Jeremy Lin got benched tonight in OT

[UnderdogKnicks]

Maybe Lin was tired or felt some discomfort in his body? There really should be no explanation for subbing Toney in place of Lin.

I didn't watch the entire game, in fact I only watched six minutes of it to be honest, but speaking as a Lin fan he's a good defender, the problem is he looks like he slams into a wall every time he meets a pick no matter how soft it is. Lillard from what I've seen is great at running the pick and roll. Though Douglas is hardly better. Just my 2 cents.

[Woodsanity]

Its simple really. Toney Douglas is complete and utter garbage and should never be closing out games unless maybe he had a hot hand which he clearly did not. Rockets coaches are a joke. Peace.

Interm coach for Rockets needs to be fired from the staff.

Lillard dropped 27 on 50 percent shooting...that's all that matters lmao nobody was stopping him.

Lillard going off wasnt even the problem. Running the offense through Douglas in crunch time was. Harden cant do it by himself.

[M4P]

Douglas wasn't even on Lillard in OT... it was mainly Parsons. Lin got bench because Batum was going off on him whenever he had to switch or rotate, and also because he was gassed.

[Durant Durant]

Lillard abused both Lin and Douglas tonight. Lillard just abused Douglas slightly less.

another person that didnt watch the game. please dont say things like its facts when you didnt even watch the game. Lillard went off when they put douglas on him in OT and most of his points came off screens and switches. God I hate GB sometimes.

Lettuce be reality, I DID watch the game, and saw Lillard blow by Lin whenever he wanted. Douglas at least forced him to take jumpshots (which he drained anyway). Would you rather have someone like Lillard take a jumpshot or drive to the basket, finish and draw a foul?

Go away World's last Toney lover. Game u watched was in bizarro world.

LOL Batum had 1 basket in the 4th. The one time Lin switched to Batum he drew an offensive. WTF are you people pulling this out of your asses?

[sirdeadcat]

Some people are making **** up without watching the game.

[Wooderson]

Lillard just decided to go off in the 4th and OT no matter who was on him.

ClutchFans.net ‏@clutchfans
Fans buzzing about Rockets sitting Jeremy Lin the entire OT, but Damian Lillard scored 11pts on Lin in the final 4:05 of regulation.

I still would've rathered Lin in though, at least he would've been able to run the offense..

3 of those points were against Douglas with Lin on the bench. And anyway, the dropoff on offense far outweighs any damage Lilliard may have done against Lin on D (which would have been done against Douglas anyway).

This is the most annoying trait of Lin haters. Throwing poo all over the place hoping it will stick.

[yunaclf]

Lillard was hot, neither Lin nor Douglas was able to guard him. If the other team's PG is torching both of yours, you put in the one who's actually able to create some offense. Simple as that.

As a Blazer fan I can say Lin did a way better job than Douglas on him, plus Lin was having a nice all around game

Maybe it was something with his knee or some kind of little injury?

James Harden runs that team, the ball should be in his hands, Lin isn't good enough of a scorer or a ballhandler to even help Harden and Harden is too good to have the ball out his hands on that team because that roster looks weak as hell in the scorer/ballhandling department.

And wtf coach let got damn Toney Douglas even dribble

Secondary ballhandling can be useful when Harden gets triple-teamed, and besides everything Douglas can do offensively, Lin can do better. Made absolutely no sense, what Sampson was doing.

[Krodis]

Toney Douglas is a better shooter than Lin, but otherwise, yeah, pretty bad.

Harden is terrible as the primary playmaker and he is terrible in iso situations. He is the first option but should never be the primary playmaker and he should never iso as much as he has done recently because most of his isolations have led to bricks and TOs. Isolation plays are not Harden's strong suit thats why his efficiency is garbage in those situations.

LOL I'm guessing you missed all those games that Lin dominated in crunch time last year with the Knicks. You been living under a rock? Harden had like 3 TOs trying to force everything inside. Harden gets most of his shots on cuts nd jumpers in OKC, not iso. He has a hard time forcing it inside as seen in numerous occasions this season.

[seorang]

Lin looked totally gassed when he went to the bench, maybe he was running on empty?

Otherwise that's a TERRIBLE coaching decision by Sampson. Toney Douglas is literally Hot trash, you NEVER play him over one of your better players.Bush league move by Sampson
