    It was actually pretty elementary dribbling by Bev. I can't believe I am saying this, but Jeremy Lin would really help this team.

    Er.. I just saw Lin play tonight and he was terrible so I don't know what you talking about.

    Good win! One step closer to Chicago firing Thibs!

    No, are you forgetting Lin driving into the paint, jumping up in the air, and then realizing he has to do something with the ball?

    Great game last night! I love the way our PF's controlled the paint.

    Go Rockets!

    Awesome win last night. We really went after those rebounds and I think that's what kept momentum on our side.

    Another big factor was that we didn't settle for 3 pointers. The Bulls couldn't defend us. I hope McHale will encourage the players to continue scoring in different ways along with good defense and rebounding.

    The Rockets can't hit their "peak" without Dwight Howard, and a healthy Dwight Howard at that.

    The way we played at the start of the season (see the first Heat game) that was the Rockets team that looked absolutely dangerous. Harden and Howard were dominant on both ends of the floor, Ariza, Terry, Beverley and Pap were hitting threes, and the defense looked amazing. That was the first game where I thought this Rockets team was for real! Now add a healthy Jones and an improved bench and this team has new heights to reach.

    Is there any way to formally complain to the team about Worrell, Clyde and Bullard exclusively referring to Terrence Jones as "T. Jones"? It's stupid, unoriginal and they cannot stop saying it.

    Smith and Brewer are really helping the team.

    Harden is not doubt the MVP so far.

    I just hope McHale give some minutes to Cannan.

    Great Game!!

    He was not comfortable on his role.

    There were many times JVG and Rucco need to ask him what does he think.

    If he want this to be his next career, he has a long way to go, watched couple college games he did and he was very nervous also.

    Curry and Harden are the two best players in the NBA both deserve MVP and I think Curry will win it.

    Just think about what will be like for Harden if he will have a Clay Thompson to release pressure from his defenders.
    Now every team is concentrating in just stopping Harden. In Golden State, there are at least 4 players that can score so teams can't concentrate on one or two players.

    Curry has way to much help and Harden has had to deal with Dwight being gone or injured the whole year. We would not even be 8th seed without him IMO and I don't think I'm being a homer saying this but Harden is the clear MVP. I think most intelligent basketball minds would be on the same page.

    I'm surprised pau gasol doesn't yell whenever he shoots a jump shot. He might as well since he yells for every other shot.

    I'm really sick of his fade away jumpers recently, he's been doing that like he is on Harden's level or something. Why can't over achieving players just stick with what they do best and play their role.
