1/13/14 - Rockets @ Boston GT

Yeah and those stretches coincided with that terrible small ball line-up. What happened to Smith is he out again? And like no recent updates on Asik either.

I think I read somewhere that he (Smith) got stiff during the Wizards game. I'd guess that's the reason he was out today again too? That's like the what? 4th time he's got injured this year?

Low turnovers, excellent play between Howard and Lin, Parsons a little rusty but made a big impact especially the time playing with the 2nd unit, Dwight imposing his will and wasn't a disaster at the FT line, Harden can have an off game but still contribute and made a decent effort defensively at times, big game for Jones on the boards and scoring, Casspi had a good game, the team looked like a team again for the most part.

Still not able to put a weak team away and Bradley going off in the game is OK, he had his shooting touch going but what's going on when Bayless goes off in the 4th? Rebounding still a little soft, a lot of work to do on PnR defense. But a very good game. Still a need for a center in the 2nd unit, someone to provide intimidation at the rim when Dwight is resting.

still gave up 15 ORB to Boston.

A win is a win...right?

Can't help but point out that Lin went from being a scrub (4 poor offensive games in a row) to having 2 great back to back games. Others have mentioned that these 2 games happen to coincide with Finch taking over the assistant position from Sampson in his absence so I wonder if this had anything to do with it.

Tbh, after the last game I was suspicious that they were giving both Ronnie Brewer and Jeremy so much burn, I thought that they may have been trying to showcase both of them for a trade but now I'm leaning toward the coaches finally letting Lin play a bit more pg. Don't want to make too much a deal out of this as it's only been 2 games, hopefully this trend can continue forth.

Stay positive..only took them 1/3 of the season to figure out what a lot of other people already knew: Good things will happen when you let Lin run the show.

They've changed if they let Lin run the show after he has a bad 7 TO game running the offense. He's still a young player and will have some up and downs throughout the season.

Noted before, Sampson IS the problem.

Given that McHale isn't much of an Xs and Os kind of coach, it would stand to reason that the lead assistant has significant influence on how the team plays on the hardwood.

[13th Man]

Gonna stay positive here and try to refrain from further conspiracy theories. Just happy that the team seems to be playing better team ball and hope that this trend continues.

[Nebula1]

Another good road win and good to see the team is slowly getting healthy.


Shame about that Hawks loss but on to the next one..

If I remember correctly, the uploader is a Worriors fan who also happens to be Lin's since they both are from the Bay area and he uploads Rockets highlight whenever Lin has a decent game.
Highlight contains Lin plus the Team.
