    Refs gotta stop calling BS against D12 and he would "stay on the damn floor"

    Howard is the game changer.

    He swallows up that rim.

    It's funny I am missing this game cause I'm flying over to Germany right now, so I'm 40000 feet in the air half way across the ocean and got internet connection. So I'm reading this BBS and I thought we were getting crushed by all the posts. Che ki the score and we're winning at halftime....go figure.

    WOW... at least Rockets still up at half time.

    Hopefully the refs dont call all this ticky tack on Dwight in the 2nd half. Need him to grab those boards and finish down low!

    Smith is a long time veteran. If he hasn't learned by know how to play under control, he never will. We just have to take the bad with the good.

    You'd think it wouldn't be too difficult to create somewhat of a strategy to contain a player who can't shoot. But McHale finds a way

    While harden could play better, he's been doubled and tripled team.

    If Dwight picks up #4 in the 3rd I'm gonna be livid.

    Only plus side if Dwight picks up a 4th early... Capella only has 2 fouls... More to play with. He is safe up to 3 fouls in the 3rd quarter... Let him play.

    Getting Howard in foul trouble is what saved the Mavs. Hoping Howard stays out of fouling in the second half. This game should not be this close but oh well need to step it up in the second half.

    Playoffs Harden on pace for 24 and 14. He's not doing that bad guys.

    People complaining about Capela need to stop. The kid is doing well.
    It's Josh Smith that is killing the a Rockets right now.

    I wish Harden quit relying on the refs and concentrate on making the layups.

    We were also up by 14 and destroying them.

    Then in typical Rockets fashion we let them take the lead.
