    Anything can happen in game 5. Mavs are playing with house money. If they get a lead the entire arena will be tense.

    2nd Q, 2 mins left = 53 pts
    3rd Q, 4 mins left = 58 pts.

    10 mins, 5 pts. game over.

    We have no answer for JJ. If Harden just stays on Aminu we will be fine with him

    I'm not nervous.

    It only got so far out of reach because we had a period where we kept taking 3s and long 2s and missing everyone, while Dallas was hot and hitting every shot (or getting an offensive rebound then making that shot). When we switched back to attacking the hoop, we got it back down to a 10 point game.

    Our 3 point shooting will be off every once in a while, its going to happen. Hopefully we will adjust quicker than we did this game.

    I think the thing that killed them was missing all the 3s. Dallas was basically giving it up, and collapsing the lane. Hit the 3s and they will open up the lane.

    Disappointing loss. But honestly Houston played terrible and Dallas played as well as they could. Rockets will bounce back.

    Game sucked, but I'm not that too concerned because of how many shots we missed. Lost by 10 but missed 15 straight shots.

    Mavs didn't beat us, Rockets beat themselves.

    I'm more concerned about heading into the next series with the right mentality.

    Lets kill them in Game 5 and get rolling into round 2.

    Howard can't grab rebound. I don't know why don't give Capela a try.

    I'm not.

    Look we are who we are a good team but not likely at a championship level yet. We will win this series and IMHO the second round is a coin flip wouldn't surprise me if we win or lose. It would take a miracle to get past the Warriors though if you want to be honest about it.

    A lots of good looks?

    All long jumpers and 3s are good looks?

    The Rox were not making shoots in G3 first half, but those are actually good looks and missed a lots around the rim.

    Not tonight.

    the only silver lining is Mchale made some adjustments during the game and actually let Nick Johnson play some minutes.

    Sure seems like it. Howard was dominating until that point and I guess it just got into his head.

    Good thing is that great players rarely have two bad games in a row. Rockets as a team are a really good rebound team.

    Series is closer to 2-2 than it is a sweep.

    Pulled away in the 4th Q the first two games.
    The last two games, ha, I have no idea where the defense went. They better do something here, quickly.

    Dallas playing great ball offensively. Nothing to lose here on out.

    Not sure why we kept taking the long 2s. They were driving the lane so well and then started settling for the long 2s. They keep attacking the basket and things will start will to fall. I'm not worried either.

    I'll be concerned if the Rockets mail in a 3rd straight game defensively.
