    Hey all. My first post. After watching all Rockets games this season, a few observations:

    1. Lin MUST be the ball handler. Then Harden is crazy efficient(with less
    TOs). The offense flows smoothly and Parsons, Morris, Asik and others
    seem to get more involved.

    2. Either Harden or Lin MUST be on the court at ALL times.

    3. When Lin is out, Harden MUST be the ball handler and facilitate the
    offense. NOT Toney Douglas.

    They are simply playing awesome! Far surpassing my expectations!

    One of the few times I have got to see them play (locked out by Les) and I was very much impressed. Clearly a case of the Rockets "showing up" and the Bulls taking the day off. But besides that, some really great teamwork by the Rockets; running and gunning. Linn and Harden appear to be clicking and Parsons and Asik are beasting too. It is exciting to watch a team play hard, with intensity (hint, hint). Good things happen.

    Thibideau teams do not take nights off... Not on defense anyway. I think the rockets are THAT good right now, clicking on all cylinders. It's not just the 4 straight wins, it's the sheer domination of these 4 games that is so surprising.

    The Xmas unis didn't look as bad worn as I thought they would judging from just the pics.

    Thibs coached the Rockets defensive teams that got torched by the Suns. I think his philosophy is solid against half-court sets but can be exploited by the run-n-shoot transition offense (as demonstrated today).

    Against top defensive teams too! 4 game winning streak, 6 of their last 7. I truly believe their loss to the Raptors was due to jet lag.

    Rockets mentioned on ESPN for 30 seconds.

    Some random white guy changes the subject and says I also learned I can do 14 hours(of television) in one night.The Rockets don't deserve your backhanded compliments BSPN.

    So during the half time show for the clippers game the rockets were mentioned for a bit. Barkley was impressed by the way we have played and called us the "xfactor" for the rest of the season, but of course the rest of the crew changed the subject right after

    (My apology in advance if this has been asked and answered...)

    The color commentator mentioned that we have the 2nd highest scoring backcourt in the league. Who's the first?

    Guy needs to get his eyes checked, Lin looked like a blur on the screen with that drive.
