When your Coach stresses that everyone should earn their keep, immediately inserting 38yr old out of work PG into the starting lineup goes against that principle. I don't have a problem with a temporary benching of Collison because his defense was horrendous, but 14 games is too small of a sample size to give him a demoted role. I do agree with LSMF that
if Collison does play well he still won't get the starting job back.
PS
This conversation might for naught if you look at the schedule--12 of next 14 games will be against teams with very good PG's (Paul, Dragic, Lin, Rondo, Lowry, Holiday, Westbrook, Conley, Lawson, and Parker).
