Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Not Always Needed by James Harden & Dwight Howard
Posted on 7 Dec, 2013, by Greg in BasketballThe Houston Rockets can win games without Jeremy Lin, but the question is whether or not this kind of defensive effort, which makes up for the unintelligent offense you get for putting the ball in the hands of James Harden all of the time, is going to be something we see from the team almost every night, or was this just a one-time deal, motivated by the growing rivalry with the Golden State Warriors.

Houston Rockets – James Harden Without Jeremy Lin is a Disaster
Posted on 5 Dec, 2013, by Greg in BasketballWith so many injuries the Houston Rockets are dealing with right now – Jeremy Lin, Chandler Parsons, Omer Asik and Greg Smith, it’s essential James Harden doesn’t just have great games, but doesn’t try and do everything on his own. Unfortunately for the Rockets, there’s no one stopping Harden from doing just that, leading to a third loss at home, this time to the surprising Phoenix Suns. More
Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Needs Patrick Beverley to Keep on Like This
Posted on 4 Dec, 2013, by Greg in BasketballWith Jeremy Lin out for a couple of weeks, the Houston Rockets are once again completely the James Harden show. Whether that’s good or not is up for the record during that time to decide, but in terms of the quality of basketball the team plays, it’s awful. Why? Because one against five style doesn’t work in the long run, simple. The thing Lin should be keeping a watch on more than anything is Patrick Beverley. More
Houston Rockets – James Harden Needs Jeremy Lin With Him
Posted on 3 Dec, 2013, by Greg in BasketballWithout both Chandler Parsons and Jeremy Lin, it’s not that surprising to see James Harden try and win a game all on his own for the Houston Rockets. Despite a big fourth quarter it wasn’t enough, because the players around him aren’t smart enough to make up for those injured and not playing, and a bad defense that continues to plague this team in every game.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Injury Doesn’t Get in the Way
Posted on 28 Nov, 2013, by Greg in BasketballFor now, it doesn’t seem like the bruise Jeremy Lin picked up is going to be something that keeps him from playing in the next game for the Houston Rockets. In any case, his absence, and that of James Harden, meant nothing to the surging Rockets, beating the Atlanta Hawks 113-84 with Aaron Brooks and Francisco Garcia picking up the slack with an impressive performance while coming off the bench.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Should Be the Example For James Harden
Posted on 27 Nov, 2013, by Greg in BasketballIf the Houston Rockets were a team that’s run and coached the right way, Jeremy Lin wouldn’t have to wonder about his role and position on the floor. James Harden would be a star shooting guard that isn’t too busy trying to handle the ball too much, and Kevin McHale wouldn’t be using Patrick Beverley in the starting lineup or for so many minutes in general. But the last season and a bit are showing us that things are very different in South East Texas. More
Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Doesn’t Have to Be Great For Them to Win
Posted on 26 Nov, 2013, by Greg in BasketballThings aren’t as simple for the Houston Rockets without James Harden, but it does allow them to be more creative. Omer Asik playing the entire fourth quarter instead of Dwight Howard, Jeremy Lin sitting down for most of it while Omri Casspi and Chandler Parsons lead the team on huge surge to beat the Memphis Grizzlies 93-86.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Makes Them Look Like a Team
Posted on 24 Nov, 2013, by Greg in BasketballLike a trail of breadcrumbs left for Kevin McHale to pick up and understand the hints, each time he uses Jeremy Lin the way he’s supposed to be used, the Houston Rockets look like a very good basketball team. It doesn’t matter that Aaron Brooks starred for the team in their 112-101 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, but it does mean something that James Harden didn’t play, and unless something is done about his playing style the potential of this squad will continue to be wasted.

Houston Rockets – James Harden & Jeremy Lin Enjoy The Dwight Howard Free Throw Show
Posted on 17 Nov, 2013, by Greg in BasketballAt some point, hack-a-Dwight had to backfire on someone. That team happened to be the Denver Nuggets, seeing an incredible free throwing performance from Dwight Howard, stepping up instead of the mistake-filled James Harden game or Jeremy Lin having a solid performance from the bench, leading the Houston Rockets to a 122-111 win. More
Houston Rockets – James Harden Playing Like Jeremy Lin Needs Him to For Once
Posted on 15 Nov, 2013, by Greg in BasketballAt his best, James Harden makes the Houston Rockets a title contender. The problem is that his efficient and rather composed performance against the New York Knicks isn’t something the Houston Rockets get from him every night. Jeremy Lin, coming off the bench again, was finally happy with the kind of basketball he saw from his team and especially star teammate, but is it something he can count on happening again? More

The Sexy Football Calendar of 2014
In 2013, it was all about the managers.
