    We don't have much of a chance without Howard for Game 2. The Warriors were killing us inside in the 2nd half. We were barely hanging on there.

    Not yet, but I heard they keep an extra tank of oxygen and nitro-glycerin pills on the bench just for him.

    Yeah but we had dmo. Now we have Capella but he has been doing good. So I will hope for the best

    do you trust me? do you believe in me? yes, i will eventually get you the right contract, right team. be patient, it will come. now decide if you want to play in bucharest or fukuoka.

    that's 80% of agent-player relations in sports. but for guys in dwight's position he should be calling the shots.

    Harden is going to have to play like prime LeBron for them to have a chance without Dwight.

    I might not have been clear.

    What they did? Setting illegal screens, flopping etc and getting away with it.

    Well i guess the officials will start calling these when they meet Lebron in the final.

    Nothing Codman has said has come true.

    I'm hoping they've got 8 wins for us the rest of this postseason. Is that asking too much?

    Man if I am reading Codman right sounds like Dan Fegan is trying to screw the Rockets again - seriously I am all for doing whats best for Dwight's long term health but if the injury truly is minor then he should play and be all counts sounds like Dwight wants to play this is the only second time he has been in a conference finals.

    Dwight needs to strongly consider firing Fegan if he seeing that Fegan is openly trying to sabatoge the team Dwight is on

    No they won't.
    Everyone flops. Rockets flop too. The Warriors don't do something breaking new some extreme behaviour that the NBA has never witnessed until now. In fact I have seen some teams do MORE things that are against the official rules in this same playoffs this year alone.

    You've been really pessimistic lately. I don't remember you being that type of poster. You guys giving up already. Rockets still have to play the games! Let's see what happens. Damn.

    Man ****. We don't really know what Dwight we're getting yet but just the fact that we have to talk about it just sucks. This team turned the corner in game 6 and legitimately had/have a great great chance at winning a championship this season. The Warriors are extremely beatable and so is either east team. Im pretty sure we need playoff Dwight to get it done.

    I agree. No way we're winning anything with injured Dwight.

    The one positive in all this is that the Rockets will be able to run faster on the fast break...if Capela can grab at least 10 rebounds and score 10 points then we can make a game out of it possibly...I will not be surprised if he has a monster game. He's got it in him. I know I got my Rocket Googles so we shall see. Maybe Nick Johnson will get some play time

    I actually liked our interior D a lot on the 2nd half considering Dwight wasn't there. It was the perimeter D (too many guys getting lost and giving up open 3s) that killed us.

    Also, we were getting killed on the glass IIRC. Dwight would definitely help there.
