    Agreed. If we're gonna have Harden run the point, Douglas is much better to camp out at the 3. Says nothing about Lin's PG ability (he is the better PG), but Douglas should be the starter if this is how the offense is gonna continue to run.

    Finally Harden having a good 1st half. Now keep that 19 point lead in the 12-19 range.

    I think once he starts making his drives to the basket, his confidence will rise and translate to making outside shots. While he has looked poor on shooting, he has looked great making passes, steals and even rebounding. I like his energy much much better on his second "Shift"

    The Rockets seem to have found a bench. Even Douglas looks like a pretty good backup.

    Ever since? That was the last game and we're only half-way through the first game since then.

    Okay.

    Harden sucks in last minute ISO. He's just not an ISO player, at least yet, even Lin of now(not Linsanity) is better.

    Folks, Lin looks great! Aside from shooting, he's been great defensively with 3 steals. He's locking down on rebounds and he's passing the ball well. There were 2 passes that were on point but Asik and Parsons just couldn't finish a poin-blank layup.

    Honestly, I wouldn't worry about Lin's scoring cuz he's doing so well on other things.

    It's on the rocket's main page, just go listen to his interviews. There's one post game in Miami where he says he says that Harden needs to be the main playmaker. In the post Detroit one he says TD is better in transition and a better match-up to defend against Detroit's back-up PG. He's said before in interviews that Lin had a lot of freedom in NY but this is not going to be democratic ball here, i.e. Lin has to do what he's told and give harden the ball.

    Lin is doing everything fine even excellent except for his shooting. Tony Doglas just hit some lucky shots (hopefully he can keep that), that's all. Stop the Tony better than Lin crap.

    but he would be so much better being a threat on the offensive end. He just needs to have the confidence on this part of the game. He is still making great passes and doing all other stuff that makes him great.

    Despite the lead, i hope sampson leaves him out there. TD will always be TD. If LIn finds his offensive game, this team can go places.
