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 – 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 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 – James Harden Not Playing Makes Jeremy Lin & Everyone Else Better
The Houston Rockets can play better defense and avoid late collapses like this in the future, but the writing is on the wall once again: Jeremy Lin as a point guard without interruptions is great for Dwight Howard and this entire team, that hopefully will finally learn something from this opportunity they’re getting by seeing James Harden sit on the sidelines with an injury.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin & The Rest Enjoy James Harden Not Playing
The Houston Rockets shouldn’t be better without James Harden, but his injury was a welcome change for a team that’s been stuck lately due to several factors. Jeremy Lin got the chance to start instead and play the way he is supposed to be. He didn’t have the best of performances, but the direction and style were perfect for the team, enabling Dwight Howard to have another big night and a third win this season over the San Antonio Spurs.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin is the Right Direction, James Harden the Wrong One
The Houston Rockets want to win an NBA championship, but the direction they’re taking, giving James Harden complete control of the offense and the team while relegating Jeremy Lin back to the bench in a reduced sixth man role isn’t going to get them anywhere anytime soon.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Doesn’t Matter When James Harden & Kevin McHale Ruin Everything
The process of turning the Houston Rockets from an exciting team that might challenge for the NBA title to a one-man show based on James Harden, which pretty much ruins the whole concept of adding talent as Dwight Howard and to a different extent Jeremy Lin get completely wasted and misused.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Suffering From James Harden & Kevin McHale Syndrome
If anyone needed more proof that the Houston Rockets aren’t headed in the right direction by benching Jeremy Lin & giving James Harden complete control over the team, the Houston Rockets losing to the Memphis Grizzlies was an excellent example of the awful work Kevin McHale is doing with this team, ruining special shooting night from Chandler Parsons.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Deserves Better But Might Not Get It
One game of the Houston Rockets actually playing very well without Jeremy Lin playing a major part of it doesn’t mean that the team is actually better with him as a sixth man while James Harden is paired up with Patrick Beverley in the backcourt, but obviously, there is more than one side to this.
