Jeremy Lin and the Houston Rockets will play in the Madison Square Garden against Lin's former team, the New York Knicks. It's right there where Linsanity started. Should be a good game.
Houston just crushed the Chicago Bulls with Lin, Harden, Parsons and Asik all scoring in the 20's.
Thomas Robinson unveiled in a Rockets jersey. I wish the best for him as the Rockets traded for potential. With the Kings, he saw some minutes at the C spot but he is really a power forward.

I hope he won't steal Motiejunas' minutes that he's earning lately. Rockets should play this guy as 5![]()
Well, he won't steal Asik's minutes so good luck with that. If he plays even half his potential this year then it's definitely bye bye to Motiejunas as the latter gets bumped out of the rotatoin.
From what I've seen he's an athletic freak, but basically only one trick ponny. At this point Motiejunas' potential might be transcendent compared.

Plus Motiejunas has the perimeter shooting that Robinson has had trouble in his rookie year. I saw to or three instances of Motiejunas setting a quick screen and pedaling into shoot reflex as Lin or Harden goes for a hard drive. In that ball reversal situation, Motiejunas gets easy looks for shots. This is where Robinson will struggle as his shooting percentage is dim above the 10ft mark.
Robinson had trouble when we gave him instances of isolation in the low block. He faces up and forces the action; most of the time resulting into a turnover. Robinson got his points and rebounds with the Kings through cleaning the boards as he rarely gets a setup pass from the other four.
In McHale's high point entry dribble drive instances, Motiejunas is faring better. His confidence is cumulative with his increasing minutes. While for Robinson, Rockets did not have someone this athletic since Stromile Swift. Robinson will get some alley-oops if he times his screens.
