    Great win! Lin stepped up huge, Howard and Parsons were excellent as well, rough night for Harden but he came up big the last few minutes.

    Let's get a Game 7!!

    Lackluster coaching by McHale, as per normal.

    Great, great game by Dwight, Parsons and Lin.

    Great effort and heart from Bev for playing when sick.

    Harden needs to get out of his slump, ineffectual for almost the entire game but woke up at the end.

    O well I'll take the W still.

    Lin played well. Two more good games and Rockets wins and he can establish a clutch reputation.

    Reading the words of Hakeem and Ellie had a calming effect on me during the week, clearly hearing those words had an impact on the players. The lead for 45 minutes of however long we lead for in this game.

    Jeremy bounced back strong! Unlike some of his fans, he took ownership...it hurt, and he stepped up.

    Harden defering, some good defense and took over late.

    Dwight was amazing again...

    Well Harden showed up at the right time.

    And HELL of a game by Lin. He came up huge.

    4 real, maybe he has the same fever that Bev had.

    Good job by Lin, Omer and Dwight tonight.

    If he plays like this all the time he would never be hated. But this is Lin we're talking about. He's inconsistent so I'm pretty much expecting a terrible game 6 from him.

    Could you imagine if Harden played defense like he did in the last 4 mins for even half the duration of the game? We'd be blowing them out! Glad he picked it up, hope that change of tone gets us through the rest of the series. Hats off the Howard for bringing it every game, Lin for blowing up, and Bev for giving it everything he had with the flu. Very proud.

    I don't care what happens. I just want one more home game this season.

    I'm really glad we at LEAST took this to 6--with all the luck/bad officiating that went the Blazers' way, and half the games going to overtime (and all coming down to the last several minutes of the 4th), that alone is a decent accomplishment. Game 6 will be our biggest challenge. I hope this sh***y version of LMA is the one that shows up, and Harden comes on really strong to make up for his lackluster rest of the series.

    GO ROCKETS!
