    Nice win back to .500. I hope the bench comes through tomorrow in OKC since the starters played lots of minutes. KS needs to give the bench more pt tomorrow so the staters can close out the game tomorrow.

    I actually enjoyed watching LP with these annoucers. Actually some of the top ones I have heard this season. Praised the Rockets and the city of Houston the whole game.

    He got to the line 7 times tonight and went at the basket strong. Thats already big time improved that helped his scoring efficiency. Already making solid progress.

    I think the team wanted to put the effort in tonight and get the W, knowing there is a very low change of getting a win at OKC.

    Look, the sub pattern is the way it is because our bench is ****. Straight up ****. We were spoiled the last few years with a solid bench. That's not the case this year. Unless some of the rookies can make a big impact and we get an actual backup pg and sg, this is how its going to be.

    Other than his shooting Lowry really wasn't bad at all. Only got 27 minutes and still managed 7, 8, 5. Lin for sure got the best of him tonight and I really hope he keeps it up. That is the player I was hoping we would get when we signed him. Just gotta keep it consistent.

    Hopefully Sampson will play him in crunch time in the future

    Tomorrow starters will have stone feets, will be a blowout by OKC, book it...
    And say thanks to Sampson :)

    And Lowry suck in Toronto, look at his stats. Only firs few games he looked good. That was great move by the Rockets to "make" him into Harden

    After months of having to hear LOH talk up Lowry over and over again, I was expecting Magic Johnson tonight.... I was hoping Lin wouldn't embarrass himself tonight.

    Umm... yeah.... right.

    Great game by Jeremy Lin tonight. I want this guy to show up consistently.

    More impressed by Harden and Parsons day by day.

    Overall solid win tonight.

    Getting a OKC win tomorrow might be a lot to ask because the Rockets will be at Minny tomorrow and finish at OKC. If they have the energy to win the OKC game, it would be one of the most impressive of the season.

    Lin is the Asian Steve Francis meaning they are inconsistent like a mutha*****er... One minute he looks like Steve Nash and other times he looks more like Steve Blake in an iron casket...

    Please no ... and please stop.

    Lowry had a bad game, but overall this season he's done better than Lin easily and he's a much more polished player right now.

    nice win..

    double double for the rocket back court players.. that is sick, i don't care who you are playing.. Harden with 24/12 and lin 16/10, and seems to have his legs back.. nice dunk lin..

    asik just a steady double double machine..

    would like to see the rockets expand the rotation.. but I love the way this team plays ball .. player movement and nice passing...

    7-7

    22 assists from our backcourt is unreal , some teams can't even get that kind of number the whole game

    Interesting comment by Sampson.

    Makes me wonder if there was some closure issues involved... no way of knowing. It doesn't really matter.

    16 points (7/9), 10 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals, 3 TO's speaks for itself.
