Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Seeing James Harden & Dwight Howard Doing Well Without Him
Initially, with Jeremy Lin out of the picture due to his ankle injury, the Houston Rockets looked disorganized and selfish. But since the return of Chandler Parsons, things have been looking better.

Michael Carter-Williams & Victor Oladipo With the Double Rookie Triple-Double
Both the Philadelphia 76ers and the Orlando Magic aren’t going to win the NBA title, and probably not reach the playoffs, although you never know in the super weak Eastern conference. However, while they stride towards a lottery pick, the least they can do is entertain. If seeing a 126-125 win for the Sixers in double overtime isn’t enough, we also got to see, for the first time ever, two rookies on opposite sides of the ball, Victor Oladipo and Michael Carter-Williams, recording triple doubles in the same game.

The Worst NBA Teammate – Rajon Rondo or Dwight Howard?
With ESPN filling up with polls and surveys heading into the new NBA season, one question, a very important one, has been forgotten along the way – who is the worst teammate in the league. While it’s a hard thing to measure, there’s a good chance it comes down to either Rajon Rondo or Dwight Howard.

Someone Should Tell Dwight Howard to Stop Talking
By his own fault or someone else’s, the last two years haven’t done a world of good to Dwight Howard in terms of his perception among the common man and NBA fans. His most recent comments, suggesting his number with the Orlando Magic should have been retired, once again pulls the focus away from his basketball talents to his slightly fragile ego, and how that might be a problem for the Houston Rockets down the line.

NBA Rumors – Orlando Magic Close to Getting Rid of Hedo Turkoglu

NBA Rumors – Orlando Magic Might Buyout Hedo Turkoglu
It’s hard to say Hedo Turkoglu actually played for the Orlando Magic last season, and in general, his second tenure with the team has been forgettable at best.
