    It's hard to swallow that MAVS are the better team....but man Rockets just did it to themselves the past 3 games...they just don't get it...

    YEah exactly.

    On both points.

    MJ i know you can csore you've made like 6-7..but now is the time to go to Yao..or Tmac..especially when you don't know what you're getting into and just turn it over instead.

    And then switching on Dirk..it's both Tmac and James' faults. I'm sorry..but that's bad defense. I would switch...but then James should know Tmac likes to lean back and just give person some space..which is totally wrong...I think Tmac's defensive positioning..being at the wrong spot..what Stevie Franchise used to do...has allowed the Mavs to knock down some shots even when Tmac has sprinted at them and jumped to contest the shots.

    Tmac is MVP though no doubt..maybe Yao too...but Tmac seriously should play team defense and help out and keep up and practice basic defensive triangle thing between man and basket

    Wrong. It might have been the right call, but that's not how it was called by the ref standing right there in front of it.

    It was reversed by the ref that was nowhere near the play. The ball went out of bounds on the opposite side of the players from that ref. Regardless of whether it was the right call, how can HE reverse it?

    Ball needs to go into Yao on this possession coming out of the timeout.

    Stackhouse out of the game in favor of Howard...that might not be a bad thing for the Rockets.

    TMac with one shot in this 4th quarter.

    Yao doesn't touch the ball, Barry misses the three, TMac misses a putback layup (man, he's having a terrible game).

    How many layups are the Rockets going to miss in this 4th quarter.

    Yao to the line for two free throws, but he misses both free throws.

    Btw, why is Barry in the game in favor of Sura?

    If we lose this game, we have nothing to blame but ourselves, missed free throws, missed layups and a lack of defensive rebounding have killed us.
