    Upload the game please asap !! :cool:

    I haven't seen the game but finally the three point shooting improved and we won the 4th quarter. Two things i beforehand said we need to improve and i'm glad they did. However, they should've never let it get this close cause the Sonics are a losing team. I can't wait to see the game to see what went wrong and what they need to work on but i'm definetly happy about the 47% three pointers.

    In my memory, T-mac has not done a good job on the line since the start of this season, that is the part is needed to improve by him, nothing related to his role in offense tonight...

    What he said was "...we always have to make it hard, it seems like." Yeah, that sounds a little pissed off to me because you have to take it in context. It's coming when Adelman's talking about a win. Instead of simply praising his team he's throwing a little criticism out there, and it's the same criticism he's been bringing up over and over again, with almost the exact same wording.

    I think I'm gonna go ahead and I say I'm gonna agree to disagree here. I don't think he was pissed, just a little exasperated. The Rockets are getting there, bit by bit, in my opinion.

    Head should start ahead of Bonzi, if T-mac comes off the bench.

    Ok, I know we're all starting to sound like a broken record, but TMAC HAS TO MAKE HIS FT's! He should have been practicing them for the 11 game stretch when he was out since that's all his body would let him do. But no, TMAC's lazy ass just sat around I'm sure.

    I don't know what it is, but he was nervous last night at the line, which is understandable then again he needs to giet it together because a great team like the Spurs would've taken the Rockets out, but wasn't there a report on here about some Rockets staff member working wwith Tmac on ft's when he was injured?

    Anyhow props to him though for coming through in the clutch.

    I woke up at 4 in the morning to watch the game, and this was one of the best games I've seen in a while.
    I felt real good all day, thanks to T-Mac and this miraculous win.

    The 4th quarter was unbelievable, we were down big, I really thought like all of you that it was over (I was going to bash Adelman bigtime), Seattle had their fans, they wanted this win real bad.
    T-Mac took over in the 2nd half. He carried this team, and proved he was a competitor and a leader. All his shots were falling, he was IN THE ZONE in the 3rd. And late in Crunchtime, he was CLUTCH ! He was so good that we almost forget his 1of6 FT shooting.
    And he is still injured, but he gave all he had (had some bad plays too), attacked the basket and distributed the ball.
    T-Mac showed he is still one of the better players in the NBA.

    To me this game will be remembered, because the Rockets were going to lose a game that would really hurt the team, before 3 big games. They won, and this win was so special. It gives us momentum and confidence.

    I can't wait tomorrow game in Portland, this could be an awesome game, and a must-win in the Playoff race.

    Fair enough, but I didn't say "pissed". I said "a little pissed".

    Tmac proved he's the man tonite and can go off.

    I think I like Tmac better when he's hurt because some reason he attacks the basket more often...

    I was a little peaved he didnt' try to get yao the ball knowing Yaos the best FT shooter on the team, but in Tmacs defense he was trying to step up as the closer so it's good too see he's got the will to win

    Props to batkins for the cap.

    This play really made me jump out of my seat. What a beautiful play, the pumpfake, the stepback and the 3 at the end of the possession. In the Clutch. Classic T-Mac.

    The reason why T-mac played so good and hard last night is because of Durant. A lot of ppl compare him with T-mac. And Durant did play very well. T-mac was trying to show everyone that he's still better than Durant.
