    Will TD start if Jeremy can't play? Or will McHale go with Beverly?

    Doubt that. They both have top notch handles. But if you watch Iverson prime, no one could guard that dude. In fact I"ll go as far as saying, no one in the history of the NBA can go 1v1 on prime Iverson.

    I haven't seen all the players, but I seen Iverson. And OMG prime Iverson was godly.

    Also, why can't I edit my own posts?

    Wanted to add...

    Why does Lin keep tweaking his ankle? This like the 3rd time I think. Actually I sorta want to see a full game without Lin in the line up. Has that happened yet?

    I kinda wish parallel universe does exist, where Harden do not come to rockets. Just see how Lin does running the team.

    If Iverson was a god, or godlike, in basketball, then Irving is a 20 year old demi-god who is still about 5-8 years away from his own prime.

    Just watch a replay of the San Antonio game when Harden was out.

    I have, I, like you, experienced it to the umph degree.

    But with that being said, this is a VERY different roster, a VERY different audience and fan base, and a VERY different coach.

    Look, you're right. Lin finds success when he is the primary and dominant ball handler and offense initiator, and this is a fact as the games in which he was that #1 option, the team has or has come close to defeating a giant, a goliath, such as the Spurs. That being said, let me ask you this question; do you think if Lin played like he did, the exact same way, against the Spurs with Harden playing then the Rockets would have won?

    I don't doubt that Linsanity is alive and kicking inside this current Lin which is merely a shell of true potential, but the the discussion is the separation of Lin and Harden; the unnecessary manufacturing of binaries, or dualities. The team, Lin and Harden, and particularly the coaches must find a way to maximize all the players to their fullest potential while teaching them to mold into a system, and the system to them. I think if the Rockets finally get this done, which I think would be next season after a full season to grow as individuals within a team, then the Rockets can go deep into the playoffs.

    Jeremy missed only one game during pre-season. But we don't have Harden yet.

    I think Jeremy and Asik so far have never missed a game yet. Finger crossed....

    Jury's still out but AI took a team of scrubs and has-beens to the finals...as good as Irving has been, lets remember that his team is in the cellar of a very-weak eastern conference...not saying it cant happen but i think people these days are too quick to anoint players based on stats at the expense of team success...im looking at you deron and melo...to me being the best guy on a bad team means youre just a big fish in a small pond
