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.
Jeremy Lin's back in town, while Carmelo Anthony sits out for tonight's big game as the man who created "Linsanity" in the Big Apple last season returns to New York tonight when the Rockets take on the Eastern Conference leading New York Knicks.
It wasn't tool long ago that Jeremy Lin told ESPN that he would one day be an NBA All-Star.
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.
Jeremy Lin has already taken his act to--and from--Broadway...and now it looks like Linsanity is coming to the Big Screen.
For the Houston Rockets, Tuesday's narrow 107-105 victory over the talent-littered Los Angeles Lakers was an unlikely win led by sizzling play from a Houston point guard.
