    Luckily, the next two weeks aren't killer.

    Spurs were always going to be tough even with Harden and Lin. Lin does love to play the spurs though.

    You've got some easier matchups and three consecutive days off in the second week, but you've also got at San Antonio, Golden State, at Portland and at Golden State during that stretch.

    I think this is a good test for the Rockets. Lin came out of the gate playing well offensively this year, but I think Aaron can fill the type of role he played off the bench. Lin is a better facilitator, but I like AB as the shooter.

    But so will penetration and free throws.

    It's time to feed the beast. HOWARD. He needs to take the weight of the offense on his shoulders, and create open looks for teammates.

    Beverley, Brooks, Jones, will need to step up bigtime.

    DMo and Brewer should be able to crack the roation, and will need to produce.

    Terrible news. At least it isn't worse.

    Still a bad time to lose him with some tough games coming up.

    With Brooks playing well, this won't be so bad. I am just glad our PG rotation is deep.

    He might not even be a Rocket by the time he gets back.

    Meh... I'm not worried. AB and TJones will bring us to the promised land!

    Besides, this is an opportunity for us to see just how deep this team really is.

    Just get some rest, Harden & Lin.

    The dream of the delusional Lin fan. My guess is those dreams won't be coming true. He's a valuable piece to our team and I just don't think the caliber player we are looking for in a trade is available yet.

    Not good. Some of our toughest games of the season so far (SAS/GSW twice) are coming up quicky.

    Versatile scoring guards are expendable?
