Despite another heartbreaking loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, the Houston Rockets (16-13) are still on a roll, their backcourt tandem of James Harden and Jeremy Lin still firing on all cylinders as the team has rattled off seven win out of 10 games in a testing and tough two-week schedule thus far.
Jeremy Lin: NBA All-Star. Those five words might be closer to reality than people think.
The last time the Houston Rockets and the San Antonio Spurs met on Dec. 10, the game saw a moment of "Linsanity" from Jeremy Lin, a historic first-ever triple-double from Tony Parker and a heart-stopping, high-scoring shootout that went into overtime in a 134-126 win for the Spurs.
For Jeremy Lin, James Harden and the Houston Rockets, all they want for Christmas is four straight wins.
When Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey scored two coups prior to the kickoff of the NBA 2012-13 regular season, stealing overnight star Jeremy Lin from New York and arranging a trade that landed Oklahoma City's NBA Sixth Man of the Year James Harden in Houston, it was with the expectation that these two young studs would power the Rockets into playoff contenders in the West for years to come.
Two nights removed from their epic win against the Eastern-Conference leading New York Knicks, 109-96, Jeremy Lin, James Harden and the Houston Rockets are looking to keep that momentum going tonight in Houston
Tuesday's 109-96 win for the Houston Rockets against arguably the best team in the East, the New York Knicks, was monumental for the young Houston franchise for a variety of reasons.
The more lineups change, the more things remain the same--and that's not necessarily a good thing if you're a Houston Rockets fan.
In hindsight, we all probably should have seen this coming.
Jeremy Lin almost caught a bad break at a most inopportune time.
Nearly five months after signing for three years and $25 million after his sensational winter in New York, "Linsanity" finally touched down in Houston.
All in all, it was just not a good night for the Houston Rockets (9-9) Friday night.
Fresh off their stunning 107-205 Tuesday win over the Los Angeles Lakers, James Harden, Jeremy Lin and the Houston Rockets (9-8) look to extend their two-game winning streak to three in a row.
It's been hard to get a read on these Houston Rockets, even after more than a month of NBA regular season play.
