The Warriors are sneaky good. I think they might make some noise even without Bogut, but he would make them even better assuming he got his form back from before he mangled his arm/wrist on that crazy fall.

And the Lakers lose AGAIN!!! This time to the Cavs! Oh man that is so good, love watching the Lakers get dropped. Looks like they'll be replacing the coach soon...

Lakers have been playing a bit better recently though and with Steve Nash finally back from injury they should be a tough team to beat from here on out.

If Derrick Rose can return from his ACL injury before the playoffs begin (which he's on track to do so if you believe the reports), the Bulls suddenly become title contenders because look at them; 15-11 without their star player? The Bulls are a good team that will become great if and when Rose gets back.

Interesting stat: James Harden leads the league in free throw attempts and free throws made this season...

Well what would you expect, he attacks the rim hard, and with such a bigger role in Houston of course he;d get the ball more and attack the rim more!!

Read a good interview with Darryl Morey their GM the other day and he said that's one thing he thinks is the most valuable skill in the NBA and that's why he went after Lin & Harden. The stats seem to be backing it up at the minute as well.

Yeah but I think the rockets should give Lin more time as the ball handler, because that's where he excels !

Harden excels in the same roll and is a better overall player that's why he gets more of the ball. It does seem that they are getting better at playing together as the season goes on though which is a very good sign for the Rockets. Bodes well for the future that's for sure

Your forgot their most underrated player Patrick Patterson!
Future definitely looks bright for the rockets.

They got Harden for 5 years + this season is 6 seasons. They still have some time to build a team for him.
They got Lin for 3 years
Asik for 3 years
Patterson for another 3 years before they have to pay him big bucks.
Parsons 3 years for less then a mil per year. But they will probably pay him more next season.
The twin Marcus Morris for 4 years on a cheap salary as well.

All they need is another all star to compliment Harden, maybe a big like Josh Smith or something.

PG Lin
SG Harden
SF Patterson
PF Josh Smith
C Asik

bench : Parsons, Delfino, Douglas, Morris and a few rookies here and there.

Patterson was starting at PF with Parsons but is now been relegated in favour of Morris. There a really good read on how effective the Lin, Harden, Parson, Morris, Asik lineup as been here

http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/8823509/the-houston-r...

Here's the main bit on your boy Patterson

Morris is taking Patrick Patterson's presumed spot, and this starting group has functioned much better with him there. They're outscoring opponents by nearly five points per 100 possessions, while the Patterson lineup is struggling on both ends with a scoring differential of -5.6 per 100 possessions.
