Great win, I love GS's back court though, Baron Davis and JR are THE best back court in the league, bar none!!! Skills, power, physicality, they got it all. Let me know a better back court???!!!

Pistons back court and even San Antonio's back court can wipe the floor with BD and JR. Less flashy, but by far more fundamentally sound.

I love the way Parker and Ginobley go to the hole, but both of them are average shooters. I still think David and JR are better. Maybe we need a new thread to debate this. Rockets' back court are not nearly good enough to match up that is for sure.

I disagree with those saying the last play was called for McGrady, but he clearly was a pivotel part of the play (in that he was running around looking like he's trying to get the inbound pass so he can make a shot, which grabbed attention away from Head and other players on the court; he was the perfect decoy needed to make that play work). JVG clearly called that play for Head, with him inbounding to Yao and getting it back and making the shot; that was the idea all along.

Props to JVG on that play-calling, that's when top-tier coaches earn their money, IMO. More importantly, JVG called the game-tying shot for a rookie, signaling his faith in him and the team's faith in him (since McGrady had to approve that play as well and showed confidence in the youngster).

I think if anything, that one play signals to me that JVG and the Rockets have found their man in Luther Head, and the coach is going to lay more burden and responsibility on his shoulders, because he has confidence in his ability to handle the pressure.

I was very pleased with that, and this game if anything shows the resilliance of this team and (dare I say it?) the resurrection of it's "us against the world" mentality that they had last season, that fighting spirit that loudly declares to the whole league "We ain't going nowhere, we ain't done yet."

Props to the Rox, and even DW and RyBo who played terrible earlier in the game and made some costly mistakes came up clutch in the finals few minutes of the game.

Now THIS is starting to look a lot more like a "team" and not just a collection of individuals.

The last play WAS called for TMac. Watch ESPN Motion post game interview.

I went to the game today and it was quite exciting since we came back and Luther hit a clutch three hahaha crazy. There was maybe a good 40 Rocket Fans in the place. I had me and about 9 sitting behind me so we were just going crazy when we tied the game. Yeah the Rockets need to defend the perimeter more we keep defending the paint too much. The Warriors had so many open shots it was disgusting. I respect Van Gundy but he keeps putting in the most random people I swear to god HAHA. I mean Moochie? out of all people he put in Moochie. Also I didn't understand why Bowen was in late in the game when we were losing by 8 or 10. I would naturally assume he'd put in offensive players to put some points on the board. Oh last thing, Juwan Howard plays like crap now.

Hmm we had like 7 sitting to our right with a 7 letter yao sign and the people in front of us seemed kinda like rockets fans...
