He was it was 2nd quarter Houston couldn't score a bucket they made one shot in like 8 minutes... Lin's second of the game but during all of that it was ugly bball Lin had 3 tos giving Boston 6 points, they tied and then passed Houston before the half.
Toney came in and Houston went on a huge run... why the hell would you punish Toney?
Thats the thing about McHale he always plays the hot hand no matter the name/contract... Asik sat a lot too in favor of Smith.
I didn't deny anything. Tony Douglas was +3 for the game, and that's with garbage time action. The huge run you mentioned at the end of the 2nd involved Lin's three straight assist to Smith. Toney Douglas came in and didn't do jack **** besides missing shots and played terrible defense. The rockets regained the lead off of Parson's hot shooting.
Tony Douglas was 1-6 going into the 4th. How was that a "hot hand"? It was what it was, a bizzare coaching decision.
It's ONE quarter. You don't base a player's skill level on a quarter. He has been shooting about a little over 45% the past couple games when his minutes went up.
