Excerpt:

The Rockets' winning streak started with a Dec. 17 victory in New York over the Knicks. The return of Linsanity to Madison Square Garden spurred the Rockets to a Wednesday drubbing of the Philadelphia 76ers, 125-103. On Saturday, the Rockets looked spectacular in a home win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Houston scored 30 points off 19 Memphis turnovers and seven Rockets scored in double-figures. "I think there's always steps you're taking and I think we're taking some steps," said Rockets coach Kevin McHale. "There will be some steps backward at some point. We have to be better two weeks from now, than we are today." James Harden led the way against the Grizzlies with 31 points and eight assists. He shot 9-for-13 and a perfect 2-for-2 from long distance. Jeremy Lin netted 15 points and handed out 11 assists. That's a pretty spectacular night from the Houston backcourt.

Our energy was bad, and we settled for too many shots early in the clock. When you're tired, sometimes you just have to move the ball around, and we didn't do that."

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
