    Ditto. And on a second night of a back-to-back.

    This team showed some serious grit tonight.

    Hornets #1 clutch team loses double digit lead to Houston worst clutch team at New Orleans.

    This is the Rockets brand of basketball that we played when we got the 20+ win streak. Now that we know Rox can play solid D, can they do this over the entire game?

    Hayes will be guarding Aldridge next game. I'm pretty sure that Portland is going to kill us on the boards.

    Big win, I do think the playoffs could be reachable with the impending collapse of a team or two. Even though that team very well may just be us.

    Great 4th quarter comeback. Brad Miller had me worried when he did his slow drive that was blocked at the end, but great shooting and good defense.

    It was fun watching Ariza air ball that corner 3 helping the Rockets WIN, for a change.

    Have to say. Didnt see this coming. Down and out were the Rockets.

    Martin's 2 - 3's and a steal sparked an unbelievable comeback. WOW!!!!

    The only thing that would have made it better is if some of the young guys had been part of it.

    Great win!

    Did someone say PLAYOFFS?! Chuck Hayes really is the Rockets MVP. As great as Martin is offensively, Chuck Hayes does it all. Hard to believe, but Chuckwagon is the Rockets MVP. How many times did he keep a possession alive or make incredible passes to set guys up. Dare I say he is as good a passer as Yao?!

    Beat Portland and this thing could be very real.

    I have a Hornets fan as a friend in my biology class. Looks like I have bragging rights over him tomorrow when I see him.

    My goodness... down 16, and to come up with a gritty, hard-fought win against a SW division rival? Amazing. GREAT WIN!!! Although I hate to say it, Scola going down temporarily was a blessing in disguise, as he didn't have his shot going at all. It definitely allowed C-Lee enter the game and do his thing. Awesome.

    Strong Finish. Although Scola didn't play Great tonight, his Presence is another reason why he is a Leader :)
