    When a team is leading the NBA in scoring, it's very hard to question what they do or don't do offensively.

    I think its crazy how the Rockets give up so many buckets, usually get behind in the 1st by a sizable margin (10+ pts) but still play cool and in no time, they take over the game. No lead is safe if you are the opposing teams. I can't remember an Adelman team that played such an up tempo Offense where I thought we could overcome any deficit (except that game where TMAC scored 13 in 30 secs or whatever). this team is incredible and so young!!!!! I LOVE IT.

    Who says we need a trade or another star? I know I know..star PF and we are contenders..i'm just lovin' this team though. I WOULD LOVE IT if someone from the Rockets could become that second star

    I think Lin took some senzu beans before the second half.

    We've become a 4th quarter team thanks to James Harden and occasionally Lin and Delfino.

    I'm continually surprised by this team.

    Great team win today. Those 3's by delfino were so timely. And Harden was just being harden. Lin was poor in the first half, but came back strong in the 2nd (is this a pattern developing?). Douglas had great input with energy off the bench.

    They seem to start the 1st half poor, but this team finishes strong. Bright future for this young team!

    why didn't Lin get credited for his block on Nash's jumpshot?

    Coach and the team deserves so much more credit than they get from the league and nba fans in general. Houston always an underdog story

    It's so funny how TD was the LAST man on the Knicks bench last year. He started the year as their starting PG, then lost the job to Shumpert. Then Carmelo started playing point forward, than maybe even Mike Bibby, and then when all was lost, they turned to Lin in desperation. TD had long lost the job by the time Lin arrived against the Nets. But when the playoffs came, and Lin was out, and Baron Davis was out, they STILL didn't want to turn to TD. Bibby's corpse came in before TD. Glad to see TD has been given a chance again. He has made the most of it. (Although I still think he is just a short shooting-guard and not a very good PG.)
