    This game is the polar opposite of last night's. The team that first scores 120 wins.

    I think his return halted our momentum we were having with the 2nd unit of Barry, Brooks, Artest, Landry, and Yao, to be honest.

    He is SOoooooo slow on defense it pains me to watch as fan of his. He is likely not even 70% healthy yet.

    they are fronting him a lot actually...the only reason we dont notice is because yao gets most of the passes...all because luther wasnt passing it

    Defensive liability? The guy has been a liability on both sides of the court. The Rockets went on their run when he and Rafer both went to the bench. That isn't a coincidence.

    The same ol Mavs that we aw under Don Nelson. All offense, but no defense. When we put a shoot up 4 of there players run for the outlet pass instead of securing the rebound.

    mcgrady is obviously not 100% or even 85%. he doesn't have any bounce to his step and can't play any defense. but i am excited to see how this team performs when everyone is back especially shane. for this game we'd put shane on howard and artest on nowitzki.

    This game is similar to my NBA2K9 season. Rockets Lead by 3 at half.

    LOL at Barkley's golf swing looking like Hayes' FT attempts.

    I agree, his ryth isn't there but it will come. he just gotta play. But even is he is not at his best shape he still can do great things, like 7 asists.

    btw, we need to win this one especially having the big lead like we had

    I'm a fan of McGrady, too, but what did you think about his defense?

    Do you agree that he probably cost us about 10 pts on that end?

    McGady should take 3-4 months off, get his surgery he needs then come back close to the playoffs, he's looking worse every year. Sad, but true.

    YAO played 20 mins already with only 3 points lead. Second half will be a tough battle. TMAC needs step up now. Man, when Battier will be back to play!
