    WB was 8-20, not exactly shredding from a superstar. Lin did everything better than westbrook last night except rebound and get to the line.

    I don't really know, but you won't get too far off if you check Kobe's 81 point game for NBA record.

    Yeah you're right - we've got a superstar SG but only a "role player" for a PG whose never put up big numbers before.

    Lin has to be more consistent to make the argument.

    No - McHale does. Lin IS consistent. If you don't believe me check his Feb. stats.

    Lin's 3 stroke hasn't been consistent prior to the last month.

    It's been getting better every month. Again check the stats. Right now Jeremy is (gasp) a good shooter. What I mean by McHale being consistent is that he alternates having Lin run the offense and stand in the corner. During our losing streak Harden and TD were mostly running the offense. The last 11 games it has been Lin and his stats show it. So does the Rockets record. These are the FACTS.

    I would take ours. Harden is younger than CP3 & stays healthier too. Also Harden has had a lot more post season success. CP3 is the best PG in the NBA but we are in the age of PG's. Talented SG's like Harden aren't as available.

    This is a throwback. Love it.

    Kobe-Nash tandem is not that good, unless you're going purely by reputation.

    Btw, does Houston have a no-headband rule? How come Harden doesn't have a headband anymore?

    Probably not fair to compare Harden and Lin. Harden is a max contract player while Lin is not. Therefore, expectations about Harden's performance is much higher. Harden is expected to be consistent every night. Lin, like Asik and other players, will have and have had, off nights. Everyone on the team needs to be aggressive and attack!

    Lol... Really... Lin has been hot for the month of February but so has Harden and more so...

    And the Rockets have had the highest scoring starting backcourt from day one... it's just up to Lin at this point to stay consistent.

    That is Jamal's birth date. He will be 33 next month.

    I agree with you for now, but next season...
