They gotta get over this home drought, and the low point of a roller coaster outside of the Minnesota win.

Man, after this first half, I decided to watch the end of the game, and I didn't expect to see HOU leading at 126-121...
24s left and 126-124 now, thanks to a good challenge by Nate on a Collins charge that was not one

Lost game, a 25-44 4th quarter nightmare, once again.
Without any disrespect on these three guys, ATL got destroyed by HOU bench, Augustin, Sengun and Nwaba? And Gordon being Gordon

The way HOU played these last games, Nate was knowing to not play them like it's an win. How is that possible to get such horrible 4th quarter.
I think I will replay of the last games 4th quarters tomorrow to try to understand more, it can't hurt more than now :wink:
