    I just gotta believe that JHard and JLin need to run separate units. The Rockets could be unstoppable!

    Yeah it just sucks cause we played as good as we have all season and it still ended up with a loss. Spurs were playing lackadaisical tonight. If we were going to get one against them all season tonight was the night.

    What's missing is Harden's 4.1 TOs per game...but I'll take the 4.1 TOs with his 26 points. We'll win 152-134 ;)

    I really hope they can. Otherwise you have the same scenario as when Melo came back last year.

    The Spurs scored a lot of points but the Rockets really fought them and after all they are the frigging Spurs.

    Yes, when Harden does it, it is selfish iso ball. When Lin does the same thing it's high iq.

    Using Lin as a sg is killing Lin and the Rockets, but I doubt the coaches would change their plan.

    LOHs don't watch games. They watch box scores.

    A lot of good points being raised by the post game crew.

    Even Clyde said he wouldn've kept Lin in. They could've taken him out once the lead was even larger- i mean he may have looked gassed but that is what is looked like all during Linsanity.


    You just don't take him out when he is that hot....bad horrible substitution,

    Agreed on all points. But i'm gonna quibble a bit here. Lin defense Parker at times sure. But he shared that duty with TD so that Lin could cover Danny Green.

    That said, all your points are valid. good day sir.

    The Last play was iso ball that killed the win for the Rockets. IF they would have ran the high pick and roll maybe one of the guys above would have gotten another chance for pts.

    Yes. While harden is a competent passer, having him play as a pg can get ugly as well. There is no reason for harden not to get the same, or even better opportunities he gets now in the flow of the offense. The rockets need to push the ball, especially early in the possession and get their open looks from attacking (mainly because they lack a post game). They look much, much better doing this than when they just hand the ball off to James.

    People were singing a different tune when Mayo scored 40.

    It was all Harden then.

    Lin knocked down, what, 12 FTs in a row? That's quite impressive.

    They've been doing it every game, and will continue to do it, why will the coaches change?
