Houston Rockets – James Harden Needs Jeremy Lin to Stop Him
There are plenty of reasons the Houston Rockets picked up an embarrassing and needless loss to the Los Angeles Lakers: Dwight Howard unable to convert shots from the line, Patrick Beverley starting for Jeremy Lin, terrible defense early on in the game, and James Harden not knowing when to stop thinking only about scoring on his own.

Lakers vs Rockets – Steve Blake Makes the Most of Hack-a-Dwight
A weird game, especially when this version of the Los Angeles Lakers manages to come up with a win against one of the supposedly better teams in the NBA. Resorting to dirty tactics, which means fouling Dwight Howard in embarrassing ways, and one big shot from Steve Blake, were enough to pull off one of the biggest upsets early in this NBA season.

Oklahoma City Thunder – Serge Ibaka Finally Stops Missing Shots
Much has been said about the Oklahoma City Thunder deciding to trade James Harden in order to avoid the luxury tax and give Serge Ibaka the big contract extension. After a rough start to this season, many fingers were pointed at the big man’s inability to become a trustworthy third scorer next to Kevin Durant. However, the return of Russell Westbrook from injury, looking like he hasn’t been gone at all, has brought Ibaka back to a more pleasing form, hopefully a sustainable one as well.
