    dallas-mavs.com is the biggest joke of a site. If I was Clutch, I would be talking so much trash.

    Good, as you should.

    Let me offer you 46M and see if you take it. :rolleyes: Don't blame Parsons. Want to blame someone? Blame Daryl.

    Oh no, he called he called the city dirty! Britt McHenry said 'meaner' things to the tow lot attendant lady. :rolleyes:

    that last part is something most Mavs fans will never do.

    But I am NOT a tow truck driver. I am however a Houstonian. And we cut for Chandler for three years.

    Ever since he took the starting spot from Chase. Even after he got burned by Lillard for that series winning three...

    Then "left Houston to easily".

    No he can get booed. I don't mind ONE bit.

    The Mavs lineup is pretty bad actually. I guess I didn't pay any attention to that team this year, but the notion that they were contenders at any point is laughable. We would have won by 20+ had DW not been in foul trouble.

    The people who mad at us Rockets fans at the game for booing Parsons are ones who still live with their parents and dont even go regular season games and if they do, they just sit in their seats like they watching a movie

    Proof that Stephen A doesn't really watch any of the games outside of New York or LA. Brewer and Jones playing the way they did tonight wasn't surprising at all. This is the way they've played for pretty much the whole season.

    My thoughts on this game.
    On the positive side:
    1. Good intensity. Aside from the second quarter we appeared to mean business.
    2. Jet did EXACTLY what we wanted when we got him. He brought ice water shooting. I admit I chubbed up when he hit that three in front of the Mav’s bench
    3. Corey Brewer is our new Mario Elie. He brought it tonight. Stud. Simple as that.
    4. We managed a win despite D12 being seriously limited in minutes.
    5. We won with James limited to 24 quiet points.
    6. We responded to the cowardly hacka with a few 1-2 trips to the line and pulled that rug out from Rick.
    7. Joey’s ass was stapled to the bench where he should remain.
    8. GOOD DEFENSE with the exception of rim protection when D12 sits.
    Areas I am concerned about:
    1. I think Corey can’t maintain that 3 point percentage.
    2. We shot 40% from the 3 point line. That is about as good as it gets for us. If we shoot 30-33%. Do we win?
    3. Is D12 going to continue to be treated like a DAMN ROOKIE by the officials?
    4. Capella can’t even touch Amare and their whistles sing.
    5. Prigioni. HIT A *****ING OPEN THREE.
    6. I like Josh. But wow. Can he make some stupid decisions? Does he truly help us win?
    7. We STILL don’t go for the jugular. Get them down and kill them. This mysterious let em back in kills me.
    8. VERY concerned about seeing more Villanueva. Homeslice can tear up some string.

    No this is great. Otherwise I'd die of a brain aneurysm or heart failure.

    Excellent game by the Rockets!
    This team is different from the last couple of playoff teams.
    It's resilient like the 08-09 team and I'm so damn excited for them! They have something special cooking


    Changes that we should expect from tonight's game:

    - Harden will get a lot fewer foul calls in at least 2 games
    - Dwight will be reffed better only for about 1-2 games, so TJones & Josh have to keep stepping up
    - Tyson Chandler is going to keep dominating the paint when Dwight is out of the game; his minutes will be staggered to get this effect
    - JJBarea needs more attention and better funneling


    Things that the Rockets don't need to change:
    - keep driving to the basket! Goes for Harden, Brewer, Jones, even Ariza!
    - keep the energy level up like tonight, and make those simple but great passes
    - keep defense super tight like tonight
    - keep forcing those Mav turnovers!
    - H&H pick & roll was money when they needed it most
    - Rondo's jumpshot does not need to be respected after tonight's hotter shooting
    - keep fueling Capela's activity on defense and off-the-ball instincts on offense! what a diamond
    - keep focused & turnovers low!!!
    - keep feeding off JET's infectious intensity! JET baby! JET! Got us rolling in the 1st quarter against a meaningful team from his past! Take that as the highest motivation! He loves playing in Rockets red!


    Keep playing dominant Rockets basketball!

    We got game 1!
