Maybe there is no reason to score 20+ ppg by Gordon every game, as long as Westbrook and Harden actually makes enough of their baskets that kinda means it is good enough for them to make a good team in the future. I can't think of a small forward that can change the team, House is definitely a decent player and gets good enough minutes, ben mclemore is decent too however these are not really players that matter that much.
Reality is they have Westbrook+Harden+Pjtucket+Capela on their starter five, Eric Gordon is their sixth player on a team that doesn't have 5 good players, maybe they could just trade him and get a very good small forward instead or if not they could just hope that Eric Gordon just takes care of the teams second unit and be leader there.

If Harden and Westbrook can do it, Gordon can do it too. I hope that this is the start for him to contribute more in terms of scoring and let Westbrook and Harden do the passing since both of them are good at it.
Maybe more like, if Harden and Westbrook will come back, Gordon can't produce points like that again. This season, he only average 16 points, he should get at least 20 and more opportunity to drive and shoot 3s for this team.

Gordon did a major contribution in the past seasons when they played against the Warriors, so he is an asset in the playoffs, they just need to keep him healthy. Rockets although included in the top 8 but they are lagging in ranking now as they are just rank number 6, I used to see them in the top 3 spot in the past seasons.

As if Jazz are not an ordinary team, please don't over react with this lose, Rockets are also a team that is capable of winning so they deserved this win.
With what Gordon have showed in this game, they should give him more minutes and more opportunity to shot the ball.
This man scored 50 points which is usually done by Harden, so if the Rockets will share the points with him, I think they will become unpredictable.
That's huge productions while your star players are not around to help the team. If you have this kind of player and if he will be continue this statsWith what Gordon have showed in this game, they should give him more minutes and more opportunity to shot the ball.

They just became an "overrated team" because they acquired Clarkson and their record became better after acquiring him but take note that when Clarkson isn't on the Jazz, they are at the bottom spot (around 5-8). One thing more is that Rockets are just better in this game than the Jazz and they are more aggressive right now because they are playing on the road.
If Harden and Westbrook can do it, Gordon can do it too. I hope that this is the start for him to contribute more in terms of scoring and let Westbrook and Harden do the passing since both of them are good at it.
Hawks tomorrow is given +12.5 against the Raptors. @ 1.85.
I will take the bet.
That is some huge handicap given.

I don't trust hawks on the road, but since they won their last game, maybe they can bring that momentum to this game.
Who knows, maybe take the ML as well, Toronto is a good defensive team but if Trae will again have a good game and will explode, we might see a close game.

I can't believe the Jazz loss against the Rockets.
Are they rigging this game, Rockets without Harden, Westbrook, and Capela and yet they manage to win on the road, unbelievable.

Maybe the Jazz is just having an off-night, or perhaps Gordon played like he is the superstar of Houston, scoring like James Harden's number.
Donovan Mitchell and try to keep the game close, but they missed a lot of three points (12 out of 42). They are usually a good shooting three point team, so that's one reason why they lost this match against the depleted Houston Rockets.
Me choosing the Jazz to win by 10 points does not like what they are doing, I was thinking they are going to dominate early but it was the opposite that I witnessed. Maybe sometimes we have to bet against the public as Jazz was obviously the public pick knowing their big 3 is out.

Maybe the Rockets management should look into this, they are not utilizing the talent of their other players, instead they fully rely on the combo of Westbrook and Harden which only makes them very predictable, if Rockets are playing like how the Jazz are playing, they sure have a decent chance in the playoffs, sorry, but this Rockets now seems to be weak compared to the rockets before.
This is one of the times that opposing teams get blindsided by the offense because they did not anticipate the output coming from the supporting cast of rockets. They know Rockets play when their superstars are playing but since they are out the play is different. Add that to the poor performance of Jazz. I like Jazz but I think the most stable and the strongest team right now is the Bucks, they also keep winning and proving that they are almost unbeatable.
Rockets reached to a peak point where they know what they are capable of, they know the talent in the team and they realized that long time ago. Nowadays they are just trying to get by with as minimum effort as possible and trying to just reach to playoffs without any serious injury so that they can start playing at the %100 level. Remember last years when Lebron was in Cavs, there was times they finished at 4th I think, maybe even 5th I can't remember and thats on east conference as well, they still managed to reach to Finals without a trouble because Lebron would just carry them there easily. Same goes on here, Rockets knows that they will be in playoffs for sure, there is nothing to work for or even want to play for outside of that, up until that moment they will just cruise. The moment they are on playoffs we will see a whole different Rockets for sure.

The question here is the consistency of those Rockets players who showed up against the Jazz. They can have a good night or two but carrying the team all through out the season is a different story. Good thing they hold the port while the two main man of Rockets were out plus the fact that the Jazz have a poor night of basketball which could happen once in a while.

This is just one of those games, where underdog wins, they were simply more aggressive. Eric Gordon played game of his career + Rockets had season high 49 free throws, and out of that Gordon had 20. Seems like he learned thing or two from Harden.
While in the Jazz team no one showed up except Bogdanovic and Mitchell. Add on that atrocious 3 pts shooting (12-42), and once again non existent bench and you get this unexpected loss. But as i said, that's just one of those games, like when Dallas Mavericks without Luka Doncic stopped Milwaukee Bucks 18 games winning streak back in December 2019, when not even 48 points of Antetokounmpo wasn't enough.

That's just a matter of getting into the groove. The main gunners of rockets are out but the support of each individuals to win the game is what matters in this match.anyways it seems really unbelievable that the rockets win this game but if they have their superstars playing, they seems so vulnerable and lack on defense.

hahaha, I can feel you mate, lots of us got burn today because of that Jazz vs Rockets game.
Jazz was too good with good teams but has become a shitty team against the Rockets today, and they never even have a lead within the game, (correct me if I'm wrong).
Wow, that is something else if the stars ain't there but we cannot say it is rigged.
Maybe just a really bad night.
Did Eric Gordon really just made 50 points?
A new career high for this man. He made something possible with their offense even without Harden and Westbrook.
Looks like he was pushed to his limits by Mike D'Antoni.
