show. It is not about how many minutes Lin played. I guess you must know the big difference between "starting five tiger" and "bench bandit".
again as I have said I dont have a problem with people having issue that lin did not start... I perfectly understand how they feel... as I was a bit disappointed myself... I was just trying to correct some misconceptions that a lot filipinos where outraged! pissed! that lin did not start. filipinos were not pissed at all. some might be disappointed but most of them are ok with it... most of them where just happy to finally have watched an NBA game live... that is at least the vibe I got from all my friends/relatives/media in the philippines
There is no clutch play in the pre season, just look at the new orleans game, the score getting close didn't get any movement from the bench.

Never been to Taiwan or Shrimp Fishing in an indoor pool. But it is very popular in the night market.
Dwight looks short next to DMo and Camby <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/eJOYtebuJAI?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
"so i said to jeremy... ching chong ching chong ni ho ho you coming off the bench ah... and we had a good laugh. right jeremy?" "errr.. yeah that was funny, you crippled b*stard"..
Dwight is pretty short considering how big he plays. Everyone assumed that he would grow after joining the NBA since he was only 17 when he was drafted. But he didn't grow taller like Lebron and McGrady did. However, he has really long arms and very quick explosive hops so he plays like a seven footer. That is why Dwight likes working out with Dream. He was another small center that played big.
LIAR! Taiwanese don't graduate from arkansas; it's ivy league or UC's only. wow taiwanese in arkansas - what's that like? do people come up and poke you? do they ask if you know kung fu?
