    Doesn't being in a zone automatically mean you can't be stopped? As in, whoever's in a zone cannot be stopped, right?

    But yes, when T-Mac attacks the rim he's unstoppeable. It's not some magical or mystical thing called "the zone". It's directly correlated with free throw attempts for him.

    His teammates need to step up and not look like chickens with their head's cut-off when they deny T-mac the ball. (ahem... Luther Head).

    So far, the depth of Dallas is killing us... Stackhouse and George are LIGHT YEARS away from our best/only bench player (Luther Head).

    The role players really need to stand up in the 4th. I can't see Houston keeping up with Phoenix after tonights game so they must go all out to get the win here

    Agreed, but bench is overated.....for the most part...those players only play about 20% or less of the game......as long as Tmac can play 40 tonight, we can win it.

    Couldn't agree more.

    Or at least don't reward people who are just looking for the foul/flop...but this is the NBA so that won't be happening.

    Rockets and play up close and let Mutombo erase drives when hes in there, without them they have to overguard the middle

    I hope that if we don't manage to pull this game out you guys don't freak out and start saying how awful the Rockets are. They are playing against the best team in the NBA right now on their home floor. If the Rockets win, it will be an upset, regardless off what we tink of them or the Mavs.

    And I freaking hate the Mavs.

    They've made a bunch of open jumpers...we've allowed them to make a bunch of uncontested jumpers in the 3rd, that's why we're trailing.

    You just don't give a team like Dallas a breather, you can't relent with these guys or you lose.

    i know it doesn't look so bad, but i'm going off momentum here.

    the mavs are rolling and the rockets look like they can't find any points. when the mavs go small (which they might for the rest of the game) then we are cooked.

    He will play 40... he just played all of the 1st and 3rd quarter, and only got about a 5 minute rest in the 2nd quarter.

    But, when the Mavs keep coming at you with waves of surges by DIFFERENT players... while we have just one... it tends to catch up with you (even if that one is superman tonight).

    T Mac has done all he can. We need some other players to step up to win this game...

    T-mac actually shouldn't attack from the beginning. He should let other players score in the first half, then he can take it over on the second half.
    Well, anyway, let's hope T-mac can score 20 in the 4th quarter.
