    Gordon has had the knee issues, so I get wanting to rest him on a B2B. But when you're clinging for dear life to the 3rd seed with 11 games to go, you don't have the luxury of sitting key guys like this. They need to play everyone the next 4 games. If D'Antoni wants to rest players in that home game against the Kings, so be it. Same with the Knicks and Suns(although even that's risky after what happened last Friday). Otherwise though, if guys are healthy, they need to play.

    No excuse to lose event with Gordon out. Rockets continue to struggle to stay focused consistently

    2nd seed would be 1st seed within range. Would have been too much of an assignment.

    We thought we had depth with Rivers, Faried, Shump but the honeymoon phase is over.

    We are playing smooth recently.

    This offense will only be fully realized when elite 3 point shooters are sought out.

    As soon as I saw Shump starting.... I got worried.... Hopefully our coach sees that he should never do that again. House should have started.

    Back to back, on the road. Not really too mad at this game. Maybe the Rockets are just tired. Grizzlies are playing a good game at home.
