Game's not over! Barry finally knocks in a three (guess that's why he's in the game instead of Sura), and the lead is down to 3. Rockets have scored 8 in a row.

Dampier is out of the game, meaning Dirk is on Yao. Yao should really be touching the ball on every possession if TMac isn't going to get a good open look.

Imagine if several of their "in and out" shots stayed down. We can't worry about the past. It's -3 with about 3 to go. The Rockets can pull this out!

They need to stop the celebrating and concentrate on winning the game. Terry is hitting the big shots and keeping his cool. We need to do the same.

The Rockets get ONE more chance to try their best to make the right Dallas guy shoot, and it's not, I repeat NOT Terry or Finley. Or at least not Terry.

Try to make stackhouse shoot if he is in the game. The guy plays tight.

i will murder whoever is guarding terry if they leave him open for a 3 this possession and he hits it. i don't care if he hits one right in your face, but if he gets left open to kill our momentum, then i can't be held responsible for my actions.

Yao needs to stop missing the big FT. This entire season he has chocked at the line on crucial FTs

Yes, no excuse not to get to the basket on drives to either score or open up shooters, or get it to Yao in the post.

If Mikes James, Jon Barry, Bob Sura, or any of the other role players start dribbling around and taking jumpers, I will hang myself tonight.

Who is Yao guarding on defense? Howard?

Watch what Dirk does on every posession... the refs freaking ANTICIPATE a call for him.

Whereas Yao and T-mac must play thru the physicality because they're better than that.

Steve Kerr even calling out the refs now... THEY'RE ALL AGAINST YOU STERN!

TMac picks up his 5th foul on a Dirk drive, and Dirk heads to the line for two, pushes the lead back up to 5.
