    Lin needs to stop being so unselfish sometimes in transition. He'goes full speed to the basket and could have a lay in or floater from 4 feet but decides to pass in traffic or kick it back out

    Dude, seriously? That's just an unnecessary shot, and it's not even true, lol.

    Anyway, I'm glad to see the Rockets taking care of business.

    Of course, the Magic are one of the worst teams in the league missing their best player, and this is what we should be doing. With or without Harden/Parsons. Everyone is playing well, and it's good to see.

    And I LOVE Greg Smith in that starting lineup. He should be our starter for the remainder of the year at PF.

    Amen. It's funny some Rockets fans actually make Jeremy Lin's fans their enemy. Just can't understand the thinking behind it.

    Not to be picky, but our defensive intensity slipped a little in the second quarter. That's too many points to give up.

    Greg Smith should start. And McHale, can you at least give us fans a taste of AB at SG alongside Beverley or Lin? Please?

    You're not helping. Stop the divisiveness. You know Bev is solid.

    First of all, Asik is doing well, perhaps he is the MVP of today's game...but when you're using the adjective "decent" to describe the game Jeremy has had, you're just alerting us all that you're a troll, now be gone! :mad:

    Oh just stop it, you are the kind of worst troll.

    We are winning big and everyone playing great and instead of praising the team you want to stir up the Rockets fanbase.

    It is like going to the Lakers forum and you hate to see people giving complements to Kobe when he plays well.

    Shame on you :mad:

    So what is the adjective should be used ?
    7 assist 4/6 FG and 9pts and +29 half court stats?

    Heh, if Harkless scored 17 in the first half with Harden in there, I'd be fussing and fuming. I didn't even notice - surely he didn't light up Andersen like that.

    Asik is without a doubt the MVP of this game. Flat out dominating the paint out there. Haven't seen our interior D this good since we had Yao and JVG as coach.

    Man, this is all freakin deja vu for me again. Harden is not Melo cuz he is more selfless. But last year with the Knicks when Melo was injured and Linsanity occurred with great team play, Knicks fans were all screaming for Melo to stop iso balling once he returned. Now the same thing is happening here.
