Lin has played decently well lately, but he is a horrible compliment to Harden.
Hopefully they can bring in another good PG who can hit spot up 3s to complement Harden and bring Lin off the bench. I think that'd be the ideal situation for Lin, but they're still pretty good the way they are.

Both Lowry and Dragic could do that. Makes me sick, but it has become pretty easy to find that type of PG. I'm sure Morey can grab someone.

Rockets are highest scoring team in NBA at a little over 105 ppg..while turning the ball over the most at over 16 per game

Only because they run more than any other team. 99 possessions a game is 2 more than the closest team to them at 97.
They are 10th in offensive efficiency, and 4th in turnover rate.

Or we could just give Lin time to develop. People forget that this is only his third season in the league and has only played in 90 games. Lowry was a fairly bad 3pt shooter his first four seasons in the league and worked hard to become a solid shooter.
ETA: and we already have that PG you want. His name is Toney Douglas and he is shooting 43% from 3.

Douglas is not good at any of the other parts of a point guard. Pass first isn't a good quality if you aren't good at passing.

Asik has really surprised me this season. Didn't know too much about him and why the Rockets were gonna pay him, but I'm happy they did. I think they are saying to head in the right direction.

That sums up the Bulls perfectly so far. Remember, they are also missing Rip Hamilton (again) as well as Rose.
Still say they are a huge nightmare matchup for the Eastern teams other than Miami when Rose comes back.

They remind me of the Hawks of recent years. You just never know which team will show up, which is very unlike the Bulls from recent years.

Maybe they are, but I'd be careful assuming too much. There's no reason to assume that Rose will be pre-ACL Rose this season. If he can't/won't do those amazing jump stops and still explode off his knees, he won't be nearly as effective out on the court. I'm tempering my expectations for his return.

Trust me if Rose returns at all, it will be better yhan what the Bulls have in the PG spot.
Hinrich has been just awful, save the 2nd Knicks game. NateRob has been terribly inconsistent and maddening to watch.
Teague looks good in limited minutes, but.. its limited minutes.

Well obviously, but that doesn't automatically make them the 2nd best team in East if he comes back limited.

If he comes back in February after the ASB (could be sooner because hes started practicing), I'd say he would have enough time to get himself into decent shape for a playoff push.

I'm less sure. He's so dependent on his athleticism to get to the rim and open shots. I think it's very likely it'll take him till next season to be 100% again.

big win for the rockets, harden with 17 in the 4th. First road win vs a team from the West.
Posted on 12/26/12 at 9:27 pm to Boomshockalocka
Asik with a mere 17 boards

That flaming Arky douche sure was right about James Harden.
Posted on 12/26/12 at 9:37 pm to PortCityTiger24
And Bulls management let him go for virtually nothing. Talk about a royal frick up.

Yep the Houston Rockets won big at the United Center on Christmas Day. The game was on nationwide on ESPN.
