The hustle and all that has been the same as day 1 with T-Mac in the lineup. The difference has been execution...players are hitting their open shots, the team is making hard cuts off ball, and they are running the offense.
Tmac's attitude dragged the team a bit. He is the leader of the team, and when he broke down, everybody lost some winning spirit. When your team depends too much on one guy and that guy is playing with a injury, your team's not going to win. When he decides to sit out, the Rockets picked it up because they are more focused on winning. Fortunately we have a easy schedule and the rest of the players steped to take control.
