    I liked this, it showed that Harden can also give possessions to Lin and have both players attack too instead of defer. ******* it was fun to watch. MEOW MEOWM

    Totally agree, fantastic game even though Parsons was a little cold, and Asik seems contained by Tyson; Rockets still had 4 players over 13 points and 3 players nearing double digits. Though it may just be the Rockets's point spread altering because of their opponent.

    Glad to see this win and to see the Rockets continue to build chemistry!

    This game is a great example that Lin & Harden can work. These things take time when you have two guys that can facilitate, its less than 25 games way too early to stick a fork in these guys. Something about Lin and stage presence, the guy does have it.

    Agreed, Harden is such a great player. Lin has it in him, just give him time and trust to build up a good chemistry.

    Weren't the coaches talking about putting Harden on the left side, Lin on the right side, and then running plays for both of them to maximize their talents (high p/r, Isos on favorable match-ups, etc)...in theory, it should work since they both prefer the opposite sides of the court...not sure why the coaches won't develop this strategy.

    We all agree that Lin has to learn to play with Harden. But Harden has to also learn to play with Lin.

    I still saw one too many Harden ISO balls tonight and Harden still needs to work on his turnovers. So many of those turnovers lead to fast breaks.

    Felton said before the game that Lin deserved a standing ovation from MSG.

    That was a very classy thing to say, and Felton's never talked crap about Lin. There's no reason to hate on the guy.

    Lin does play better under pressure. They way the Rockets came out tonight, fast and hard, is the way they should start every game. Was an exciting match to watch. I realize the Toyota Center is a pretty damn dry place to watch games lol. Not much of a crowd to hype the players up. MSG is nuts, can really feed off the energy of the crowd to win games.

    Harden had one turnover tonight. You're clearly an idiot with an axe to grind.
