    If we really wanted to win this "game" or series we would have gone blitzkrieg on these guys. By the ticker down by 4, is no where what we want a start to be.

    It would be pretty sad being swept at home by refs or not.

    When have we ever gone "blitzkrieg" on anybody...

    Don't worry.... if we play this game with this much intensity the entire game, it will most definitely be a blowout.

    Add to that, TNT quadruples the commercials during overtime, so a 5 minute period lasts the entire 1st quarter. Yesterday the double OT went past halfway through the beginning of our game.

    10 minutes of OT = 20 minutes of regular play?????

    TNT sucks.

    I don't blame TNT for not switching over. That's understandable. You can't leave a game in OT.

    I do, however, blame them for the asinine scheduling. Why not put 3 hours per game?

    Consider the NFL playoffs. During the regular season, the networks typically alot 3 hours per NFL game. For the playoffs, though, they budget 3 and a half hours per game, since you would never, ever, want to miss any playoff action. You just sandwhich in a pre/postgame show in between the two games.

    Also, consider that TNT already has a postgame show. If that postgame show is moved in between the early game and the late game, I guarantee it gets better ratings.

    SO MAD!

    Rockets may have just lost the game in that sequence of plays...first two Rockets players don't grab the loose ball, then Yao commits a stupid 2nd foul.......

    They both assumed that the other was going to get it.....

    I don't want any ASSUMPTIONS in a freaking elimination game.... you fight your own teammate for the ball if you have to... but get that damn ball!

    The refs let us bang Dirk a little bit without calling anything, but I guess that was their quota, b/c I think Dirk will now get every call for the rest of the night.
