    How many Clutchfans' suicide attempts will there be during halftime?

    That was a decent end to the half. Come on guys! We got this! Play smart!

    They withstood the Monta Ellis fluke game pretty well, but the defensive effort is terrible.

    Sorry excuse for defense I'm sad to say...it's unreal that this kind of effort would show up tonight. It's kind of like "mailing it in". I may owe and apology to the guy who said we lose tonight and win game 4. I still think we win. The middle of the lane is OPEN all night on PNR and just in general if we care to exploit it. Ariza is "maggie's drawers" tonight.

    That's an insane amount of points combined for a half.

    Neither team playing any defense really.

    If Houston clamps it down we win this easily.

    We are only down 7. Mavs had their run, now we have to make ours.

    We just too horrible shots that lead to easy buckets for them. We have to be get our shots, not settle for quick shots. Defense has to be alert. Do this and we have this game.

    Dwight might have to play the whole 2nd half. No more Josh and Jones out there. Neither really want to rebound or protect the paint. We need either Capela or Howard out there at all times!

    Not until the final score = Houston win.
    If we just win this one game. Just this one single game its a guaranteed playoff series win. At least historically.

    good close but daam they need to play defense in the 2nd half. 70 pts for the mavs in one half, unacceptable. dwight hasnt done much so i expect him to go off. the offense is there, james is shooting good, but wow the defense completely vanished

    The rockets should think about getting Nick Johnson in when JJ Barea is in. He may do a little better job of staying in front of Barea vs Prigioni.

    So the Mavs came out at home and PUNCHED us in the mouth. This should surprise no one, really.

    This is where superior teams make the simple adjustments and let their superior talent take over in the 2nd half.

    We've got this.

    Also, Mavs got pretty lucky with Aminu and Ellis hitting threes. Let's see if they can keep it up.

    Encouraging to see Harden playing well, at least. Rockets just need to give a single damn about defense. Tie it by the 4th quarter. Win it in the end.

    No Rondo, no fatty Felton. It's addition by subtraction.

    Guys, have some faith, we still have a 2nd half... thankfully this is a lot better rockets team than from recent years.

    I'm fairly sure our problems lie on the defensive end.
