    Bottom line is our big two didn't get it done in the 4th quarter. McGrady had 4 or 5 assists in the 4th qtr, but missed too many layups. Yao had some nice dunks, but missed 5 straight free throws.

    Our defense was bad the last 2 minutes, we just needed to get more stops

    Yeah, isn't it against the rules to be out of bounds and strip the ball?

    That missed call on Finely slapping the ball while being entirely out of bounds was reminiscent of the refereeing in the entire series.

    FU**ING Pathetic:rolleyes:

    Yao for some reason having a Shaq-type night at the FT night. It is OK though, fatigue does that to players.

    What do we do now? JVG took T-Mac out to prepare him for the final shot if the lead is 3 or less. Who the hell do we foul? Why couldn't we make our freaking free throws!?!?!

    MAN, I'M SO F^*&^#$ PISSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well. The results are fixed in these games.

    Is NBA going to pay Rockets back for those bad calls.

    NBA needs to introduce review process the same as NFL.

    It also come down to waiting 3 quarters to finally figure out a way to attack the soft Mavs defense.

    Better spacing, and the Yao pick and roll (where Yao actually sets the pick, and doesn't let the defender run around it) has been almost as automatic as it comes.

    I expect nothing but this for the rest of the series from here on out. If the Mavs try to adjust, they won't be ready to play the fronting... and then you exploit that.

    I really think we spent too much energy trying to find our offense, that we had nothing left in the 4th quarter for defense.... we have to get easier shots, and the pick and roll gives us that opportunity.

    come on guys,

    think about next year. I can't think of any other team, other than the suns and Spurs, that is more hopeful.

    If Yao plays as he is in the playoff next year, 60 wins next year
