    Yes indeed, and once Casspi is back it will be even better. Glad to see Jones getting some good minutes tonight too.

    You can always stagger Lin's and Harden's minutes on the court ;)
    And Harden is less than 15 minutes on the bench so it shouldn't be a problem.

    I really like Bevs defensive hustle & skills & I like him to play many minutes with a Lin/Harden/Beverly rotation.

    Yeah and he was an absolute d*ck like usual. My stepdad was so pissed he turned off his ballstreams link and watched on some crappy one with the Houston broadcast.

    McHale never said anything which lead the media to ASSUME that Beverley beat out Lin for the starting role. Only after the 1st game did McHale admit in an interview that he thought it would be a better fit to have Bev starting but that's more of a footnote.

    As far as the non-Rockets fans and general media, Lin was outplayed and therefore benched.

    Sympathy for the Jazz should be a bannable offense.

    I don't seem to understand why we always have a second game of a back to back in Utah every year?

    A question for those of you outside the Houston area watching LP. Has the Houston feed been on LP yet for the regular season? I'm getting tired of the Mavs & Jazz announcers etc.

    To me, the game ball goes to CP. I was a little concerned with him in the last two games. I am so glad that I was wrong. We need everybody play well to have a big season.

    That was an unbelievable win. I thought the Rox were in trouble with the way things go in the 1st Half. I was mad. Nothing seems to go right for the Rockets. I guess they talk about it at Half and came back with a different game plan and play more aggressive D and attack more...and then everyone seems to step up their game and play well. Lin and Garcia and Harden and Parson. I think McHale should have used Dmo instead of Jones. His length could have bother Favors. Also i didn't realize Casspi was out...what happened to him.

    I know he didnt do anything bad and neither did lin. If you watch the nfl neither did alex smith for the 49ers last year.. All he did was get hurt and he lost his job ..

    what happened to Caspi? Explains why our offense was so off for a bit.
