    Is it a safe assumption to say that we're going to probably lead the league in TO's, and if we haven't, name the team that's ahead of us because I need to find out what they're smoking.

    It's ok man. Haven't you heard the more turnovers Lin has the more chance we have to win? He has magical winning turnover powers that other players do not possess.

    Utah announcers questioning the Asik/Howard combo lineup; saying how bad our defense looks with this lineup. LOL. Just wait till 48 minutes have been played bozos.

    I cannot wait for this stupid Asik/Howard experiment to end. Both defensively and offensively it is a disaster.

    The twin towers combo isn't looking great. Might be time to take out Asik.

    twin towers does not work, or mchale cannot execute it properly. either way, 1 center at a time.

    Slow start off the back to back.

    More worried about the spacing from TT right now. Feeling like Asik and Howard still have a lot to work out and it's impacting the entire offense.

    Anyone else notice that Lin defense is starting to be heavily similar to what Beverly does? When Beverly was playing on preseason I notice his offense similar to Jlin too.

    Not exactly the start you'd expect from the Rockets -- halfway through the first quarter and Harden has taken one shot and the Rockets have just two rebounds.

    It's not working well, because both of them are not good offensive players. Defense is repetitive.

    Right, because the Jazz get one offensive rebound after another we need to get one of the two best rebounders of the league out...

    If Kanter or Favors can kill us from the outside, let them do so. But this is a team against whom the twin towers really can work and this game is great to build some chemistry for that.

    I'm not worried about the rebounds just yet. Sometimes the ball just bounces out to where you aren't and your opponent is. I posit that the law of averages will see us with the superior rebounding numbers by the game's end.

    opponents are out scoring us by about 20 points with twin towers in.

    Thank you very much. His drive and kick TO's seem to be very high.
