I think you're right. The Hornets have the more difficult schedule and at this point are more likely to fall... but unfortunately Rockets have to be near perfect from here on out.
When Bud was hot from the arc he wasnt attacking the rim. Now he attacks the rim but he is cold from the arc. The only way Bud gets to the rim is from a pass near top of the key then he curls around and just drives. I would like to see him take guys on by himself from the dribble, from the baseline too and not just top of the key.
