    Not only was he walking it up, he was deferring to Gordon and the other role players. Why?

    This quarter is the series right here... gotta want it more. Get those 50/50 balls. Lots of good looks in 3rd Q but lots of misses too, if we hit them, we've got this

    Harden needs to be more aggressive than that in the 4th quarter. But you have to like the Rockets chances. If you came to us before the game and said we'd be down by 1 to start the 4th quarter, we'd almost certainly take it.

    Guys...help me understand...Ryno has had a good game but he is 6'10" and 240...only Nene is bigger at 6'11" 250. How can he get abused under the basket so much ? Being serious. BLOCK OUT...go for a block ! Ryno averaging 1 foul per game over the last 5 games.

    This is where a 7 man rotation will hurt us. In the 4th

    For some reason?? It's obvious that he was exhausted. These guys have been having to battle a MUCH more physical SA team all game.

    Fact is, Rockets have to win another one in SA, its either now, or in game 7. Take your pick or go the hell home.

    lack of defensive rebounding just killed us in that 3rd along with turnovers
