I am the biggest Lin fan of all. I grew up 10 minutes from him and followed him through GS and through Linsanity. I watched every Rockets game by streaming online from here in Connecticut. I saw the 6th man thread and this is a follow up to that. This is how I think the rotation should be played for a regular season line-up non-small-ball. 1st Quarter 12:00 Bev Harden Parsons TJones/Dmo Howard 1st Quarter 8:00 Lin Harden Parsons TJones/Dmo Howard 1st Quarter 3:00 Lin Garcia TJones Smith Asik 2nd Quarter 10:00 Lin Garcia/Harden Parsons Smith Asik 2nd Quarter 7:00 Lin Harden Parsons Smith Asik 2nd Quarter 4:00 Bev Harden Parsons/Garcia TJones/Dmo Howard Then the same rotation will be used in the 3rd quarter. Bev will start the 4th quarter but the 4th quarter subs will at... 4th Quarter 12:00 Bev Garcia Tjones Smith/Dmo Howard 4th Quarter 7:00 Lin Harden Parsons TJones/Dmo Howard/Asik This gives Beverley 19 mins of PT and Lin about 31 mins. We've all seen how clutch Lin is and he needs to finish games. This sub/rotation would provide him ample opportunity to handle the rock and make plays for others and allow him lots of court time running pick n rolls with Howard. Asik may finish some games due to his clutch FT shooting in the playoffs. Let me know what you guys think.
