    This game was the first time in the last 2 years in the playoffs where we were AHEAD at halftime.

    We were tied 1 game and ahead 1 game out of 12...

    To add to that fact I think we have won EVERY SINGLE 2nd half (or at least a huge majority of them).

    So basically I am just saying if the Rockets can be tied or in the lead at halftime, I think thats ultimate key to victory.

    COME ON ROCKETS BREAK TMAC'S CURSE! :D

    Interesting fact!

    Go T-Mac go!

    If he can impose his will consistently throughout the game and at the free throw line as well, we'll be all right.

    He also said they'd win in six after they lost to force game five...

    Let's hope his curse is just beginning. ;)

    Yeah I also noticed that.

    In 7 games last year we were down in every game at halftime. This time in Game 3 we were tied.

    ANother record :)

    we didnt win the game that we lost by 40. I really hate states like these. Its a 48 minute game. If they get lackadasical in the first half then it's going to cost them. No sense in congradulating the team in sucking first half and trying to make up for it in the 2nd.

    I agree, I am just saying if we can win 1st half, we are very likely to win game :D.

    here's one. The Rockets have never won a title without being down 0-2,3-1, and without beating the jazz.

    Rockets were never down 3-1 in the 93/94 playoffs.

    he didn't say that it had to meet all 3 of these criteria in the same year: 0-2,3-1, and without beating the jazz.

    we were down 0-2 to the suns though.

    Seconded.

    Been saying Juwan's a cursed man ever since he got to Orlando, and then in Houston. Guess we were right huh. :D

    Ahead before the last second is a more significant stat, don't you think?

    4 year ago, in that LAL series, we were ahead in the half in almost every game IIRC, and we got whipped pretty bad at the end of the games.
