very important stretch for Houston Rockets

Rockets will have a back to back , alternating between bottom feeder Nets and top seed Spurs.  Then  Jazz, Suns and Warriors. This stretch will determines the fates of Rockets two centers. Omer Asik and Dwight Howard.
1. Is Asik too important for Rockets?
2.Can Howard  Handle reduced playing time, barely touching 30 minutes in some nights
The second will be elaborated further.
1.Howard will be a victim of his own succes. He is a very big bruiser,  guarding him wears out any center in the league.
2. Most teams have rookies/ old veterans as back ups
3.Current rotation  benefit Asik greatly, because he starts the fourth quarter, facing either  worn out starters or overmatched back ups
4.Don't forget how good Asik is. Last year he was able to suffocate  Tim Duncan and  Andrew Bogut

Question is, can Asik take advantage of the situation. Playing 100% to show Mchale he needs to be on the floor. Can he find his rhythm  against bottom feeders Nets and Jazz and this very important show that he is very important to defeat Spurs and Warriors, two teams that will block path to finals

Omer Asik is Outsmarting darryl Morey

I believe Morey wants to use  Asik as a trade bait for 2014 FA, and  using Asik as a back up until then. In other word,  Asik in danger of spending 2013-2014 as a back up. well, He outsamarted Dork Elvis by  constantly demanding to be traded. This lowered Morey's bargaining position vis a vis other GM, forcing him  to settle for less

Sacramento Kings VS Phoenix Suns

Masoon Plumlee is a Rookie, who has to face DMC.  Eric Bledsoe is good starter, but super sub Isaiah Thomas always lit up second half.
prediction  Sacramento Kings win this one

Houston Rockets vs Boston Celtics

faverani seems to have good size and he is a good shootblocker. I know that Olynyk is Dmoish, weighting 234 lbs at 7-0. Kim Kardashian’s hump is 6-10. anyway beyond Dwight Howard Rockets’s frontcourt can also be considered small, hope Asik willbring his A game tonight

"They averaged 23.3 assists during their win streak but are at 15.3 during the three-game losing streak"

That’s a quote from celtics sb nation. that anomaly makes me believe that Rockets will win tonght

LA Lakers Review

Have you watched the children TV Show Timmy Time? because the show really describes Lakers.
It might sound funny, but beware. a group children can confuse and tire adults because they are so many of them, and they have energy to run around.
Steve Nash is the wise old headmaster while Gasol is the teacher who wants to keep up with his students but his legs betray him

Houston Rockets Vs Denver Nuggets Preview

1.Kenneth Faried is the key, if he can keep D12  away from the glass and get offensive rebounds, the balance of the game will tilt to nuggets' favour
2.D12 is a containable post player,  brian shaw must take risk by not double teaming him
3.Nate Robinson can burn Rockets from the perimeter

Houston Rocket's pounding basketball

There is a reason  why Rocket  has  an ability to coming from behind and somehow  got double digit win. It's the ability of the two towers to deliver  48 minutes punishment to opposing front court. Mchale has peculiar rotation in the end of third quarter and the start of the fourth.
Instead of  going with the relatively better player in Howard,  Mchale goes with Asik. Opposing coach has 2 options.first option put  a back up center and watch Asik eat him  alive. Second  option  stick with the starting center to fight toe to toe with Asik.  Here is the catch, a relatively  fresh Dwight Howard will check in for Omer Asik and dominate. the opposin center will think " I can handle Asik" then  Howard comes in "you got to be joking".
It's like how lions hunt. The pack  attack  its prey until  the prey is dying, then  the alpha male  come in for the kill. Watching Rockets is still like year. Harden-asik's screen combo  to hold the lead,/ dig Rocket out of hole .  It's like  Howard is a mega sub.  Iwith this rotation  Howard is in for a career year, so is Asik if he  can average 30 minutes.

Houston Rockets @ Los Angeles Clippers

I prefer Asik on Griffin and Dwight on Deandre Jordan because :
1. Last season Asik was successful in stopping griffin, forcing him to shot jumpers
2.Dwight has more athleticism to intercept lob pass to Jordan
X factor Ryan Hollins & Byron Mullens
 -If TT can force Doc Rivers to go small, Asik must dominate hollins to force Doc to keep Jordan on the floor all time. Then a relatively fresh Howard enters the game to dominate Jordan.
-I once watch Mullens got hot from land of three,……
about twins towers
-There is a pattern, early in the game, opponent can easily snatch offensive rebounds because of miscommunication between Howard and Asik ( none of them box out the rebounder
-Asik must learn by now that he has to be more careful when setting screens, no more silly early foul
-Howard and Asik must hit their free throws so that rockets can do hack a jordan effectively if needed
