    bear in mind though, his Ts% is higher than harden's, and is drawing fouls at the higher rate. that's not something you can easily replace.
    a lot of his inconsistency is on the coaching staff, but i still think he needs to be a lot more assertive.


    props to tjones, he's been playing really well

    Nice observation.

    It maybe some system tweaking we are seeing. The system that we are running since the start of the season has seen its ups and downs. I hope this becomes a new trend.

    Now, I just want McHale to manage the minutes of our players properly once we become completely healthy and not stay with his 8-9 man rotations.

    Harden is clearly on a another level and he is not even playing up to his potential (which is amazing if you really think about) and trust me I am not at all enamored with the coaching staff but let not try to use them as scapegoats.

    Jeremy has been inconsistent, the defense and effort I saw from him today, you don't see everyday. Once that becomes a permanent part of his game and he has way more good games that bad, he'll be an all-star. I see so much potential in him, but he has to be more aggressive, stay solid on defense and lower his turnover rate.

    Great game overall by the entire team. Harden had a bit of an off night but it didn't matter since Howard picked up the slack and Lin was good too with limited turnovers compared to assists.

    Which is what we would like to see more off, when one star is off the other picks it up.

    Yup I think this has a lot to do with it. With Sampson out Finch probably plays a bigger role and I believe Finch emphasizes PG play more.

    great seeing Lin get confidence to decide to make plays, he just needs to keep his confidence up every game and the Rockets will be a force

    Tyreke has a high ankle sprain and is listed day-to-day. Didn't play against Mavs or in tonight's loss to the Spurs. Don't know whether he will play against the Rockets.

    The internet rumor is Bev is Sampson's guy, he is the one that pushed Bev to start over Lin, since he is on leave right now, Finch asked Mchale to let Lin runs the show.

    The bottom line is if Lin keep play like this, Sampson is gonna have hard time to get Bev back in the starting lineup.

    Didn't that kinda happen with Tony Douglas last year?

    It takes more than a few games to pump up his trade value.

    :grin:

    I heard that Stephanie preferred Pat but Triple H got Vince to put Jeremy over.

    Sounds completely made up. Bev is hurt, thus Lin starts. That simple.

    And as I remember it, Finch is the offensive guy...Sampson is mostly focused on defense.

    Bev's out so wouldn't Lin be running the show whether Sampson was there or not?

    The role changed, Lin was played like a SG until the last 2 games.
