I've got a feeling that the Rockets are in for a tough one tonight. Has there been any confirmation on Splash Gordon's status? I hadn't heard anything, so I was surprised to read that there may be an issue with his toe.

Go Rockets!

I'd like to see the Rockets come out strong in this one. They've struggled with that the past few games. Don't want to play from behind.

No Gordon tonight.

Whaaaat? No Gordon?

Damn. I didn't even know he was hurt, that sucks. I'm guessing it's nothing serious and more a precaution but who will step up on the bench in his absence?

Sprained big toe, might miss tomorrow too but probably nothing to be concerned about long term.

Looks like Dekker is getting Gordon's minutes. Doesn't look to comfortable at 2. Dropping passes and missed 2 dunks already

After a couple hard fought games it's nice to have a laugher

The rockets last 2 min action has been great so far.
However, losing a big lead regularly is not good. Hope they don't let it be an habit.

It seem Harden is trying to get his triple double (looking for the 10th assist) in this game and the Hornets went on the run in the 4th. Does anyone think that way?

Luckily Harden did get his triple double and a 40-10-10 type on consecutive game.
