@  2016Champions : (23 May 2013 - 04:00 AM) Melo: "Why couldn't Vogel sub Hibbert out game 6?"
@  BenQueens : (23 May 2013 - 03:54 AM) The overhead shot of that play is amazing. He read where George was going perfectly.
@  2016Champions : (23 May 2013 - 03:53 AM) Frank Vogel is going to answer for his decision to bench Hibbert during this moments
@  RollingWave : (23 May 2013 - 03:53 AM) Lebron James should be playing at a higher league
@  2016Champions : (23 May 2013 - 03:52 AM) He just makes it look so easy.
@  BenQueens : (23 May 2013 - 03:51 AM) Hibbert shaking his head right there- that's brutal.
@  2016Champions : (23 May 2013 - 03:50 AM) Are you serious Lebron?!!! wow!!
@  BenQueens : (23 May 2013 - 03:50 AM) Wow.
@  2016Champions : (23 May 2013 - 03:49 AM) lol
@  BenQueens : (23 May 2013 - 03:48 AM) You know that Gatorade commercial where D Wade wakes up in a cold sweat from a nightmare? I guess Paul George is in the sequel.

@  2016Champions : (23 May 2013 - 03:42 AM) Chris Bosh: "I don't usually grab rebounds but when I do... it's a HUGE offensive putback 3 point play"
@  RollingWave : (23 May 2013 - 03:21 AM) Paul effing George!!!!!!!
@  BenQueens : (23 May 2013 - 02:15 AM) It's still jarring to see elite teams like MIA and SAS completely ignoring offensive rebounds.
@  BenQueens : (23 May 2013 - 02:04 AM) Haslem really knows how to blow a layup.

What stood out the most to me was that the Rockets actually ran a team offense for a change.
The ball moved,people were cutting,it was nice to see.
Previous games have seen Harden bringing up the ball and doing everything on his own,and when that wasn't working it would be Lin's turn to do the same.

I wonder if we're seeing Sampson's college roots showing as the Rockets have basically been running the college dribble-drive offense where the PG does everything. W/Harden in the PG role and the rest of the Rockets spacing the floor.(Prob why Morris was/is getting so much run at PF,he was making 3s.)
It'll be interesting to see what happens when McHale comes back-he certainly pick-n-rolls and the three wing weave and not so iso-heavy.

Was it just me or last night Lin was the PG and Harden the SG? I mean....Lin had the ball much more than Harden, which is a good thing. Harden is a good option at ball-handling, but he shouldn't be the primary one, otherwise, he loses efectiveness.

Lin seemed to have the ball much more in his hands than he did in previous games. I don't know if part of this was because they would double Harden immediately when he'd make the catch.

Lin was more of a traditional PG. He was actually bringing the ball up the court where in previous games Harden would be the one bringing it up.

I'm shocked at how good our offensive has played the last couple of weeks. If you had told me at the beginning of the season that our starting front court averaged a combined 40 points per game, I wouldn't have believed you. With Lin coming around, I'm optimistic that the Rockets will make the playoffs.

It's nice to have a starting C that is averaging 11 pts, 12 rebounds. How about Patterson's numbers from the last 10 games? (via ESPN)
MPG: 30.9
FG%: .550
RPG: 5.6
APG: 0.8
BLKPG: 0.7
STPG: 0.6
PFPG: 2.1
PPG: 17.0

He's averaging 23 ppg in the last 3 games. He could probably stand to foul a bit more, eh?
