Rockets went in Wednesday’s night’s game without the assistance
of All Star guard James Harden who sat with foot issues. The Rockets also
decided to scrap the so called “Twin Towers” lineup of Dwight Howard and Omer Asik.
Head coach instead of going big, went small with the two guard lineup of Patrick
Beverley and Jeremy Lin also starting Terrence Jones at power forward.
The big complaint since the start of the season has been the
Rockets only play a few quarters a game, tonight the Rockets picked the 1st
and 3rd quarters too show up to the game. The Rockets with Harden
out got major help from Jeremy Lin who went off tonight. Lin made 9 3pointers
tonight and finished with 34 points. Lin was a key component in the Rockets
gaining a 10 point advantage heading in to the 4th quarter. The
Rockets played a decent game but just were not able to stop ex Rocket James
Anderson who had 36 points, and was very efficient going 12 for 16 from the
floor and 6 of 8 from the 3, including the one that sent the 76ers into overtime.
The Rockets ended up losing in single overtime to the Rockets of the east 123
to 117.
Jeremy Lin in the last two games has been on fire and been
gold for the Rockets, Lin has played 95 minutes in the past two games and
picked up 65 points in the past two games. Look for the Rockets to lean hard on
Jeremy Lin tomorrow as the Rockets head back to the place from Jeremy Lin
became a star…. NEW YORK CITY!
