UGH - Toney Douglas letting the game slip away

What a game between Spurs - Rockets

rockets have to protect the ball too many turnovers...

Refs took them out of the game I thought. Very entertaining game though. Not sure why Greg smith did not get more burn.

Young team with all the turnovers but they are fun to watch.

The game went south right as Harden got his fifth foul and Lin was benched. Rockets kept a steady 2 or 4 points deficit. I dislike coaches who just sit there and watch as their team loses control of the floor. When Spurs went on that 11-0 run, McHale sat there like a clown. If it weren't for Pop calling a timeout, McHale would have sat there for another 2 minute.

Parker/Duncan both combined for 61 points. Lin/Harden both combined for 54 pts. Chandler was great too. TD had some nice shots. Good game overall.

I thought for sure the final score was going to be 140 to 146. Parker and Duncan were shooting lights out but Spurs still manages to win only by six points.

they are a blast bro.. i love watching them..

I can see Rockets morphing into an OKC type team within two years. Harden, Lin and Chandler can all score in the high 20's They're missing one vital piece to the puzzle at the moment.

They are fun but take it down a notch :). OKC is elite, Houston is not there yet. Harden is a beast but Lin still has rough edges such as his jumper. Chandler is a nice all around player.

PF... I like patrick patterson, but he would be a great backup PF for that team... they need a stud at PF and they are set...

What do you mean take it down a notch? I said two years. They are going up against elite teams at the moment without a care in the world and making those elite teams work for their points/wins.

When was the last time you saw a team blow out the Rockets?

Lin will only continue to improve. He doesn't have to prove anything to anyone at this point except just continue to play excellent basketball consistently. We already know what he's capable of.

The only two weaknesses I see from Lin is his outside perimeter shots and his ability to drive/dribble left. There will be some nights where he shoots 1 for 5 and some nights where he goes 4 for 5.

His mid range/paint drive games are both excellent. He doesn't really have Turnover problems anymore unlike his Linsanity days. Lin is improving and above all, very FUN to watch.

This is why Houston Rockets are the 2nd most favored team for attendance right behind the L.A Lakers. When Rockets come into town, people buy tickets and put their A$$ in the seat.

Ironically, their home game crowd are almost always empty.
