CONGRATULATIONS TO RICK ADELMAN! PLAYER OF THE GAME!

He absolutely made the right move.

Let the PGs handle the ball and let T-Mac come off screens or post up closer to the basket.

Pure genius. Well, sort of. I just don't know why he didn't do it sooner.

how is a team missing its starting center and PG supposed to win versus anyone in the west in the playoffs? that's 40% of your starting lineup and for the rockets more than 40% of it's offense

I never really thought we had a shot those 2 games even though we made runs. I originally thought this series would go 6... still sticking to that prediction (although rockets in 7 would be a dream)

Haha dont give me that crap. If we made our FTs in either game we coulda come out of that 1-1. And then right now it'd be 3-2 in favor of us if we win today's game.

We need to step on their necks here. If we can at least hold the lead for the first 5 minutes of the 4th, we can rest everyone in garbage time.

This just shows how important Rafer is to the team. He just runs the O way better than anyone else on the Rox.

THIS right here, is Rockets basketball. This is what we saw during the 22 game winning streak. The movement on the offense with no one being a ball stopper, making the extra pass, and suffocating defense. If they can play the same, there will be 2 more blowouts. WERD

You got it, man!

There is no defense in this league that can stop that.

We were playing right into the hands of the Jazz by letting T-Mac handle the ball on the perimeter.

This is absolutely beautiful. I haven't been this happy in weeks and it is not just because we are winning.

This is absolutely the way T-Mac must play next season. Wow! Awesome!

Towards the end they have been just a little bit relaxed. Should've contain Bootah in 20.

Time to rest TMac for the first 3 minutes to have ready for the final minutes of the dreaded fourth.

Guys we scored 31 in this quater ! 1st quater to reach 30 for us, we are playing great offensivly.

BTW, T-Mac is pretty much on fire with those jumpers, he's 10-19 and hopefully he will get a lot of rest in the 4th and will play as well as he's been doing.
