    Given the Rockets propensity for blowing big leads, I don't even blame them. It's up to the Rockets to close it out.

    Objective for the 2nd Half:

    - Attack DJ relentlessly. Either he lets us go or we get him out with 4 fouls.
    - Keep playing good defense, but rebound and help Dwight more.
    - Get the lead to 20+ early and hope Doc rest his guys.
    - Even if Doc sits his guys, still play and blow the Clippers by 30+. Do not let the Clippers back in the game, even if it is just their end of bench guys.

    Rocket have to show the killer instinct to finish this game ASAP. If this is a 10 point game by the 4th, I would be pretty disappointed.

    Y'all do realize there's been more adjustments than just play harder, right? It was even as simple as the substitution pattern. Did you notice that Harden sat in the first quarter for probably the first time all season (when he wasn't in foul trouble) and was able to play the entire second? It maybe a subtle difference but one that makes sense.

    It isn't just the effort (which is clearly much better).

    They hacked dwight once this game.

    It doesn't matter WHY they did it, when they did it in the 1st qtr they sent a message to the entire team that they can't beat the clippers straight up. If they were doing it in the 4th it would have made sense...but the 1st qtr?

    Just play with the same defense discipline in the and offensive intensity in the first half, don't worry about how much you are up by....and we will beat these whining flopping sobs

    Maybe the Rockets can win by 30... Haha I wonder if that would make Clips nervous for game 6.
