    abosulety sad, fitting that we turned the ball over on our last possesion, when we turned it over throught out the game with boneheaded plays.

    ouch, that is luck right there. Howard tips the ball and it hits McGrady in his face.

    Tough luck T-Mac, it is just one of those game. It wasn't meant to be

    Come on guys. There's something surreal about the fact that refs call Houston for every ticky-tack foul all game long and then we Houston attempts to fould intentionally, the refs don't want to call it.

    I shouldn't post twice in a thread like this but I'm sorry - Van Gundy is the one getting outcoached in these games. He allowed Sura - who's hurting and too slow to guard Terry - too many minutes at the 1 in the first half. He's not pounded the ball into Yao when Dirk's guarding him. He has allowed the same team to stay on the floor when the offense stagnates instead of making a sub (hello - Padgett). Finally, Dallas has correctly reasoned that McGrady can't guard Dirk without wearing down over the course of the series. Dirk isn't guarding anyone and thus has plenty of energy. As a result, Dirk is now waking up while Tracy is breaking down.

    And Yao is soft - there's no question he doesn't deserve the max when you factor in his various Chinese team obligations, the rules changes that have all but eliminated the post game, and the obvious animosity the refs have for him. I don't care if he breaks out with a big game every 10 games or so - he's simply a dinosaur in the NBA.

    Now McGrady allows Howard to knock the ball off of him after the free throw. It's called throwing some elbows you stupid p***y.

    Like I said - this is the series. We have no chance after this.

    Well, I just felt the momentum shift.

    And Jason Terry, The refs, and Mark Cuban are leading the way...

    Do what? have the ball tipped from behind and hit him in his face and go out of bounds? It is called pure luck, it is called crappy refereeing, that is what it is called

    what a frustrating two home games. The execution in the fourth quater is atrocious...almost choke like. Memo for game 5: someone rotate over and put a hand in Terry's face!
