    Number of Rockets fans who dislike Asik when he's on the court? Zero.

    "Your minutes shall be mine, Jones".. He also looks like he just got up from a long nap and had to do some chores

    Asik will be a difference maker. No drop in D when Howard rest.

    He looks pretty good for someone who's been out so long

    He really opens up the guard play when he's in there instead of Howard; just walking around screening and plays great P&R defense

    welcome back big guy

    One thing that is Omer is unarguably better than Dwight is at, setting screens. Dwight gets down on the block and either tries to post up or just lounges around.
    Omer is always active, setting screens, running to the perimeter to help pass the ball around.

    Lin needs to stop with the pull up 3 shot at the arc early in the play. In fact the entire damn team needs to stop doing that. Work for a better shot. Beverly has gotten 2 of his 3pters from the corner. Everyone learn from that.

    5 boards and a couple of assists in limited minutes. He would be just what the doctor ordered for this team.

    His stats were solid, but he looked a little rusty to me. He'll need a couple more games at least to get into playing shape. Good to see him on court again though.

    As every one else is saying, happys he's back, played well tonight and think he can really help if we keep him.

    I noticed his presense on the floor tonight, he really stood out with his rebounding, picks and defense. He remined me of who he is and what he can do for us on the court, all while he had limited mins and looked absolutely exuahsted too.

    There were multiple plays where i felt he could of easily blocked shots and grabed more boards if ge was in game shape. Can't wait for him to get back his mins and in game shape.

    Really hope he can adjust to his role, him at a 100% playing 20 mins a night behind Howard would be really nice.

    He was laughing during warmup shoot around. He also looked happy when Mchale took him out because he was totally spent after 10 minutes of running
