Chicago Bulls – Showing Carmelo Anthony he Chose the Wrong Team
A lot of new things for the New York Knicks, but not enough, as Carmelo Anthony faced the team he should have signed with, the Chicago Bulls, and looked terrible, like the rest of his teammates, losing at home 104-80, while Pau Gasol and Taj Gibson did a very good job in hiding the fact that Derrick Rose was far from his best.

Chicago Bulls – Aaron Brooks is the Backup Derrick Rose Needs
After making some big moves to change and improve their frontcourt, the Chicago Bulls had to address a vital situation, which is finding someone adequate to play as backup point guard for Derrick Rose.

If anyone still wondered about Dwight Howard being able to carry a team on his back without any outside help, his performance in the 114-97 win over the Detroit Pistons was a satisfying answer, having no James Harden to keep the ball away for him, while Jeremy Lin comes closer to a return, partially because Patrick Beverley broke his arm.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Injury Doesn’t Get in the Way
For 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 Makes Them Look Like a Team
Like 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.

Luis Scola and Aaron Brooks led the way for the Houston Rockets as they beat the LA Lakers 95-80 and forced a game 7 upon us. Kobe Bryant tried to do it all by himself but fell short, way short. The Lakers looked flat, even unmotivated and now have risky game 7 on their hands.
