    I think the Rockets might be overrated. Asik and Howard in the starting lineup is not going to work. Some good Defensive teams will guard Lin tight and pressure him. Lin relies on Pick and Rolls to advance the ball/make a play neither Howard or Asik are pick and roll/pop type bigs.

    What do you mean when you say overrated? Because if you mean finishing 3-5 I agree. But you're taking about offense just like everyone else which is where you're in the wrong. We don't need howard for offense. Our offense runs itself and we have one of the youngest teams in the league so we're only going to improve Also you brought up Lin who is a good pick and roll player and is our fourth option. We'll finish 3rd or 4th in the wc this year and hopefully improve on that next year.

    Looks like Patrick Beverley has won the starting PG role. I'd actually think he'd be better suited coming off the bench but given his abilities on the defensive end I see why McHale madethat move.

    Yea I think it's mainly defensive. Plus Lin plays better without harden so he can play the ginobili role. Bev is also a better spot up 3 pt shooter.

    Not at all, defensively we will be stacked and he can hit the open 3 as well. I still like Jeremy Lin but I think he has the potential to flourish in a sixth man type role and he can still play with the starters too. Only a few more hours fellas!

    I saw a completely different team tonight I don't care if it's the bobcats. The paint seemed so small and there were times where Dwight and Asik were at the rim at the same time contesting shots.
    Now to the offense. .. Ehhh ? was ugly at times especially in the first half. It's almost like Howard and Harden make up their mind before hand that they need to shoot because they haven't touched the ball in a minute. Lin balled, the shot looks better and you can tell he has a chip on his shoulder. Sisco was raining as well. Overall aiight game from the squad but I like what I saw...

    Jeremy Lin played really well last night, he shot the ball with confidence and just looked more comfortable all around. Definitely want to see some more ball movement though....

    Offense was ehh need more movement.

    Sisco & Jeremy 35 off the bench was a good look.

    Can't wait til Friday, will be interesting to see if the starting lineup stays the same. Considering how josh ? mcroberts was raining 3's imagine what dirk can do.

    Yea that lineup ain't gonna work against any team that has a pf that can shoot 3s. Those line drive 3s from McRoberts garbage ass were ? me off. MKG was out there looking like Ronnie brewer jr.... smh ? has no jumper....

    Good game last night. Dwight was a monster on the boards again but we let up. Lin played well again but too many turnovers and dumb passes by him and harden. Despite that harden went off and was efficient as hell. They tried intentionally fouling d12 once they knew they couldn't stop us and that and the matchup zone killed us for a little while. You can tell it's all mental with Dwight because once he hit one he hit like 4 in a row. Can't let up tonight against Utah no reason we shouldn't beat them tonight....

    Yeah that's my fault. That Clippers game will be an early measuring stick.
