His foot. Might sit out next game too.

Jones looking good again. Really what has taken so long to give him PT? He looked good last season in the brief time he was given.

Dude's been exactly what the team needed alongside Howard. Best part: he's only 21 and he's making huge strides.

Exactly. Everyone is wanting to trade Asik for a PF. Honestly I wouldn't mind adding another wing and a back up C if the right deal comes along.

Yeah, if he continues to play like this, we could have the luxury of more flexibility when trading Asik. They won't have to pigeonhole the trade to merely get a stretch 4, and backup center is pretty important -- we've got to manage Dwight's minutes.

Love with a huge 3rd quarter. Another possible rally...

It was down to 8 but it's up to 17 now thanks to Brooks, who's 5/6 in threes with 23 points.

Yeah that 3rd Q ending made me think "uh-oh, another 4th Q give up", but then a Brooks-Lin 3 ball sandwich made me breath a little better. He's on FIRE. Beverley too. We need Beverley to be able to hit the 3, he gets too many open 3's and he has to make teams pay.

We couldn't afford to lose this one.

And then Parsons adds one to the board. Hard to lose when you're making all your threes.

Agreed. Just didn't know what would happen with Harden sitting although he hasn't been playing great. Minnesota has also played well this season so far. And DAMN Pekovic and Love dominate Off Rebs, frustrating to watch on game cast.

Is it weird to have Lin on your team now after all the time you spent shitting on him when he first started playing well in New York?

Much needed win. Rockets now 9-5. Notable contributors:

Brooks: 23 pts, 6/7 3pts
Jones: 18 pts, 10 rebs, 2 blks, 2/3 3pts
Howard: 11 pts, 14 rebs, 4 blks, 1/2 fts
Beverley: 17 pts, 5/8 3pts
Lin: 19 pts

Indeed. Needed to wash out the stupid Dallas loss, and needed to show we can bounce back. It really is encouraging that we've played so well this early, but you just wonder when they could turn the corner into a TOP team that doesn't have the Clippers type games like the Rockets have had this year, and we dominate the bad teams…still a ways to go. Maybe a trade can bring in the glue. I just hope we don't expect efficiency like that from Beverley and Brooks every night.

As long as they do it for one more game while Harden is out.

@ Memphis on Mon.

I wasn't thrilled he signed with the Rockets, but luckily we had PLENTY of cap space. I wasn't content with him as a starter either last, and he's not our starter anymore….. I think the role he plays now is PERFECT for him, and he has improved big time and his shooting abilities have given him a boost in my mind. Beverley is the backbone of our guard play and he provides the D, but Lin can come in and provide some offense if needed. Neither Beverley or Lin are 40 min a game guys, but I think they have it set up perfect as it is.
