    Based strictly on tonight's stats, Lin's performance is about double that of Kidd and Felton. This concludes they got the contracts just about right.:grin: Great overall game by the Rockets...still too many TOs though.

    Really happy for Lin.

    Wsh we could get some offensive production out of our 4 and 5 spots.

    Lin just needs to be involved in the offense. Things like him bringing the ball up every time and him always being the outlet guy to lead the fast breaks is huge for him.

    It's like when he's involved, his brain isn't left to wonder off to thinking about other things.

    Didnt he have a lot of turnovers during linsanity as well? Seems like that's still a work in progress

    Now what the Rockets need to do is get the next OKC game for Harden...the last game was on a sour note so I respect the loss.

    To be fair, beating OKC is much taller task than beating NYK.

    It's a nice feeling to break a road game losing streak and a bonus to break someone else home game winning streak. :grin:

    Great performance by Harden and Lin tonight - 50p, 14r, 11a, and 4s between the two.
    Asik and Parsons didn't score much but their defense were great. I think Asik was tired (3 games in 4 nights) and Parsons shoulder still bothering him.

    Better defense and better ball movement. Keep it up Rox :)

    This was a great game for Lin and the Rockets! Both Jeremy and Harden got theirs tonight. The coaching staff should analyze the tape to nail down how it's done.

    I'm talking about total team TOs, not just one person. One of the primary reason Knicks been doing so well is their slow and control pace plays (not this game though since they had just as many TOs).

    Just finished watching the post game by the Knicks's Alan Hahn who is a very good analyst. They mentioned the Rockets designed some ISOs for Lin at the very beginning of the game. I guess the coaches did do a favor to Lin to let him be the main guy for this special return game. Thanks for the love, coaches.

    Ok? I was simply asking if I had remembered correctly that Lin put up a lot of assists but also a lot of turnovers last year.

    Just got back from the game in NYC, I don't think I've seen Lin play that aggressively all year sans the San Antonio game. It looked like the coaching staff made a gameplan to get him more involved since this was his revenge homecoming game. Even Harden was shouting on the court to get Jeremy the ball. I can live with the turnovers because despite them he executes the right play most of the time which leads to buckets.
