    Agree. But if he is stuck behind the three point line like he has been for the majority of the season, I would prefer that he not shoot. Not his strength at all.

    Watching him trying to handle the ball is brutal.

    Hopefully he only does that when playing against his old team.

    He's playing. I don't know if I like it to be honest. Hopefully Sampson doesn't play him to many minutes. Curious to see if the injury affects Parsons shooting.

    Wow aren't you sensitive. There was nothing they said that made any claim that Lin is better than Harden or putting down Harden at all. Jeez :rolleyes:

    Against the Jazz I think its a good idea for him to focus on defense and defer to the rest of the team for offense unless he's sitting at the 3 point arc. I seem to remember Hayward killing us lately. That should never happen. But you're right that this could mess up his shot when he does shoot.

    Harden is also not immune to criticism if he's playing bad, just the same as all the players. However, people can agree or disagree.

    Loll, we're talking about a coach who played harden 44 minutes in a 30 point blow out win over nyk.. He simply cannot be trusted. Neither can old frankenstein mcfail.

    Yea I'd rather wait till Chandler's fully healed, it's a long season.

    @JasonCFriedman: Sampson confirms Chandler Parsons will start and Carlos Delfino will play tonight. Cole Aldrich available too.

    Also from CBS sports...

    Houston (7-8) last won five in a row at home Jan. 13-21, a run that was largely fueled by solid defense. The Rockets' latest streak has been all about offensive efficiency, as they're averaging 110.3 points and shooting 44.4 percent from 3-point range.

    "Our offense is getting better because we're moving the ball better," acting coach Kelvin Sampson told the team's official website. "We're having more pass-pass combinations where we're attacking the paint with the dribble, drawing two guys, hitting the open guy, then that guy is making the extra pass. That's why our shooting percentage is going up."
