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.

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.

Of course, as soon as I say that, they go and lose 5 in a row... I asked a super-computer yesterday to analyse why the Lakers suck and it exploded due to logic error.

Lakers lose 9 of last 11 games. Can they still make the PO?

The loss to the Bulls makes Kobe explode.

Pau Gasol on the bench replaced by Earl Clarke.
Dwight only getting 8 points and 9 rebounds as an all-star starting center for the West.
Bulls winning without its two leading scorers, Deng and Rose.

Ohh man dont even mention about PHX, they are in such turmoil atm, even the Lakers season seem better.

Gentry fired, one bad management after another, Dan 'Thunder" Majerle walking out on his assistant role, Jermaine O'neal fighting with GM.

Memphis already pulled the trigger on the trades, opting to keep Rudy Gay for the PO run. Many more trades to be had, especially with Minnesota cos they they need to address their injury woes and trying to make the PO to keep Kevin Love happy.
