    Primary reason why I'm not terribly concerned at the moment, but they definitely need to get it together. That was an atrocious first quarter.

    Josh Smith is terrible. Worst Rocket on the floor.

    This M.O. is pretty easy to see really. The refs take Howard out of the game in the first one...tonight, the plan will be to take Harden out. Let's see what shakes out. We have to get the home games because if a Rocket breaks wind in Dallas, it will be a foul. It will be an uphill battle there IMO.

    Yeah, the second foul was clearly a hack at the forearm. We're also blaming him for pull-up 3s and missing at the rim.

    shots will start to fall.

    law of averages.

    the lead will come back.

    Bad end to the quarter! Gotta make those lay-ups. Maybe a power dribble and dunk, guys?

    2nd unit has to push the ball!! Too much half court at the end of that quarter..

    I wish Carlisle would put Rondo back in.


    Also... Rockets are just missing shots they should be making. They are playing better than the Mavs right now.

    That was an odd quarter. I'm not too concerned bcwe missed a billion lay ups and threes. I do worry a little about harden foul trouble, seeing as he has half our points.

    Calls aren't nearly as bad as Smith.

    Well, when you shoot 32% in the first quarter and find yourself down only 1, I guess you should be grateful. Ariza and Smith have to get it going. A combined 1-11 ain't gonna cut it.
