Lin + Harden + Bev = 24 assists... That's a big part of our big's points - not that they don't create themselves, but our front court definitely feeds them well. To be fair, Parsons get a lot of those looks too.
I think so. But maybe they wanted to test out TJones, to see how well he fares and if he is usable in the playoffs. And he did dominated in the D-League.
Oh good! Looks like Jeremy is out of his sucky stretch for good. His best game yet from the last 3. I can once again wear my LOF badge with pride. Chandler GODsons with yet again another MVP performance, keep eating that poisonous Mexican food! TJones just pushed DMo out of the rotation with those 8 OFF Rebs and crazy athleticism James had a rough game, something still isn't right. He never used to be this off on his 3s and was a bull at getting to the rim. Im convinced he is simply exhausted at this point. It is his first year as a started after all.
i was looking at nba.com earlier and fan night had lakers winning the votes by over 12%.. but after i looked just now rockets have the commanding lead in the voting... i cant believe they are beating out the lakers.. i guess the bandwagon fans are hopping on!
That's why it's called a teamsport. If our bigs didn't set good screens then our guards might not even get their points.
If we can secure a playoff spot with 3-4 games to go, I hope that McHale would rest him. I do think that Anderson should get more minutes right now and give Harden some rest.
Oops, I meant all four of them. I don't think McHale will use those DMo or TRob much, but maybe just to slide them in for a few minutes here and there if necessary. If anything, I think they should be used to suck up some fouls for Smith. Otherwise, Smith will foul himself to the bench too much.
I think it's the 3rd game in a row that Smith has our first basket. We are 3-0 when Smith makes our first basket.
I had a hunch TJones had the most potential out of our current PFs. He just knows how to play basketball. I really hope he can be our reliable backup PF and maybe even starter? :O
Happens when the team is playing well, you have a superstar (in terms of appeal in Lin), and a superstar (in terms of basketball in Harden).
You guys should cut Harden some slack as this was his first game back. However his lack of defense has been a reoccurring theme all season. Guys have consistently scored above their season average whenever being guarded by him. Tonight Tyreke Evans was going by him at will. He better step it up come playoff time or it's going to get ugly for the Rockets.

Jones just needs a chance. I think if you look back to his last game against the Lakers he was pretty good. The extra work in the D league has given him more confidence and I think he can be a very good combo forward.
Agreed. Very sloppy on the defensive end buy did his share of damage in rebounds, assists, and points.
I didin't know how well kings've been playing sinse the all star break. They are in top 5 in Offense sinse then.
