    Jeremy's midrange jumper used to be money. Tonight he missed both :(.

    On the other hand,

    Lin is playing great need to get his assist up and keep the turnovers down

    Parsons is having a awesome game

    Dwight is a monster tonight..can't believe I just admitted that must be the Christmas cheer!!!

    Would like to see DMo come in a pull the Mavericks four out when Howard is in but probably not going to happen

    2nd Half:

    Need to get the Mavs in foul trouble early

    Watch out for the zone defense from Rick C

    Keep draining the threes

    I love watching Howard go to work. Really happy that his post game is looking really good. Hopefully when Hakeem comes back he can work on adding another move to his game. He really is looking fluid now and not so robotic like earlier in the season.

    So far Rockets doing pretty good D on Dallas' two guards, but I would expect Ellis to up his points in the second half.

    Parsons > Harden

    Harden > Lin

    I expected 4-6 TOs tonight and he just has to play throug them. Sometimes he's just sloppy but he looks way better than I expected him to look physically and he's scored the ball a few ways. I think he's trying to force assists and he's just hasn't built up the chemistry with his teammates yet to do so and he's a little out of sync but his attack and drives to the hoops were strong.

    yeah it's a beauty. He's establishing position closer to the rim and is really using his strength to back down his opponent now whereas early in the season it was more finesse.

    TJones is getting eaten alive by Dirk though, this is twice so far this year.

    Dwight is super efficient man......

    Lin just need to focus on getting to the rim and draw fouls.

    Well Lins been on the bench so long he probably rarely gets to play with Howard. Hes probably more used to feeding Smith than he is with Howard. I think if they gave Lin more of a chance with Howard those lobs would be much better. Parsons has been playing amazing.

    Howard is a monster. Wish we'd feed him a bit more.

    Best thing you can do against Dirk is wave your arms and jump around like an idiot right as he is about to shoot.
