Rockets play like a different team at home, defensive intensity is there, sadly, on the road it is not. We've only played 3 home games this season so far (thanks stern) and we are 2-1, beating the spurs who are currently leading the division, and the hawks who are also a top 4 team in the east. We lost by 3 points against the Thunder without our best player. If we can play with the same effort as the 3 games we have already played, we are probably going to be 20-13 or better at home this year.
And 0 for however many games there are on the road. Although that makes scheduling time for Rockets games easier. It's a 33 game season for me!
