    Why doesn't T-Mac just drive to the basket like Artest was doing...I mean at the least you'll be at the FT line. To me he just seems timid whenever Pierce or even Garnett is guarding him.

    We got back in the game, but I hope everyone is noticing how our lack of height is a big problem. We've missed out on tons of rebounds just for being undersized. We need Mutombo or someone over 6'11" IMMEDIATELY.

    AB is what we wanted Mike James to be, the job we wanted Mike James to do except he's BETTER at it. Aaron needs to stay on the bench for that ultimate firepower.

    Why can't these refs just let them play and stop calling every ticky tack fouls. It's like watching WNBA.

    This half showed we can do everything. But we just need to play with effort.

    Btw bad news is that they still have 5pt lead. Ray's jumper is back so we CAN'T leave him open. We gotta continue playing that tough defense and don't rush shots on offense.

    Good to see Tracy's jumper comming back, but I wanna see him attacking the rim and shooting free throws. Yeah I know this is tough against that defense but he can do that.

    We just gotta come out focused for the 2nd half and play D. Hopefully we can win this one.

    i loved the fight, i thought we were dead in 2nd qtr, but when their defense is coached in front of their bench, it gonna be ugly for the rockets. hope we can prevail otherwise we have the whole season to work on things

    Celtics were very active in rebounding. We need to do a much better job protecting the paint. Imagine if Deke was there...

    True, now let's come out firing in the 3rd !! I wish we could see what goes on in the locker room, RA needs to tell his guys to man up and get some freaking rebounds. Artest needs to stop shooting jumpers, take it strong to the hole. The 3pt shooting is terrible.

    See, Chris Webber understands, we need Mutombo badly.
