    those of you advocating lin starting clearly didn't watch the bench...

    we need lin, i hope we don't trade him, but he really can spark coming off that bench.

    Something wrong with this. It's about what's best for the team. We won't get past the second round with this bench play. We need Lin leading the second unit. He'll still play 30+ minutes per game. He'll shoot 8-10 FTs a game at the end of quarters. And most importantly, he'll finish games like he was before his injuries.

    SAS and OKC have shown how important the 6th man role is for a championship contender, so no one's being "reduced" to anything.

    And no Howard? You do realize, of course, that those moves put us in position to sign Howard, no?

    ok, but i am talking about the 5 turnovers and constant whining & complaining to the refs and not being serious.

    he just rides the coat tails of the Rockets best players: Parsons, Lin & Harden.

    jones had something to do with the paint d.

    & i definitely think Jones had a better game than howard.

    Ugh, they're terrible. I do prefer them to the pajama uniforms though. Barely. I hated those.

    Apparently we match very well with the Spurs. The Spurs team were really gassed at the 4th quarter.

    When Harden is in a "playmaking mood", focuses on D more, and plays an efficient and balanced offensive game, we are really really tough to beat. Reminds me of some of the ultra efficient games he had last year. When he tries to do too much by himself is when things head south real quick. Anyway, I'm glad he's showing maturation and progression lately. I hope this trend continues and he blossoms into a true superstar.

    Yes - again, the simple logic wins. Last year's high assist, fast breaks ADDS Howard.

    Why is that so hard to understand?

    On another note, someone posted this "reputation" comment response to the "Merry Christmas, Clutchfans. What would you give the Rockets?" thread where I wrote "D'Antoni, Karl, or Sloan.": "HAHAHAHAHAAAAA! Just started watching basketball last year, we see,...... no bball IQ...LOF! roflmao"

    Are the mods going to do anything about such hate-filled, anonymous comments?

    Its hard to get Harden hot.

    He should maintain same pattern of plays without rushing for scores.

    Nothing better than expecting a lose only for the team to pull through.
