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.

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.

Los Angeles Lakers – Winning Without Even Playing

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin & James Harden Led by Chandler Parsons
Not for the first time in the last couple of weeks, and not for the last time if Kevin McHale gets his way, the Houston Rockets show that defense isn’t an ugly word for them, and that Chandler Parsons can continue to lead this team in scoring while James Harden and Jeremy Lin enjoy not being the focus of the offense once in a while.
