    Thank God for the emergence of Capela. Because Jones and Smith look horrible. Really missing D-Mo.

    plain and simple, role players need to start making some shots in the second half.

    that's all it will take to win, they are getting good looks, just put them in.

    That's what I'm thinking. The Rockets played a pretty bad half overall, yet they're actually leading. If they can get at least a couple of guys other than Harden going in the 2nd half, they could run away with this thing. It would help if the refs would stop rewarding the Mavs for all of these flops.

    Dirk would flop against a toddler girl. No shame. I think I have even seen him flop after tripping himself.

    Forget about free throw, they need to practice layup.

    4'8 and 80, but he may still flop on his step back

    Ariza: 1-7
    Jones: 1-6
    Smith: 1-5
    and Rockets is still leading 53-51 at half time.

    Rather not risk having Harden getting a third foul there. I'm fine with jones attacking nowtizki

    Scooby has a one track mind. Especially when he gets the ball close to the basket. If I ever see him kick it out to an open guy instead of going up in a crowd I'll be shocked.

    I haven't crucified him for it yet though since he's usually a really good finisher.

    No doubt. It makes me sick watching Rondo wresting Harden, like they're playing football, while Dirk gets a light brush for a foul on the other end.

    i can't see how the first thing you all complain about is the refs when we're carrying so much dead weight out there. with osh smith it was like 4 on 5. same for tjones.

    haha at the thought of dmo not being better than those two. ridiculous.

    i like capela. wait until he gets stronger.

    Honestly, I can't stand NBA officiating, but this game is fairly reffed so far. Smith sucking and our layups not dropping are the only reasons the game is close.
