    Yeah, I know, I keep telling Rockets' fans that rather have boring games than to see the Rockets losing to bad teams they supposed to beat. The Hornets are not bad, but the Rockets are better and supposed to beat them.

    STFU about Harden. Yes, he was chasing the triple double and it let them back into the game but we ultimately won and he finished with 40/15/10. He's the MVP.

    Hell yeah, brewer has been balling. He's not trying to do so much on offense like last year. He's just playing within himself. He was already fast and now he uses his speed while making the extra pass on breaks. Good for him.

    I did't watch this game but was looking at scoreboard all the way until the 4th. Did the Rockets lose the lead in the 4th quarter?

    He kind of was. Gave up shots for passes. Once he had it, he was back to normal.

    Harden out here chasing stats. During the Hornets 21-2 Q4 run he was passing up shots trying to get his last assist for a trip dub. He even passed up an open layup IIRC. Fighting with teammates for boards (last 2) and a chance to get fouled (last 2 points) in the closing seconds so you can get another 40/15 night looks bad too.

    I mean, there were a few possessions where Harden was looking more to pass than to score, but it wasn't the reason they got back into the game. Hornets got back into the game with incredible 3 PT shooting, and letting them score 30 points in the quarter.

    The Rockets lose a reliable option with Eric Gordon, and a solid defense presence with Capela out. The truth is the Rockets team do not have a lot of individual talent and thus is very reliant on Harden when things are not going their way with these two out.

    Gotta give credit to the Hornets too, Batum & Zeller out & they were relentless, hit some crazy shots.

    They didn't make it easy for Kemba at all & he still played like an all star.
