    So the May Day Massacre is actually a story from the King Arthur legends wherein Merlin tells Arthur that there is going to be a challenger to his throne and kingdom, so as a result he arranges the death of the children of all of his potential rivals on May Day (an old holiday we don't celebrate in the US, which falls on May 1st)

    Let's make this happen ClutchFans. This day should be remembered.

    Kind of just hit me that we watched one of the greatest singular Rockets performances of all time.

    Not if we lose the series. So we shouldn't use this until we win 4.

    maybe after 3 more wins in the same fashion in this series. Not before. Don't think for a moment they won't come back fired up. You saw how they resorted to trying to get the refs involved and slowing down the game as well as trying to get our players ejected. We need to finish these guys off quickly because GS is going to kill the Jazz and be well rested.

    People in America used to put flowers on old people's porch on May Day. Maybe the old timers on the Spurs remember that.

    Yes, that was yet another legendary Rockets playoff game. We all remember the Mothers Day Massacre in 2009. Carl Landry dunk all over the Lakers. Never Forget.

    I'm glad Dedmon was ejected although the refs should have done it sooner. Good for Pat for baiting him
