Exactly. Took game #23 to figure out TD sucked the life out of the team but at least they figured it out!

Exactly.

When was the last time our bench held, or extended, a lead?

You make a great point. Just elated to see Lin play with the big kids. Once he settles down, hopefully he will get used to the bumps and physical play. JVG commented on his deceptive quickness and I'm with that.

well lets be fair qe were up 24 18 when he first came in and then lost that lead. He is playing pk now but just calm down a little lol

They HELD the lead.

jvg is laying it on thick...but...

i think, until you see us with a consistent pg you can't too harshly judge or praise our team...

is davis that answer?

he has to be...

this year, at least.

Yea that's what I was hoping for. We need a real PG and a backup PG so why can't Lin earn the job? He's clearly still playing a bit slow and tentative but the more he plays the better he'll get.

i hope and pray that lin is good! he's clearly earned his minutes through working hard in practice and that's why he's in the game so early tonight. i think what everyone needs to realize though is that as a coach, d'antoni couldn;t just yank douglas out of the rotation after a bad 10-15game stretch which is exactly what it's been. if he does that, that's when he starts to lose the team. douglas got every opportunity to snap out of his funk and he hasn't. now is where guys who have been working hard in practice, get their hard work rewarded.
