Rockets/Sixers Game Thread

[sep11ie]

Yea, we rank near the top in the league in half court d and at the bottom in transition.

These 6ers aren't the playoff team of last year, but it's good to win the games we are supposed to.

Also, could Harden have been any more efficient tonight?

This was a good win because they beat a team they were supposed to beat by a huge margin and they got everyone to contribute. Also, Lin and Harden looked great together for the second straight game. The only frustrating thing about this five game stretch against the East is that they lost to Toronto. If they win that game, then the Rcokets are 14-11 with a five-game winning streak headed into a stretch against some really tough Western Conference teams.

But beating Eastern Conference teams isn't nearly as important as playing well against the West and the Rockets have games over the next couple of weeks with Memphis, Minnesota, San Antonio and OKC. They need to win at least a couple of those games, especially the one against Minnesota.

seems like Lin little by little being a bit assertive and being aggressive and that's the reason he's been playing well this past two games.

even when he shoot his 3 pointers, you can see he doesn't hesitate. seems his confidence is back. also, he's been attacking the basket a bit more, meaning he feels much better about those knees.

He needs to do that. That's his game. It actually makes him gel better with Harden. I like the way the Rockets are flying to the other end after a make or miss from the opponent. You saw Knicks players celebrating about making a shot and ope, a Rocket is already at the other end scoring a layup.
