    I am amazed Bev actually helped us win a game by scoring.
    McHale has put a leash on Lin the last 3 games Harden plays PG and has averaged like 43 minutes in the last 2 games. Lin rarely touches the ball.
    You see an increase in Bev handling the ball the last 3 games which is why his TO's are up.
    between Harden and Bev always handling the ball Lin barely touches it.
    Odd McHale love Bev/Lin but barely used it the last 2 games
    Good team win now the team we hate Sac

    So what if Dragic made that shot? You think we would have lost the game?

    I'm sure in their own crazy world they somehow think that the Rockets doing good without Lin is their way of being spiteful against him? But let's just enjoy that we got the win against a quality opponent. We also showed that we can bounce back against hard losses to get a much needed win.

    Huge win! Pat was just awful in the 2nd and 3rd quarters but as was many Rockets he was huge in the 1st and 4th quarters.

    Be honest, how many people were reaching for the hard liquor when the Rockets passed the ball in to DMo and he had to shoot the 2 free throws? Those were the biggest free throw shots of his career and he hit nothing but net on both shots. Big time clutch.

    Lin's 2 points made the difference in the game otherwise overtime lol he was 1-6 shooting 6 assists and 3 rebounds that is so much better than Beverley who had 20 points 3 rebounds and 3 assists... Lin fans know this!

    Rockets have the BEST RECORD IN THE ENTIRE NBA in the last ten games: 9-1.

    Yea. I've mentioned Bev having a new career high in pts in a team win only a couple of times and provided the stats. No one seems to want to celebrate it. Too busy trolling Lin fans.

    Not going to lie, walked into the kitchen just to miss watching the first one. Too much for me to handle.

    No man, Lin fans believe Bev has great games based only on stats.

    Lin fans look at the stats only.

    I actually watch the players game play. The stats mean NOTHING to me. Not even an individual's turnovers stat mean much to me.

    It seems many people have ignored Harden being super clutch in the 4th. We wouldn't have gotten back in the last 3 games we won without him!

    Uh, yes. He sucks. He is the ABSOLUTE WORST PLAYER IN THE NBA in terms of consistency. What's your point?

    This win also gives us the tie breaker over the Suns.

    I hope this game thread doesn't descend into a Lin flame war like usual. Who we should really be talking about is Bev, who had some sensational moments down the stretch

    Bev got brass balls. Love his fearlessness!

    Beverley's 3 helps Rockets down Suns 115-112

    20 PTS/3 RBD/3 ST/3 AST

    This is why he starts, not just "because of his defense".
