    Swing and a miss!

    Austin Rivers had 8 points. Total. Harden's "new low" included leading the team in the 4th quarter to a win.

    Stop posting.

    Not going to happen, but really wish McHale will limit Harden and Parsons minutes tomorrow. 20 minutes each. ~5 per quarter. They're getting run to the ground at this rate.

    I don't even care if we lose.

    Meant offensively, because Lin played hard D during first 3 quarters.

    Serious question... how much better is Anthony Davis then Terrance Jones? When they played together at Kentucky I always questioned that. I don't think the talent gap is that huge.

    really impressed with the progression of Jones, like it happened overnight, next thing you know he is giving it hard and fast. (insert dwight look)

    using the eye exam, lin locked down his matchup all the way to siberia and was nails in the 4th. (reality, he was moping around through 3qtrs) gotta to demand the ball and be aggressive all the time. these are the teams you use to pat stats.

    Parsons, is there anything this guy can't do? he could probably wear black shoes with a brown belt and start a world wide trend. he is just so hot right now.

    MVP, definitely Howard. Keep riding him.

    I said several times that I don't understand why Mac plays them so much each game. You have to save them for the playoff and pace their PTs.

    Well Monte Williams always plays Lin tough. That guy always gives Lin fits. I still remmber the first Loss of Linsanity was at the hands of Monte Williams. His player always would be way too physical, bordering dirty if you ask me.

    3rd game in a row where Lin locked down his man. At least he's doing good on defense:p

    Jones is young, young players have hot stretches and cold ones. It's normal.

    Davis is a Shot Blocker extraordinaire. that is the difference. Plus Davis is a better rebounder with those long arms. He reminds me of a young Tim Duncan but with athleticism and less fundamentals

    One of the main purposes to bring on Casspi & Garcia was for them to help hit those 3s…just bad.

    Funny thing is when good 3 point shooters come to rockets something happens to them. the offense is perfect for a good 3 pt shooter, i wonder if lin's buddy novak is still able to play?

    I thought Lin was defending a guy taller than him. Evans perhaps

    I think Lin leash just got a helluva lot longer. These last three games have been impressive defensively and 4th quarter clutchwise.

    Parsons is such a glue guy and has the potential to become an All Star.

    He was yanked, he started the 4th next to AB so Harden could get some rest, and then got subbed out for Harden. It looked like AB was going to finish the game.

    But then AB got that technical, McHale immediately benched him and sent Lin back out to finish the game.
