Rockets@Hornets

Hornets seem to have fun with a 20-0 lead going into 7 minutes of the first quarter.

i can see another player meeting incoming for rockets.

This game proves Russ has been carrying the shit outta Harden the last few months

[insidehoops]

Still don't know what to make of the Rockets in terms of being a playoff team, as far as getting past the first round or not.

They're both capable of doing the carrying; still wonder when they'll do it at the same time.

I just don't see how they can challenge in the playoffs.

Their game style is just not sustainable in a 7 game series.

They got to go through Gobert, Jokic, and the Lakers front court of LeBron, AD, Dwight and McGee...

For 7 straight games.

They are doomed imho.

Nice quad double Harden

[NuggetsFan01]

Rockets need to do defense. Does anyone agree?

[Axe]

Oh goodie. I thought the hornets will choke their own lead for good, since the rockets had catched up in the second quarter. And while he was absent in this game, why did management decided to let russ play in every other game again?

I didn't watch it because I only watch their games when Russ plays. But it doesn't look like Harden is doing well in the small ball scheme. He needs a big man to rim-run, or maybe he's still adjusting to it, I dunno. Read the rockets sub, they were killing Harden and how disinterested he looked. That's 1 of the things I hate about him, he can check out real quick. Say what you want about Russ, he might chuck his team out of the game but he puts it all out there. You saw it in the Clippers game, they were down 20 and he was diving and hustling for loose balls. I wanna see him get to the 2nd round and beyond man... it's been like 4 years already.

So the rockets are now seeing the after effects of trading clint capela away but maybe they could have kept him if not for his long injury.

Rockets traded Paul, two first round picks in 2024 and 2026 and swaps in 2021 and 2025 and are on the brink of being WORST than the Thunder right now. The Point God >>>>>>>>> Westbrick. I would love to see them match up in the first round. It would be so epic and hilarious to watch the Point God led Thunder upset and dispose of the Rockets. :lol We'd probably never see Loney for 2-3 years if this happened. :oldlol:

Damn, so james harden did average a quadruple double for the first time since 2017.

I would love to see the matchup too, just so you could disappear. Face it, they traded Chris Paul because he gave up in the Warriors series. Sorry, it ain't 2018 anymore when he supposedly carried the Rockets over the Warriors. I think Paul just gave up another offensive rebound to some random scrub on the Warriors :oldlol:
