    Harden needs to head over to Memorial Herman and get the Ivs going and get some rest for Thursday.

    It is amazing what playing defense can accomplish. After several pathetic performances the Rockets finally answered the bell. I still want McHale fired, but I am happy about the measure of redemption.

    Chris Bosh is a better analyst than Shaq and Charles combined. He's so prepared and on cue with his response. He looks more like he's retired than an actual active player as well.

    This was always the recipe for success. Harden and Dwight playing their best typical game and then one of our many role players to step up and be that 3rd star for the game.

    Hopefully we can get the same effort from Harden and Dwight with Jones, Smith, Ariza, Brewer or Terry scoring 20+.

    I wish we got Bosh. He's a nice guy.

    Barnes – 5 points on 8 shots, 1-4 from three
    Crawford – 5 points on 10 shots, 1-5 from three
    Redick – 9 points on 12 shots, 1-8 from three
    Rivers – 8 points on 11 shots, 1-5 from three

    This was easily the biggest key. It's fine if Griffin goes off as long as the role players aren't producing. The challenge is replicating this in Game 6...

    Very true what McHale wants from the team is to continue to attack and not stop doing it even when the fouls are not being called.

    Noticed that the Clippers didn't run that double screen up top at all this game. They did have two guys head up there one time, but the second man ran off to the side and DeAndre Jordan got a wide open dunk on the play.

    Gotta be ready to adjust to that next game.

    With that being said, the effort was MUCH better and it lead to more shots falling. Like Reggie said, the guys played hard, played tough, and played smart. They just have to do that again in game 6.

    It would be beyond ironic if this series went to seven. Anything could happen at that point. Whatever happens, the Rockets got back a degree of self respect. It would have been horrible to end the season on your home floor with your own fans booing you. I am glad that didn't happen.
