Houston Rockets – James Harden & Dwight Howard With a Dream Start to the Season
Last season the Houston Rockets felt like a great team in the making before failing to do well in the playoffs. This season it’s clear – it’s all about James Harden and Dwight Howard, who are off to an excellent start after the first couple of games.

A bad first half from the Los Angeles Lakers meant Kobe Bryant didn’t make the impact he wanted against Dwight Howard, and the same goes for Jeremy Lin facing James Harden and the Houston Rockets, with the visitors walking away with a comfortable and dominant 108-90 victory.

Top 10 Highest Paid NBA Players in the 2014-2015 Season
The top 10 of highest paid NBA players is always a list that creates a lot of discussion, as opinions differ about those who “deserve” the money, players in their prime like LeBron James and Chris Paul, and those who are getting overpaid, especially when they’re on a steep decline, like Joe Johnson and maybe Kobe Bryant as well.

Heat Over Rockets – Only the Stars Show Up
The NBA preseason is often a time for lesser known players and guys fighting for a place in the league to shine, but it was mostly about the stars of the Houston Rockets and the Miami Heat, James Harden & Dwight Howard on one side, Dwyane Wade & Chris Bosh on the other, as the two teams clashed in Miami.

Houston Rockets – James Harden Doesn’t Change One Bit
The focal point of the preseason opener for both the Dallas Mavericks and the Houston Rockets was Chandler Parsons playing quite well against his former team, but the best player on the floor was James Harden, who doesn’t seem like a changed player for good and bad despite a summer of improved responsibility with the national team.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Shows How Bad Daryl Morey Is at Basketball
One last time about Jeremy Lin and the Houston Rockets. There’s a new chapter for him beginning with the Los Angeles Lakers, but it’s still very interesting to look back at how things went badly for him on a team that believed a bit too much in the “genius” of Daryl Morey, only to be left with James Harden, Dwight Howard, Kevin McHale and currently being very far from the contender status they were hoping for.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Needs a Change, James Harden Needs to Change
The season is over way too early for the Houston Rockets who have themselves a head coach in Kevin McHale who really doesn’t know how to make all the moving parts of James Harden, Jeremy Lin and Dwight Howard work together, preferring to simply wing it and let his star nearly decimate an entire series on his own than try and teach this team some actual offense and defense that would have gotten them through.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Teaching Winning Basketball to James Harden
The simple fact? If there was no Jeremy Lin in game 5 for the Houston Rockets against the Portland Trail Blazers, they’d be out of the playoffs.
