    A lot better than the chemistry on the board.

    But man.. those last few plays were hard to take.

    He played 44 last night. unlike before, in this game the ball went to him when others could not make something happen.
    Also he is less frequently on the weak side.

    Lin did 3 things right tonight:
    1 very good defense and proper help defense. Ellis disappeared tonight.
    2 push the pace hard. He followed Dallas's big guy to the paint and use them to set a "moving" screen twice in the 4th quarter. Very smart play...
    3 distributing the ball well.

    I thought Mavs was gonna be tougher than an injured Spurs team and with Harden out. Happy to see the W.

    What’s with all this hate?
    Can’t you just be happy that we won?

    I think the guys got too relaxed in when we were leading 10+ points with a few minutes left. They need to have killer instinct and not play around even if we have 30+ points lead with 1 second left in the clock

    All the point guards played big tonight. Bev, Lin, and AB all played great.

    I think this game just shows how badly both Lin and Harden fit together, JLin was built to be an SG in our offense. I'm not exactly a LOF but the way he plays with both Bev and Brooks make me think we don't really need Harden.

    Harden and Tjones or Dmo for franchise PF like Love or Griffin.

    Lin was built to be the PG. He just plays SG to fill in for Harden, and plays 6th man to humor McHale.

    LOL...on another thread, someone said this is Linsanity all over again, its almost February, star scorer on team goes down, Lin comes off the bench and sparks them to consecutive wins

    The Rockets would be awesome if JHarden played SG instead of PG.

    Either that or trade whoever for another SG cos Lin is not v good as a SG.

    whoa, parsons just said this in an interview

    "When he's out, we have a more balanced attack," Parsons said of Harden. "We run our sets and get the best shot available. When he's not there, we don't go one-on-one as much."

    The unnecessary fouls beyond the arc make the final minutes tough..
