    Please stay locked-in! It has been wonderful so far!! However, a choke job here losing after leading by 30 points, will be remembered for several years going forward. PLAY SMART BALL!!

    Trev has hit some shots too but I said before he looks quicker w/ rest - which I guess helps his legs on his shot too.

    But his defense and Bev's (as always) have been disruptive to what the Spurs like to do and 39 points is the result. The shots falling at this rate is sort of remarkable but early defense made the most difference since the Spurs decided to rush shots as a result.

    Proud of this team.

    Keep it up! Don't give them hope for this game or the rest of the series.

    If I were coach I would tell them the pressure is still on the Rockets to take this game. If you blow a 30 lead and lose that is demoralizing.

    They need to stomp them hard and play smart defense in the 2nd half

    As happy as I am right now, I'm petrified.. Rockets need to come out in the second half with the same fire and desperation..

    I hope the Rockets come out with a killer instinct. Rockets didn't have the killer instinct, that ability to step on the neck in the first series.. oh boy..I hope the Swag champs don't come out in the second half.

    Rockets defense has been fantastic

    When there locked in like this.

    Only golden state and Cleveland can give them problems.

    Iv been saying it all year.

    Rockets are better than the Spurs.

    Now we have to keep it up but the rockets ceiling is a lot higher than the Spurs.

    that's incredible. one of the smoothest pull-away blowouts ever. now we just have to make sure the second half doesn't look like the opposite of that. i swear if we give up a 6-0 run to start the second half with 2 3's sandwiched around a stupid turnover i'll be so damn mad.

    Well biggest comeback in NBA history is 26 points. So probably not going to happen tonight.

    Of course, that comeback happened 10 days ago.

    Reggie Miller must have run through 5 boxes of kleenex during half time

    Just need to play solid ball in this half.

    Can't go into careless mode like we've done so many times with a big lead.

    If they cut the lead to 20, D'Antoni better call a time out. That's playing with fire
