    My hometown football (soccer as you call it) team lost to our rival with refs helping them out tonight. So I am badly pissed and want Rockets to win this one. They better do!

    All 5 Rockets starters are quite athletic, even Asik in his own way.

    We have several high IQ players, only Parsons is high motor and only Harden is athletic.

    I have to agree that it hurt our playoff chances this year by trading ppat/Morris/Douglas (Aldrich lol he can go), but even if we did keep them it's not like we would have gone far in the playoffs this year. But you could cool down a bit, your constant whining isn't going to get him back, the trade is done. Time to move on.

    All we can hope for is for TRob to actually improve and do what he is supposed to do (rebound), and to see what Garcia can do.

    Only the white american player is high motor and only the black dude is athletic? That's pretty racist.

    "high motor" is the term NFL scouts love to use for white players rather than refer to them as athletic..I agree, when you break it down, its pretty racist..but when you break it down even further, its pretty hilarious.

    The "High motor" label was put on JJ Watt, contributing in part, to his dropping to below 10th pick in the draft imo.

    Serves them right!

    No, I don't think the Rockets' starting lineup is racist. Except for Omer. Omer is racist.

    Lin goes for 8 minutes and 3 assists in the first half of the first quarter, McFail kneejerks and pulls him out for the remainder of the game. However, Durant doesn't go off on the Rockets and Houston wins by 4.

    Kevin Mchale before the game: "Since the break we have not played good defense."

    No kidding. Let see if defense tightens up tonight!

    McFail's Lexus keys of the game:
    1. Bench Lin when he gets hot.
    2. Play Parsons and Harden 48 minutes.
    3. Let Delfino share the point with Beverley.
