    They got within 7 points. That did its part. They just didn't score enough. The Bayless beast mode kinda ended abruptly.

    When Lin shoots well, people complain his TO or consistency.

    This was one of the better games of the year by Lin. Ditto for Howard. It is nice knowing Harden can have a poor shooting game and the Rockets can still win.

    This team needs a Michael Jordan. If Only Harden was an elite defender and athlete, had baseball glove sized hands and hardly ever missed from midrange.

    I'm stoked about TJ. He scares me to death when he leads the break but he actually has decent handles as Bull mentioned tonight. He's putting up great effort in his minutes. And you're right, with the constant Lin-Harden fest and the hack a Howard sometimes other great contributions get lost. I thought Casspi played another nice game as well.

    Watched him during his Kentucky seasons, and he never really got to showcase his stuff with all that talent. I was glad the Rockets drafted him, and he just needs a little polish. Especially not biting on fakes and not colliding with Dwight on boards.

    Nah. Leaving him in there was the right thing to do. lets him get lots of practice shooting free throws :p

    kidding aside, why take out one of 2 of your best players? Harden was sucking balls with 6/18 or something like that and he's still in there. let the stars do their thing I say.

    Eh I did..:) Really like his rebounding and blocking abilities. Not first time he's done well in these two categories.

    Maybe I've ignored those folks but since the post game analysis started I haven't seen any complaints about Lin's game tonight. He played great and he's getting praised for it. Especially taking those tackles.

    People are praising him from what I see. Don't start this crap. He had a great game and carried us tonight when we needed him

    I agree. Folks get caught up in putting all their attention on that one shiny diamond or gold bracelet that they don't notice that they have a diamond in the ruff.

    I loved the assists to Howard. Hope they make that a habit.
