    I wish I could say the same. What worries me is that they only had 4 TOs in the first half. That's terrific, but we know the Rockets won't sustain that.

    me either.

    it took a heroic performance out of brian roberts to keep them in the game.

    will brian roberts be able to keep up this pace all game? my guess is he gets some extra attention from the rockets D and the hornets have trouble finding enough points to keep up in the second half.

    This. And He's destroying our offense spacing. If he sets a screen His man will double the ball handler. So what is his purpose. No Defense/NO OFFENSE/NO REBOUNDING/Too Small/ No Rim Protection/ Low Basketball IQ after playing Pro basketball all this ****ing time. Its like he's still that rookie from the first time.

    Sure. I also don't believe the Hornets will keep hitting this many threes. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just have no worries right now.

    No Big Al, no Zeller, no MKG, no Mo Williams, no Stephenson

    The Spurs would be up like 50 at this point:(

    Joey Dorsey is the worst player that gets any playing time in the NBA. He is short, dumb, and has ZERO skill! I urge anybody to find a WORST player. You can't. There might be some guys that suck more but you don't know because they never get any burn.

    Hey, last year the Rockets were at home with against a Pelicans team without pretty much all of their top players and had to mount a huge comeback in the 4th in order to pull out a squeaker. And homecourt was on the line in that one. I was at that game and it was painful to watch til there were maybe 4-5 minutes left.

    If McHale wants to gain respect.. I see him playing Capela almost the entire 3rd.

    Its embarrassing that he plays for our team and he has a GUARANTEED Contract. Morey won't be able to trade him.

    this is terrible and should be discussed more on the board...

    the whole team talks about how much momentum and readiness they need to have before going into the playoffs...well then...where is it?

    you've got another game coming up and you control your own destiny, yet you don't play like it...

    I don't understand. It sucks to see this team upend expectations throughout the season, but can't deliver now when it counts.

    Watch. It's gonna be the same story as years' past. Having excuses and just not doing.

    Hang in there, we just gotta hope our coach understands that when a lineup is working , let them play. The starters didn't deserve to come back so early(they digged the hole in the first place).
