I've been too negative lately. Time to turn that around!

The way the Rockets are playing so far deserves some negativity comments. lol

Bradley with 12 pts and not even the end of the 1st.

And Lin has just been ice cold from the 3 lately.

At the risk of dating myself here - there was an old, British sitcom that they used to show on MTV when I was a wee lad (this is back when MTV showing something besides a music video was considered weird).

The name of the show was "The Young Ones."

Why am I bringing this up?

I'm pretty sure that show is where Boston's Kelly Olynyk got his first job:

Lin hit in the head with 3:40 left in the second.

Who had that one on the board?

This latest headgear is what Lin needs when ever he drives to the basket.

Dwight & Jeremy looked really good those past two plays.

And now Harden gets in on it! :D

The Boston announcers are so bad. I would mute them even if I were a Celtics fan.

The last couple minutes may have been the best short spurt of play from Houston's top 5.

Lin attacking & creating (and defending with his face).

Harden choosing his spots, ready to strike at a moment's notice.

Parsons being the glue holding it together, making sure all parts are working in sync.

Jones just being ready to step up the moment he is needed, playing strong off the ball.

Dwight being the anchor. The focus.


Liked that a lot.

Really wish that Jeremy would stop defending with his face, tho.
