    I am marginally worried about fatigue / fouls ....

    If I were Dekker I would be prepared to play this half

    We are watching basketball being played at a very high level. If I didn't care about the outcome, it would be even better.

    This has the intensity of a game 7. I couldn't dare take piss break during the commercials.

    Gordon needs to step up in the 2nd half.

    Taking every single game in these playoffs.I think this has been the best basketball the rockets have played.They are taking hits right to the chin and go right back and scoring.The defense is good the offense is good.All in all, this is a great game for non-spurs or rockets fans

    Great first half! Just keep it close or better yet come out shooting lights out in the 3rd. Oh yeah can the Refs please call some ticky tack fouls on the Spurs too??!!

    James looks like he's recovered some from the ankle...not 100%...but, enough to take care of these chumps. (and the refs)

    I feel good.

    Sperms made some contested 3's, Refs did their thing and the Rockets just played through it all and didn't get phased. Showing signs of maturity and confidence as a team.

    Uncle duder is proud to call these guys his team, regardless of the outcome.

    GO ROCKETS!!!

    Sounds good. Thanks for responding. How are the Spurs not blown out by now? Semi serious question.

    How's the Rockets defense?

    If Chuck won the Emmy, there is still hope for our very own Clyde Drexler

    Westbrookesque is Kawhi in his efficiency, Joe.

    looks like he hurt his shooting arm on the foul he took in the 1st Q

    Is there any chance Shaq gets fired after this season? It doesn't seem like anyone on the set actually cares for him and he certainly doesn't bring anything interesting to the broadcast.

    Look for the refs to turn it up a notch in the second half. Their effort wasn't good enough in the first half.

    I wouldnt be entirely shocked to see them start blocking the Rockets shots.
