    I'm really proud of our Rockets. They played a hell of a game against the best team in the NBA with six guys on the injured list. Seven after Bowen went out of the game.

    This game brought a tear to my eye.... sniff.

    It was cool to see T-Mac with his arm around Head at the end. :D

    You can't really ask for a better shot than what Luther had. Sure you would like T-Mac to take it but he had 4 guarding him.

    I can't believe after all the crap we've had to watch over the last month or so that we just had two unbelievably exciting games to watch like that ... T-Mac is a sick, sick man.

    What a three by Head too .... too bad we just came up short in the end. I thought the officiating sucked tonight too.

    Cuban was right about the Pistons getting the benefit of the calls. Pistons had 40 freethrows tonight. That's crazy.

    What Luther should have done is pump faked because Mo Evans had already jumped to block the shot. He would have gotten 3 free throw shots.

    Its amazing that Head hits the fallaway 3 (with a guy in his face), but comes up short on the wide-open look.

    Also, that tip in was much closer to going in than anybody thought... hell, Bill was so exasperated after Head's shot didn't go in, he barely realized that the tip was right there, and would have counted as well.

    The future is bright for this team as long as they can stay healthy. I dunno if we'll make the playoffs this year, and I don't know if we owe any first round draft picks to anyone this draft, but if anything we should hopefully find another stud like Luther Head in the offseason. I hope we make a strong push towards the 8 seed, and even if that means us landing a high number draft pick.

    I am constantly amazed at the greatness of TMAC! He is driven to win, he has the heart of a champion. Even if the Rox don't make it to the playoffs this season, as long as TMAC is in the game the Rox have a chance to win and this team is exciting to watch. I hope Leslie realizes what he has and pulls all the stops to revamp this team with players that will help TMAC win it all.

    Rockets can walk off the court with their heads up today. I am proud of them. Good job.
