The Houston Rockets Thread

[CKR13]

Rockets topple the Raptors in 2OT 110-104. Peculiar that Lin had no assists but was the team's leading scorer with 31 points. Howard with a double double of 18 points and 24 rebounds.

Jeremy Lin on fire yet again. He continued his hot-streak since the Raptors game.

Linsanity's game got wasted by shoddy defense in the fourth and overtime. Rockets blew it.

Rockets holding off the Knicks torrid shooting tonight to escape with a 109-106 win. James Harden and Carmelo Anthony traded baskets down the stretch and they traded free-throws in the precious seconds. Howard nailed two free-throws with under a minute to go, so Hack-A-Howard did not succeed.

James Harden finished with 36 points, Chandler Parsons with 22 points and Jeremy Lin, in his return to MSG had 21 points.

Aaron Brooks scoring 21 points tonight, shades of his most improved career year with the Rockets back in 2007-08. Francisco Garcia was also on target. They were teammates last year with the Kings.

Jeremy Lin will miss two weeks worth of games due to a knee sprain.

Horrible shooting by James Harden last night and almost to futility in shooting one's way out of a game slump. That said, injuries are currently stacked against the Rockets.

Also, quite a nostalgia seeing Francisco Garcia playing PG. Brings me back to his Loui days.

Terrence Jones is currently having a good game against the Golden State Warriors. Perhaps that shooting four that the Rockets were hoping to find was tucked in Jones all along. That said, Rockets have reportedly opened up trade talks about dealing Omer Asik.

After losing Lin against Indiana last week, now Patrick Beverley is out 5-6 weeks due to a fracture on his right hand.

Why can't I post two videos in one post????

Lin just switched from NIKE to Adidas. Adi basketball is looking a little thin these days with a lot of NBA talents are under NIKE while Adidas has Dwight Howard John Wall and the injured Rose.

I remember Lin having his PE's during the height of Linsanity, but the hype subsided when Lin was being challenged by Beverley's progress.

[CKR13]

Burned.

[CKR13]

Rockets winning tonight without Harden against their TX rivals, the Spurs. Howard and Jones really put on the work inside. Jeremy Lin overcame his poor shooting with timely assists. Team defense held in the final three minutes.
