    anyone else watch the memphis-jazz game? it was SOOOOOOOO Boring. Love my rockets..they keep it exciting. This is a team the country will fall in love with the next 3 years...lots of humble, good-hearted players, no major primadonnas (that we know of), and a United Nations team to boot...lets become America's team! (so we can poke Dallas fans in the eye)

    Bev came in and squandered the scoring streak and momentum with two iso to and bricks in a row. Not bevs fault, he was just off the bench, worked hard on d to makeup but poor sub timing.

    First quarter when Asik and DWight got tangled up on the way back ot the bench after a timeout, Lin was jawing at Dwight~

    Game time 7:18 left in the 1st.

    Blake is a seasoned player, sometimes players get their chance to shine and take it. Blake is bringing it tonight and is really hustling. Like worrell said, i dont think i have ever seen him play this good

    We got this. We're leading with Lin and Parsons not even scoring much and Blake playing out of his mind. As long as we come out firing we should be fine.

    2 key coaching halftime adjustments:

    -Don't sit the hot hand until cool
    -Don't abruptly scream & clap, suddenly stand, or anything distracting shooters

    8 minutes is absolutely a normal substitution for an average NBA player, your superstar yeah that's probably too long. Especially considering it was only the first half, ever thought McHale is trying to save Lin's energy for later?

    Good grief, can't we stop this crap for one game? Bev came in for Lin and played well, the team was +9 for those 8 minutes. Just stop.

    I'm not a huge Dwight fan but I can't totally agree with this assessment. Asik has ZERO offensive game...I mean zero. It's dunk or nothing. One of the worst pair of hands I've seen in all of basketball. Can't set a pick to save his like. watch how many times he comes out on the 3 pt. line to set a pick and DOES nothing. He obviously can rebound but they are not aggressive,box out rebounds. They are more passive type rebounds. He often doesn't bring much energy.

    There needs to be a ban on mentioning McHale in game threads or something, we are treading the same ground every thread.

    Lin and Parsons have played the EXACT same minutes. Its obviously NOT a LIN thing. Or a McHale moronic thing.

    Delfino and Beverley helped OPEN UP a NICE lead on the Lakers. You let your decent 2 team go off on the Lakers BAD bench. You don't F--- with that.
