Houston Rockets – James Harden Explosion Means Jeremy Lin Left With Garbage Time
It’s hard to complain about anything James Harden does when he scored 43 points en route to a 129-103 win for the Houston Rockets over the Sacramento Kings, leaving Jeremy Lin to get his minutes and most of his numbers in the long garbage time of the fourth quarter.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Can’t Be Playing Less Than Patrick Beverley
Not everything makes sense in the world of the NBA, and one of them is the Houston Rockets starting and playing Patrick Beverley more minutes than Jeremy Lin. Maybe it worked out one game with a rare game winning shot, but over the long run it has been and will be proven that they’re simply making a mistake.

Houston Rockets – James Harden & Dwight Howard Are Going to Need Jeremy Lin
For once, Patrick Beverley showed up on offense not to mention hitting the biggest shot of the game, but there’s no consistency to his game, so while he might have been the hero of the 115-112 win over the Phoenix Suns, the Houston Rockets and especially the two stars, James Harden and Dwight Howard, are going to be sorry if the renewed misuse of Jeremy Lin becomes a daily thing.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Forced to Watch James Harden Doing Too Much
There’s nothing wrong with losing after an 8-game win streak, especially on the road to a good team like the Golden State Warriors. But the Houston Rockets could have extended it a bit further if Jeremy Lin would have been more involved, instead of having forced to stand in the corner and watch James Harden do almost everything, while Patrick Beverley shows once again what an unreliable offensive player he is.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Doesn’t Do Much as James Harden Helps Dwight Howard With Revenge
It doesn’t feel the same with Kobe Bryant not even playing, but you take what you get. Dwight Howard had a big enough game against a hateful Los Angeles Lakers crowd while James Harden was the one who enjoyed playing against a no-defense and horrible team as the Houston Rockets cruised to a victory at the Staples Center, not needing anything special from Jeremy Lin.

Houston Rockets – James Harden Better Off if Jeremy Lin Isn’t Traded
There’s comes a point when James Harden will need to have a long hard look in the mirror and decide what he wants to be when he grows up. A sorta superstar who has plenty of points and big numbers but no real achievements, or someone who is known for being a team player, even if it means giving the ball up from time to time while players who can do just as well with it, like Jeremy Lin, get to be part of the process.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Staying is a Championship Decision
The Houston Rockets, regardless of whether they start Jeremy Lin or use his as a Sixth Man, are a team that aren’t favorites to win an NBA championship. But as it becomes clearer that they aren’t planning on trading the aforementioned point guards, they’ve come a step closer to making this season more successful than the previous one.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Would be an All-Star With a Different Coach
No one is arguing that Jeremy Lin still has a way to go before he becomes an elite point guard in the NBA, but there’s a very good chance that with a different head coach (Kevin McHale) that doesn’t completely prefer the wrong player to lead his team (James Harden), the Houston Rockets would be with three All-Star players instead of just two.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Telling James Harden What to Do
Two things that will stand out from the Houston Rockets beating the Washington Wizards – James Harden hitting a game winning layup and Jeremy Lin taking over the timeout talk and drawing board from Kevin McHale, as the winning streak keeps going forward.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Teaches James Harden a Thing or Two
Many times statistics don’t tell the whole story, and even though Jeremy Lin didn’t put up the most impressive of stat lines, it was his presence that made the Houston Rockets play their best basketball in a dominant fourth quarter, while James Harden sat it out entirely, watching from the bench, hopefully taking some pointers.
