    We need to thank Delfino, Douglas, Smith on this one... most importantly thanks Howard

    Rule says you can't foul away from the ball under 2:00 mark.

    Why do the Rockets coaches not want him to succeed?

    It's classic McHale-style coaching. Some coaches give rotation minutes to their guys regardless, others see that if a bench player is playing well, they might want to ride him a little longer than usual.

    Note that while this can win basketball games, it also tends to piss off the Kyle Lowry's of the world. The Aaron Brooks' of the world.

    Wow. Worst 1st Half of the Year followed by an amazing comeback. I'll admit, did not think they had it in them tonight. But the bench showed the starters how its done.

    Game ball to the trio of Smith-Delfino-Douglas.

    They should not. FT shooting is a big part of basketball fundamental.

    I'm here because of Lin, but better the team win with hot players and Lin on the bench.

    Morris and Smith set the best screens on the Rox team. If you notice, the bench shooters were a lot more open than the starters.
