    Plus, had Dwight had 8 pts, 8 rebs, and Harden/Parsons combined for 40, he would be complaining about Dwight not being "duh-mi-nant" enough.

    He really can't win with this crew. Shaq will only give him credit when he looks like Wilt (or a prime Shaq), and Barkley will always steer the argument to where he wants.

    The only way they're all happy is if Dwight goes off, Chandler goes off, Harden goes off, an the Rockets are up by 40. Apparently that's the only way to impress the TNT crew.

    we need harden to get it going. i said last game we only needed dwight or harden to have a good first half to guarantee a win. now we got dwight going off. if harden steps up with dwight staying hot its a guaranteed win.

    hate how we can't run off with the game for a 3possession lead. its too close!

    Maybe I'm being too negative, but I can't see the Rockets winning this game..

    if mchale can't figure out how to slow down LMA and play a dual H&H attack, we're done.

    Rockets win this game if they take Aldridge away. Can we at least TRY a double team?

    But the refs can help him to score anyways.

    Charles basically owned Shaq during the halftime discussion but Shaq wouldn't shut his big mouth up long enough to allow him to make the point.

    Rockets didn't play their game. Harden has to take over in the 2nd half or it's 0-2.

    LMA won't keep shooting lights out. He will slow down.

    I really hope we don't end up bending over backwards to pay Parsons...he is REPLACEABLE

    Barkley is right. Dwight is hot right now but taking a ton of shots.

    But it's not because Dwight is dominating... It's because our other players aren't making shots & LMA hasn't come back to earth yet.

    If Aldridge keeps shooting 75%, then we won't win. But something tells me he eventually will cool down. No one can sustain that level of efficiency on offense.

    We might win this game, but to me Portland just looks like the better team.
