    Rox got lucky. That was a fluke win against a horrible team. Seriously, Rockets have a lot of issues that need to be addressed or we are at best a 7th seed.

    Lin was an absolute disaster on defense and was deservedly benched.

    Problem is that after a quick start on d - Brooks showed why he really isn't an NbA player anymore. Thanks for making the FTs but God he sucked hard in the 4th.

    We need Bev. Or Toney Douglas

    Both Harden and Parsons played 44 minutes!!!!!

    By this rate, they'll be tired as fuq by playoff comes.

    Brooks with a big rebound and two free throws on the foul.

    Lucky to get the win, period.

    Letting your backup pg play the whole 4th was dumb.

    As per usual a Rockets win turns the thread into a 'Lin is a victim' attention seeking, childish b.s.

    How many Dwight Howard fans reacted this way the 2 times we won with him on the bench? I'd say most were just happy we won.

    Get over yourselves. Since you love Lin so much why don't you adapt his selfless attitude. I doubt he is upset and beat up we won.

    Lin really wasn't playing too bad though. He was better than Brooks. McHale is just stupid.

    wrong. he was getting picked while dwight just stood there guarding the paint. start of the fourth, we made our comeback. why? greg smith. he hedges on pnr. jones? hedges on pnr. dwight? stays in the paint to block and get rebounds while our guards get picked to death. sure lin aint good guarding pnr, but 2 on 1 is too much to ask for anyone...

    Some of you guys need to take off your glasses. Brooks was the only one throwing passes and getting Dwight the ball. That was the turning point. He then hit the 3 to bring us within 2.

    What worries me is Howard's attitude this game... Something is deff wrong.

    Pelicans and Memphis last week, if we lost this one sky would be falling.

    Well, the Twitter-verse has spoken, and I guess I have it wrong here. Maybe I'm overestimating the likelihood of him hitting that shot. Also need to factor in that if the game goes into OT that favors the home team.

    Ahh a rational view on the game not centered around Lin.

    Every time a time-out is called I shudder because it usually results in 2 or 3 unanswered buckets for the other team.

    Forget the LOF, they almost cost themselves the game. Fortunately AB didnt get called for poking Chandler in the face and the knicks self destructed. McHale god given a freebie!

    I was actually more impressed by the Knicks effort tonight. It's more sad how the Rockets were shooting 85% ft, shot better fg, better 3pt yet barely won the game against a Knicks team that played the night before.
