Looks like the Rockets' runaway train has been getting derailed lately.

Lol at Knicks melt down lately.

Rockets are hitting a wall its ok rebuilding year play off would be cherry on top let the guys learn.

On the other hand ROFL knicks. Championship or bust, looks bust whichever way you look at it. Lol at melo stat padding in the end. Knicks is a flash in the pan with a hot start.

Why don't knicks fan go celebrate in their own game thread? or they got their shit kicked in, I thought Melo Circled tonight's game and had a REST so he can focus on it 100%. Looks like NK season is imploding.

No, it looks like every team goes through peaks and valleys during the season. Let's see what happens when it counts.

If that was some kind of back-handed compliment, I never got out of whack about the Knicks hot start. Knowledgeable fans know that the season is long, and early success might might something significant -- or it might not.

Even with the recent struggles, the Knicks have vaulted themselves into a position of seriously contending in the East -- when they were simply fringe players in the previous season.

When their defense is ramped up, they're a seriously tough out -- especially when everybody gets healthy.

Houston has been a great story this year, but the team has no defensive foundation to speak of.

So, like I said, we'll see what happens come playoff time.
