    Yup We got an ugly win. Late in the third Brooks and someone else scored the last 4 points and got us within 6. Lin showed up in the 4th and scored 14 points along with Harden constantly going to the Lin. D-Mo did good too on defense. Garcia had a dagger 3.

    The Rockets have played the most games in the west (along with Utah)... They have a very good record considering the injures and learning to adjust to Howard. Bolds well for them on the back half of the season... Big game coming up on Sunday.

    Yea I saw McHale say a few things a lot. "Remember, if you don't do well, the bench is always here."

    jk. McHale did a decent job pumping the guys up. But man did he look stressed. He was smiling though at the end when there was 30s left

    I hear ya. Lin needs to be more consistent. I think Lin's shot selection is pretty good, so you're wrong on that account. Lin can be loos with ball posession, but I hope He continues to work on that year in year out.

    GOt to give Credit for LIn's defensive improvement this year. He really contained Parker and Conley. Parker didn't even look like MVP like he was last year.

    Why is everyone so surprised at Lin's defense? He was only very slightly marginally than Bev last season in defensive ratings. This season he shut down Calderon to 0pts and the job he did on Parker last weak was masterful. Conley is no Parker so no surprise he shut him down too. He has done a better defensive job than Bev this season... by far.

    I truly believe in about 2 or 3 years Lin will have a Nash like revelation. Right now he is too hesitant and inconsistent but is coming along nicely.

    What the hell is going on? First Parsons, then Lin, now D12? That new locker room must be bad for backs.

    Yes it would. That's why it didn't happen.

    No LOHs on this board for sure. Just Rocket-only-fans.

    Lin didn't just contain Conley in the 4th. I thought his 2x 3 pointers and 14pts in the quarter (+ key rebounds) were more impactful.
