- Final note: I mentioned before the game started that Jeremy Lin has an excellent chance of taking home Western Conference Player of the Week honors. He recorded a tidy 16 points to go along with 7 assists and 4 rebounds this evening, bringing his weekly averages to 25.5 points per game built upon 52.4 percent shooting from the field and 45 percent shooting from beyond the arc. He also compiled 5.75 assists and 4.75 rebounds per game while helping his team to a 3-1 record. He’s definitely got a very legit shot.
In fact, his fiercest competition may very well come from one of his teammates. James Harden only played three games (all Rockets wins) so that might be taken into consideration, but his numbers look awfully good, too: 26.3 points, 7 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game, while shooting 40.4 percent from the floor and 33.3 percent from downtown. The two Kevins (Durant and Love) figure to be in the mix as well, but their teams each went 2-2 this week, for what it's worth.
We’ll find out the results Monday morning, then Tuesday finds the Rockets back in action when the Boston Celtics come to town. See you then.
