Rockets being patient while still trying to find groove

Seven games into the season, the Rockets are still making chemistry an emphasis.

With so many new players trying to gel, the team is going to keep that high on the priority list.

“It takes time,” center Dwight Howard said. “It takes time to see things on the floor together. A lot of teams we have played have been together a couple years and they have that chemistry already. That is something we have to get as quick as possible.”

Guard Jeremy Lin said he thinks the Rockets are making progress on that front and hopes they can continue to at a rapid pace.

“Everything is still evolving,” Lin said. “We are still learning, even just getting used to Dwight and what he is capable of and how he likes to play and even having him and Omer (Asik) at the same time. There is a lot of change and a lot of different lineups so we have to figure it all out really fast.”
