Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Shouldn’t Be Cast Aside for James Harden
There isn’t a doubt about who is the player Kevin McHale has given the reins to this season to take the Houston Rockets into the playoffs.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin & James Harden Taught a Lesson by the Indiana Pacers
If recent wins suggested that the Houston Rockets are going to be more than just a 7 seed no one is really afraid of in the Western Conference, the ongoing slump of Jeremy Lin on the offensive end and a demonstration by the Indiana Pacers in how to stop James Harden, it’s quite clear that they are still a fair distance away from becoming a postseason force to be reckoned with.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Keeps Struggling, James Harden Still Shining
On some nights, you think that the Jeremy Lin – James Harden backcourt duo is the best in the NBA.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin & James Harden Backcourt Keeps Getting Better
Letting the fact that the Houston Rockets were embarrassed in their previous game against a playoff rival, the Jeremy Lin project is improving nicely in recent weeks, taking his scoring and general playing ability up a notch or two, match James Harden, almost shot for shot, as the two steered the team back in the right direction.

Houston Rockets – Don’t Sign Andrew Bynum
For one season, Andrew Bynum got the minutes he thought he deserved, and went on to deliver the numbers to make us think of him as one of the best centers in the NBA. Fast forward to 2013, and he still hasn’t played a single game this season, and won’t get to either.

Golden State Warriors – Get Their Revenge on the Houston Rockets
After three consecutive wins over the Golden State Warriors, another good game from Jeremy Lin against his former team and an OK one from James Harden didn’t really help the Houston Rockets, who didn’t get anything from anyone else, while the sharpshooting duo of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson couldn’t miss a shot.

Houston Rockets – James Harden & Jeremy Lin Orchestrate a Comeback
Some nights things go easy for the Houston Rockets from the start, but other times it’s a struggle, and a huge uphill battle.

Houston Rockets – James Harden & Jeremy Lin Make Way for Others

Houston Rockets – Want a Big Man Next to James Harden & Jeremy Lin
The strength of the Houston Rockets this season (34-30, 7th in the Western Conference) has been the play of their back-court with James Harden getting most of the accolades next to Jeremy Lin, but they want to add a bit more strength and firepower down low, hoping to succeed in pursuing after Dwight Howard, or settling for Josh Smith and Andrew Bynum as the alternatives.
