    If I managed team Taipei I would take Harden over Lin.

    With James Harden out and the new rotation up front, Houston's starting 5 tonight had 0 lotto picks. In fact, outside of the 2 minutes 33 seconds played by Thomas Robinson, Houston did not have a single player drafted before 20th playing a single minute.

    HOU players getting minutes were:

    Lin (Undrafted)
    Anderson (20th)
    Parsons (38th)
    Smith (Undrafted)
    Asik (36th)

    Garcia (23rd)
    Delfino (25th)
    Beverley (42nd)
    Motiejunas (21st)
    Ohlbrecht (Undrafted)
    Brooks (26th)
    Robinson (5th)

    The Clippers rotation, on the other hand, had Griffin (1st), Paul (4th), Butler (10th), GHill (3rd), Odom (4th) getting minutes.

    Nice tidbit there. They should highlight stuff like that on the telecast (maybe they do, I don't know).

    I love this win and we needed this win but I hope people don't get this false sense of security that we beat a team playing their 4th game in 5 nights. I like what we did out there though and hope we can incorporate some of the things we did. I did like Smith starting but that does leave us with limits on the 5. I'd like to see how they can figure it out and make it work.

    Awesome! The Rockets played TEAM BASKETBALL, which is stronger than any individual player!

    how is it possible NBATV completely skipped the Rockets/Clippers highlight in the first hour after having a bumper before they went to break telling the audience there will be highlights?

    That only makes sense when they have the better record. But yes that is also why I love this team.

    Good win. I'm just aftaid that the only lesson McHale learned is that Bev deserves more minutes and that Lin made too many turnovers tonight... Sigh~
