    He realizes now that although Dallas city may look cleaner than Houston city, it certainly isn't better.

    I thought we'd get blown out tonight, but the Rockets balled. Team played great D limiting the high scoring Mavs to 92 points. Shame we lost that big lead, but we clamped down defensively in the final minutes, made some shots, and got the win.

    GREAT GAME!!!

    BEST WIN OF THE SEASON!!!

    there's a quick fix coming to the Toyota Center known as the New York Knicks.

    frustrated sure but calling for trades and players top be chopped just because they play a bad game or are in a slump goes overboard on here.

    like Ariza, he is in a shooting slump but he can fall back on his defence to contribute, something Parsons couldn't do

    ooooooohhhhh Shay Lauren.... :p

    Thank you for this... almost made me forget the win...

    Then I recall James Harden bulldozing Parsons... And I smile.

    One major thing, that has been duly noted by Rox fans but to a lesser extent the media at large, is the fact that Harden is absolutely playing some insanely good defense this year compared to... every other year he has been in a Rox uniform.

    He did a masterful job on Dirk when it counted tonight. Same w/ Ariza, just wish he hadn't lost his shooting touch in the process recently...

    This one is golden. Dirk would have 5000 fewer points without the phantom calls.

    I hope they ended the video on the perfect note- Chandler's last play as a Houston Rocket

    The cannan situation is really becoming irritating. We always have a period in the game where we are starving for buckets but yet McHale uses Garcia who is useless... His rotations this year are beyond atrocious and will cost us games eventually

    Lol, Dallas fans were calling for Parsons to get taken out of the game all night long.

    Defense is basically the mantra of the team this season so I can only hope that coach McHale likes Gracia better because he's better defensively.

    I was there. They boo'd him anytime he touched the ball. But they cheered him when the tribute video played.

    Canaan made two turnovers in less that three minutes. One more of those and we could have lost this game.
