Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin is Much More Than a Role Player
One postseason in which he wasn’t at his healthiest, and people are treating Jeremy Lin like a marginal player who should be sitting at the end of the bench. True, he isn’t James Harden and never will be, but the Houston Rockets have a very good point guard on their hands that they will benefit greatly from if they forget about trading him and push towards making him feel more comfortable on the court.

Houston Rockets – Dwight Howard & James Harden are a Champions Caliber Superstar Duo
While the Houston Rockets don’t have a third superstar to add to their high profile duo of Dwight Howard and James Harden (Chandler Parsons and Jeremy Lin aren’t that kind of player), if everything does fall into place next season, there’s no denying this is a good enough team to challenge for the NBA title.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Between Overrated & Underrated Limbo
The Houston Rockets have two much bigger superstars in terms of their importance on the court than Jeremy Lin, yet the three-year veteran continues to be a cause of much debate, and continuously be one of the players that walk the thin line between being overrated and underrated at the same time.

Houston Rockets – James Harden Will Thrive Next to Dwight Howard
Even as the best center in the NBA, Dwight Howard isn’t the kind of player who does well in any situation, with last season as a perfect example for the wrong scenario for him. With the Houston Rockets, a team with shooters and a co-star (maybe even bigger) in James Harden, things should go back to normal for Howard.

Houston Rockets – James Harden & Even Jeremy Lin Shouldn’t Be Forgotten Because of Dwight Howard
There’s no doubt that the arrival of Dwight Howard to the Houston Rockets is the biggest move of this offseason, but it doesn’t mean that what stood at the basis of the enthusiasm from last year’s team, which was mainly the arrival of James Harden and a bit earlier than that, Jeremy Lin, without forgetting about Omer Asik and Chandler Parsons as well, won’t be as important as it was last season.

Houston Rockets – Dwight Howard & James Harden a Championship Caliber Duo?
As we’ve seen in the NBA finals for the last three years, it’s not only about having a top-heavy roster, but having the right kind of players around them in order to win a championship, which automatically puts a lot of questions marks around the new superstar tandem created by the Houston Rockets with Dwight Howard and James Harden.

NBA Rumors – Houston Rockets Using Chandler Parsons to Get Dwight Howard
NBA players with the same agent can often strike some sort of social bond, and it seems the Houston Rockets are trying to use the connection between Chandler Parsons and Dwight Howard in order to get the free agent center, currently contemplating between staying with the Los Angeles Lakers or leaving to a team with a better shot and a better situation for him next season.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin & James Harden Fail When it Matters the Most
Young teams need to go through growing pains, and losing in the first round of a postseason series qualifies as just that. Jeremy Lin shouldn’t have played but did, becoming possibly the least valuable player of the series, while James Harden refused to learn from the lessons of a previous game, trying to shoot his way out of trouble instead of slow down, stop and think, which might have led to better results.

Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin & James Harden Forgotten by Chandler Parsons
With no Jeremy Lin, the stage was set for James Harden to do whatever he wants, only to be thwarted again and again by a prepared Oklahoma City Thunder defense.
