The Rocket's defense is a gift to every scrub player in the league. Only the Rockets can give out so many career nights. I like the offensive effort. T. Jones can just blow your mind at times. How good is he going to be? Parsons is struggling, DMo can't hit the side of a barn, but Cannon is still firing threes and Harden is a bit off, but still the difference maker. Did Lin play? I really am embarrassed for the team's lack of defensive effort. Got to pick it up. These guys have only won 25 games all year. They shouldn't be pushing you to the wall.
Shaq still hating Howard. "One of the best post up players on the team". "No one else can make that move on this team". "He is working with Hakeem!"
Harden 15 points(4-7), 8 assists, 0 turnovers Jones 23 points (9-12), 4 rebounds, 0 turnovers Parsons 11 points (5-10), 4 assists, 0 turnovers It's pretty cool to see Jones having so much success after spending all last year in the d-league.
- The Lakers are capable of beating decent teams by scoring in bunches. Their defense isn't good but these guys can score vs. Rockets and other teams. - The Rockets should be fine if they tighten up the defense some (likely involving playing Omer a lot of minutes) and have somebody other than Canaan make some 3s. They are shooting over 50% overall but only Canaan is firing beyond the arc.
