    Harden is what he is. Superstar potential finally playing like one. Andybody questioning why he hasn't improved defensively or offensively much, look nowhere else but the coaching staff. But he's superstar caliber with the right coach.

    Rox we're struggling on rebounds when the cats were close. Maybe mchale put bev to increase def rebounds... Just maybe. Bev did played better at the end though.

    If people just realize that Lin is a true bench player and will never start or finish games unless he's playing out of his mind and/or Tjones is sucking, then we'll have some more peace in here.

    That may be the case, but then why is he jacking up 10 shots attempts in the game- one more than Howard? At least he hit the 3 at the end to put the cherry on top of this game

    Wow, glad we won! We managed to win this on the road against a decent team, that dismantled the Trailblazers, despite our abysmal showing at the FT line. Beardsanity!

    Let's see ... The Rockets add Howard and improve by 10 games... Nope not a real fit issue.

    Solid win. I am LOLing at some of the people whining about Howard. He had a sub par game and still put up a double double. One mediocre game doesn't change all the things he's done for this franchise this season.

    James Harden is freaking amazing.

    Glad to see us hit some shots at the end to ice it. On to the next.

    I find it interesting that the Rockets win was keyed by the bench, despite them only scoring 22 points.

    Great win against a team that had being playing well at home. The Bobcats even played the Spurs on their current 13 game winning streak two tough games.

    He disrupts the entire opposing team's offense, while Lin just waits to see how his player will beat him. Look at the possessions Lin was on Kemba, Kemba had his way every single time.
    Bev did mess up a bunch of times there's no arguing that, but his presence alone makes it a lot harder for the Bobcats to score. Lin on the other hand is seen as a chink in our armor (sorry for that one, had to do it) and opposing players focus on him on offense.

    On offense, Bev is a much better fit than Lin with the starting unit, it has been proven countless times statistically and observationally. Bev will go for the loose balls, will go for the offensive rebound and spread the floor. Lin needs the ball in his hands to be effective, taking the ball away from Harden which we don't want.

    I'd have no problem if you were autistic, in fact it would explain why you can't grasp basic basketball concepts.

    Howard is an all star and should be consistent like harden. He gets paid max contract. So he needs to play at MVP level

    Parsons shot that pull up like he wasn't missing everything for the last 2 weeks.

    He shot it and yelled ****!

    Asked about Al Jefferson being compared to him during his playing days, McHale said, "Al's got a way bigger ass than I do."
