He didn't do a 360 over the back flip cartwheel dunk, so no he's not at 100%. No one can be 100% after a surgery

I'd even say statistically this might have been his best game too. He shot the ball extremely well tonight, 16/4/10 on 7-9 with 3 steals versus 21/10/7 o 6-16 with no steals. Definitely liked what I saw, he outplayed Lowry.

We still need consistency from the bench, but a win's a win. Entertaining game, Ross is gonna be a stud eventually.

Lin is also starting to look like the Lin of old these past two games.

beat the spread? by 11

game winning 3? obviously no opportunity, but Lin did shoot 50% from 3.

not play down to inferior opponents? check! The Rockets had been 1-4 against teams with losing records.

I dont believe the 1-4 against sub .500 team record is accurate. I KNOW we beat the Pistons twice.

we need to keep feeding Asik down low as much as we can since he can get some easy buckets for us.

Sampson just said before he signed with Rockets, that Asik's offense was offensive!!...LOL

It still is. I have never seen a big man miss as many gimmes around the Rim as Asik. His touch around the basket is horrendous.

But the man can rebound and clog the lane. So i forgive him. I wish he would just dunk the dam ball more often instead of going reverse layup all the time.

Only feed Asik when we play a weak interior team... We saw what happen when he went up against Howard...

Sampson dont know where he is or what day is it... haha

Rockets will likely get to the OKC game 3 hrs before tipoff..

I heard the announcers say that. But you had a point, so I went back and verified. So what they meant was the record of the teams at the time of the game, not their current records. So the first Detroit game doesn't count because they were 0-0 at the time. The teams Houston played against with losing records at the time of the game were:

DEN (1-3) Loss
DET (0-6) Win
POR (3-5) Loss
LAL (4-5) Loss
UTA (5-6) Loss

Howard is the best center in the league.

harden 44 mins
parsons 42 mins
lin 39 mins
asik 36 mins

thats a lot of minutes for a game that they lead from practically start to finish with a 10 point lead for almost the whole game

does sampson not look at the schedule?

Raps cut the lead down to 12 with 5 minutes left....Raps were cutting into the lead throughout the 4th qt.
