    Refs suck or not, Harden and Howard need to step up in the 2nd half. The role players are doing their job and it's time for the superstars to do theirs.

    Shaq is right that Dwight should be able to dominate Lopez guarding him one-on-one. However, Shaq is forgetting that Dwight has no game.

    With the fouls that have been called, it's hard to expect Dwight to try a power move. I think he should learn how to pass out of the post at times, if even for a repost.

    He's spitting truth, though. Dwight is too good not to be dominating RoLo.

    Dwight will never be Shaq, so Shaq needs to stop it! Shaq has similar game but a tad more skilled than Dwight. Shaq needs to drop that argument of Howard being a 28 and 15 guy. Howard just has not developed into that type of player and at this point in his career, he is what he is.

    Shaq and Barkley cant stand each other...or atleast Shaq hates Barkley. Although Barkley looks more stupid, he a much smarter man than Shaq

    Obviously we're always biased for the rockets against the refs but that was just stupid. Refs lost control of that half and have the blazers everything they wanted. You can't keep calling touch fouls on one end and ignore hacks on the other. Really just an amazing job by the refs to complete take the energy out of the arena. Hopefully we can get a more balanced second half.

    I wish Dwight had more of Shaq's mentality. Take it personally that they're single covering you with Robin Lopez.

    Agree w/ Shaq, Howard looks pretty lousy against a guy he should be dominating tonight. I like DH but agree with Charles, he will only ever be a very good player, never a great player. He even looks knid of anemic on D tonight, there hve been lot's of drives ight down the middle of the paint that he hasn't done much to alter the shots taken.

    The REFs should be fired. Can anyone tell me there exists a way to write letters to NBA? I would like to make one.

    shaqs blueprint was to run the floor and jump high and make 3 jump hooks and 1 ft a quarter.

    ummm he's running the floor and jumping high, but he's not a guy that's gonna make those jump hooks.
