    They had 11 first half turnovers in Game 1 and cut down on them in the 2nd half. Hopefully they can do the same tonight.

    But the officiating has been a real problem. The Mavs are getting a bunch of ticky tack fouls and the Rockets are getting nothing. That layup by Smith in the 2nd quarter should've been an and-1. He got whacked over the head by Aminu, but there was no call.

    I'm talking about blowing a wide open layup. He has also had 3 or 4 bad turnovers on careless passes. He moves to the side and let's people score uncontested when he is defending (about 4 times).Now, I said that I'm wearing my Harden shirt and he will score 30+ but for you to talk about "dominant" is a MAJOR stretch...I mean MAJOR.

    They are both having horrible games so far. Ariza has had a bad series. Come on Rockets, pull it together.

    No when he drives he turns over the ball, Step aside and let Harden, Howard and Smith go to work.

    On that Blake Griffin Optima admin the aircraft carrier I keep wishing they would show driving off the end of the carrier into the ocean.

    Mavs have 6 flops, we only have 1. We gotta step it up. It's obvious what the league has come to, and what you have to do to keep up and/or gain an advantage.

    Dallas has 50 points on like 60 possessions and Barkley wants to say the Rockets aren't a good defensive team. That's complete bs.

    Yeah, Barea isn't really hurting us tonight. Ellis had a good first half, but the defense was pretty good overall. The problem is the turnovers and fouls.

    If I'm Harden I need to shoot the ball 30+ times tonight. Sometimes it's good to have that Kobe mentality. When you sense your team isn't hitting anything and you are, just take over and be selfish.

    I'm honestly not worried.

    15 TOs wont happen in the second half.
    Don't think Dwight will keep fouling like that.
    TJones will wake up.
    Terry just has to make one, then he's on

    This game is simple. Do NOT let Dallas get out and run. Rockets need to go Memphis Grizzlies on Dallas because their halfcourt offense is atrocious.
