    So proud so far .

    Playing with some heart 5v8

    Spurs aren't missing much either ... It would be very easy to get discouraged this game

    That half felt like pushing a large rock up a hill, and I'm incredibly proud of the Rockets because they kept pushing.

    Really liking the perseverance shown here, despite being screwed by the refs. Keep it up!

    Refs - "We did our job, you got to make some layups Manu. Let's go"

    Must be mentally tiring playing 5v8 every game.

    Keep it up guys!

    That Manu dunk was so weak......... TNT keeps hyping it and spurs acting like it was T-Mac over Bradley.....

    I loved the pace in that 1st half...that was the tempo that we want, don't let up in the 2nd half

    really proud of this team, they don't back down and they came to play

    Harden was incredible...keep attacking the basket and getting buckets

    Up 2, that's good i guess.

    We need EG to catch fire, Lou too...

    Gordon though, i feel like he's the guy who can give us that boost to win...he has been spectacular on defense imo, i'd say he played Kawhi perfectly and better than Ariza.

    If we win this game, game 6 we will see Mark Davis, Tony Brothers, and Joey Crawford will come out of retirement to call the game.

    Harden and crew need to get their minds right for a tough battle in the second half.

    Refs and Spurs feel this slipping away and all 8 will do everything they can to regain control

    Kawhi has 10 points on 9 shots. MVP

    Very winnable game. Rockets pace so far. Rockets look like they got that extra oomph tonight.

    Oooohhhhhh he put it in from beyond half court. He's 39. Remember that dunk? What a dunk. Have you ever seen an old man dunk? 39. Second oldest man to dunk in NBA history. What a Eurostep, too, right? Reggie?
