The rockets with the drunk at the Nuggets

starting in a few minutes, Chandler is out for the year, Joffrey is a GTD, and Nurkic appears to still be out.

Nuggets putting in a strong effort against a clearly "superior" team (sarcasm), leading from the start. The "drunk" putting in another "top 5" effort for his new team (more sarcasm). We'll see how this one ends, but still a strong effort going on.

Unforced turnovers keeping the Rockets in the game

Will Barton came to make WAR....duels down Harden, scoring 25pts off the bench. Looking like HE's the prize in the AA deal.

Two SOLID wins over HOU, either they are looking to be over-rated or perhaps, we are a tad under-rated !!

Good game, I do not know how Malone can get these guys to keep winning with Hickson and Foye getting so many minutes, especially Hickson at center. Mudiay got a little sloppy when they started pressuring him, but he seemed to handle it better as the game went on.

Hickson has been surprisingly decent though. I'm not sure what Malone did with the old Hickson, but this new guy seems to actually be trying on defense, and he's clearly got the best pick n roll chemistry with Mudiay.

This was a big win. A rough game for Mudiay and the bizarre officiating makes it even more impressive. Barton has been awesome and Gallo seems to be finding his rhythm. The B2B in Phoenix tonight will be a good test.

Dear Nuggets Board,

Was Lawson like this last year?
I have to say I thought we'd gotten better, but, I .. I never saw this coming.

Lawson had his good and his bad night last year. Some nights he was dominant, other nights he was almost invisible. One issue that the Rockets are having is that even on his good nights he barely is touching the ball, so it is hard to see him having much positive effect. I thought Lawson and Harden would work pretty well together at times and am surprised how bad they have looked together.
