    that's the play we drew up? a fadeaway 3 by yao? great job jvg.

    also, excellent running the same play every single time we wanna run clock. down to yao for the turnaround. they know it's coming and contest it fairly well. that's why it was an airball on yao second to last shot.

    and of course course davis' sorry ass hits the 3. and then our awful final play.

    So, how many double digit leads have the Rockets blown.

    Yao has to make that shot or at LEAST hit the darned rim.....

    So many mistakes....so sloppy......just ridiculous.

    what a defensive breakdown in the last minutes...very disappointing. We had the game in had. Back to back 3 point play lost us the game.

    I wouldn't call that choking. You've gotta want to take that shot and obv, you aren't going to make it every single time :/ .

    Damn....tough loss but ya gotta give B.Diddy props. When healthy there aren't many PG's I would rather have on my squad.

    We need a healthy T-Mac or an in-shape Wells.....

    bull**** calls by the ref at the end.

    1. The travel by Yao.
    2. That continuation for Dunleavy at the end

    *shakes head*

    This hurts baaaaaad!

    No shame for the Rockets this game. Dunleavy's 3 point play was the camel that broke our back and gave them a chance to win. Baron Davis was just too good this time around.

    Obviously that wasn't the play JVG planned.

    Giving up the offensive rebound and the 3-point play to Dunleavy is what cost them the game. There's nothing you can do about Baron Davis' 3-pointer. Dude shot it from 26 feet away. If the Rockets get that rebound on the previous possession, the game is over.

    What the hell? You set Yao Ming up for a game winner THREE?? What kind of genius coach does that? JVG clearly has NO CLUE how to utilize his big man.

    Absolutely horrible coaching by JVG.

    Not playing for the two for one opportunity at the end of the third quarter. Even the Golden State announcers were remarking on what a goof that was.

    And when we had the ball up by 1 with 20 secs left to play. Why not call a freaking timeout like a real coach and draw up a play so we can get a good look? That is inexcusable!

    Yet another game we might have won with a decent coach. How long is this joker going to be allowed to stick around?

    What a TERRIBLE shot to end the game. Can't believe that was the best shot we could come up with especially with Yao being doubled.

    if the refs called every single foul committed by a warrior on yao ming, i think we would have won.
    if they call defensive 3 seconds on us, they gotta call it on them too!
    i think alston and battier did a nice job, so did head and everyone else.
    we did give up some offensive rebounds.
    we need tmac.
    i wish we won, it sucks to lose 2 in a row! :p let's not make it 3 in a row.
    alston's defense though..might not beeee as good as we want it to be..

    everytime we lose because tracy misses a game, it sends a message that we need a player who will actually be able to play.

    oh well ill look forward to beating kobe and the fakers tomorrow :p but look on the bright side of things...

    luther head..26pts, 9reb, 4 assists :) :)
    definitely the best games i ever saw out of him

    rafer...well, well, well..looks like you finally found ur shot(at least behind the arc)
    5-10 3pt, really nice i gotta say

    finally, the best for last
    yao!!!!
    might have took a 3pt gamewinning shot..but i think thats due to poor coaching
    36pts!! wow..just 2 shy to tie with season high
    to go nicely with 36pts...17 reb.. :D :D :D

    finally nice d by the rockets, lol at the warriors for being outrebounded by 20 :p :p :p

    oh yea, these are just inferences from looking at the boxscore and play by plays
