    For the second game in a row... if they had played with this much intensity to START the game, they wouldn't have been in this position.

    Sure, Minnesota is slacking a little... but the Rockets have improved the ball movement and shot-making.

    Completely disagree, he is taking the same EXACT shots as ANY other game, but he is just not making them. Everyone deserves a little slump, lord knows Yao had his this season, Wesley had his, etc.

    Deke is better than Yao now defensively. If Yao got injuried, Rox would not be in a slump because Deke can provide defensive help.

    Yao's rebounding is a major concern. If he could rebound like Deke,we wouldn't have been down by that much.

    After watching this game I would start Ryan Bowen at the 4 and rotate him with Padgett. Bowen can't score but he can at least defend pretty well. Hopefully Braggs will be able to be a decent role player for us as well.

    Too bad Deke has to play offense too. ;)

    You know guys? If I were Van Gundy, I would mix up the lineup a bit, to insert some intensity back on the team, and I would start the ONLY guy that seemingly brings it every night: Ryan Bowen.

    I would start: Yao, Bowen, Mac, Barry, Sura.

    Just to mix things up a bit. What you all think?

    I'd have to check, but I'm guessing this is T-Mac's worst game of the season.

    But man, James blew that 2-on-1.

    How disappointing. We got so many opportunities just now but could not make a single one!

    That's the penalty for only deciding to play hard with 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter... there's no room for error.

    That's pathetic performance by sura. Momentum is killed.

    If the Rox lose this game, everyone is to blame including JVG.
