We really need a "wake up" game.

Time to see how the Rockets look after their players-only meeting.

Finally a dump down to Howard. Howard needs to be more aggressive.

Lin & Jones have good chemistry. Noticed that since Jeremy has been back as a starter.

My two favorite teams in the league.
I will root for any team that shares the ball and plays good defense.

Well, if you change your mind and decide to cheer for the Rockets know that we still like you. :)

I was being a bit sarcastic since the both teams aren't known for any of those plays.
But, thanks for the offer. :lol:
Though, I must admit, Carmelo actually did play well last night against the Spurs by sharing the ball.
I wish Harden does that with his players esp. with the big guy.

Stop turning the ball over you taint licking jiggle lanterns.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

The announcers are saying Harden is "willing and fantastic passer and makes his team mates better." lmao

I really liked Dwight's composure on that exchange. There was a lot of pushing & shoving, arms got tangled up but he kept his cool.

I am glad that Tyson was not ejected, but they do need to let him cool down.

That's the kind of tainted assessment usually given by these so called professional announcers.
No wonder, the casual fans are only caring about stats rather than watching the actual games. lol

Edit:
But as for today, I must admit, Harden had a couple of fantastic assists even though he did hold the ball to kill the momentum a few times while jacking up a few 3's.

That said - take it down low against Tyson every play now!

Just like Jeremy just did! :D
