    Tremendous performance...but the haters will be right back. Many were hoping for the Rockets to loose this game so more changes would be made to the team and coaches...and they call themselves "fans"

    1. Rockets finally played proper defense.

    2. First time in both series Dallas and Clippers, that McHale has let Harden play more than 30-35 min... Harden played 43 minutes today. Even if Harden isn't scoring well, his presence is everything.

    3. Starting Smith proved to be crucial and positive for us because of his ability to spread the floor with his passing and rebounding.

    4. McHale better learn from his positive doings today moving on.

    5. Regardless if we end up winning game 6 and 7 and even possibly going to the third round and or NBA Finals, I still want McHale fired. I want Bulls to lose against Cav's and hopefully Coach Thibs get fired and Rockets snatch Thibs.

    6. Rockets bench showed up today, the Clippers bench didn't... big difference maker.

    7. So nervous and hopeful and anxious for the next game.


    FIXED.

    People just love to over analyze. They still have a ton of work to do.

    That's the game I expected the Rockets to play all series. Houston, we have a chance.

    Little noticed fact tonight: McHale a few times waited a few seconds to hack DJ when leading in the 4th. At one point they hacked DJ with 8 seconds left on the shot clock. So not only did they hack DJ, and have him miss 2 free throws for an empty possession, they made LA waste 16 seconds to get those zero points.

    It was a brilliant use of the hack-a strategy all the way around and had Morey's fingerprints all over it. Waiting till later in the shot clock to hack takes it to a new (and improved) level.

    I hope KJ is taking notes and picking Ariza's brain constantly. He has the tools to be an elite defender.

    This. If you are going to foul, make them waste time also!
