    I have to admit - I had lost a little faith in McGrady in the pinch .... great job knocking down those free throws.

    I think a lot has to do with the style we play too. If you're only scoring 89 a game there's a good chance you're gonna play in quite a few tight games.

    Man... Dunlavey must have been high when he designed that play.

    Or, it must have been one of those "4am in the morning" plays...

    Normally, when you blow out another team... its also because they're not playing hard at all. (regardless of how your team scores)

    We've gotten pretty good "efforts" from every team we've played so far... I'm not saying we're entitled to it, it would just be nice to see every now and then.

    These close games have a lot more to do with the mental aspect of it. The way we played Memphis was a nail biter. But we held on for the win. Each game was tough! But we kept fighting.

    Tmac and Yao CLOSING OUT GAMES are a must.

    The Clippers sure do have a lot of young talent. Magette, Brand, Simmons, Wilcox, Livingston, Jaric. It's amazing how this team always seems to be loaded with young talent but they're never all that good. It's also kind of scary that they just seem to be all around better than the Rockets. Sure, we've got the big two, but they've got so many weapons.

    Tracy just missed another layup.....he looked like he had a clear look.....did he lose control of the ball as he let it go?

    "Big defensive play for Maurice Taylor!"

    Now that's something you don't often hear. :D

    He was halfway between a dunk and a layup.... give Brand credit for making him change the shot.

    I thought it sounded more like "Tracy McGrazy" which I think I prefer. :D

    Thank you for stopping the slide, JVG's job should be saved at least for another game.

    This is arguably the best for TMac this year. Those 2 clutch free throws at the end of regulation were sick. They were nothing but net.

    Once again, Yao is a POS this game. He lets the officials dictate a 100% how he plays the game. Yao gets treated like an NBA superstar by the refs in Houston, but he gets treated like a weak ass roleplayer on the road.
