As I suspected would happen, the January dog days bit the Rockets hard. Two more road games after the Celtics before the schedule turns favorable. Based on how raggedly they played against the Bucks and Celts, going home may not solve their problems. Hopefully this doesn't drag on until the ASB. This happens every season to good and bad teams. The Raptors are slumping badly. Even the Cavs have lost 6 of 8. Tough time of the year.
This team has the same problems year after year. No heart, no defense, no leadership, no clutch. Harden is a good player but not a leader. He's the same kind of player that Howard is. Another season destined to failure.
