    Why does Dwight look so bad now at free throws I felt like he's was consistantly making at least 1 of 2 towards the end of the season. Now he's not even close. Missing horribly bad

    Just play hard in the second half.

    The rockets have figured them out.

    Cancel out Barnes and Reddick.

    Let Paul and Griffin carry the squad.

    You have to be happy with the Rockets effort in second quarter.

    Josh Howard beyond sux at free-throws... He's got no excuse. He's not the tallest nor have the biggest hands.. No excuses Dwight!!!!

    Coming out of halftime... the third quarter has been our Achilles heel all year so we need to come out and have the best 3rd quarter we've had all year. We do that we will easily win this game.

    What a dumb move to start hacking. We were beating them straight up. Keep the team focused on playing basketball and not that meta-game hacking non-sense.

    We can beat them straight up, let them rely on that.

    More people need to get pissed at Dwight. I love the rebounds, the dunks and the defense but this dude can't hit a damn free throw in the playoffs.

    Well all in all, we are in the game on the road and just need to hang tough. Should be leading, but the end of half strategy really failed.

    Here comes the all important 3rd, I hope the Rockets hang in there out of the locker room

    That was when we were being killed by a Clippers 20-0 run. This is when we were playing good offense and taking the lead.

    Keep their shooter in check is key. And McHale, if you go hack, keep at it, don't give up and please please don't put Howard in when hacking.

    We just let the Clippers know that Dwight ain't hitting any free throws tonight. That is one of the worst coaching decisions McHale has made all season. We had ALLLLLLL the momentum.

    You can't employ the hack when you got a schitty free-throw shooter on the court for your team.
