My heart is heavy after the Rockets lost to the Hornets tonight.
Despite stats that may be mistaken for an okay game, Lin was especially out of sync in the game. High turnovers (again), missed threes (1-4), and was blocked four times. I can’t bring myself to talk about his 9 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 5 steals (YAY). He did have a nifty sidestep layup in the first quarter. PEEP IT.
The Hornets seem to do a number on the Rockets defensively – for whatever reason, they’re able to effectively stymie their offense. 79 points from a team that averages 106? I’m going to sleep.
