    At this point we need Ruffin to foul someone hard in front of the Rockets bench and try to draw Artest off the bench LoL

    Karma is bad and you should not tempt it. You should learn from certain members here who shit talked as the season was ending.

    Didn't see this coming but don't be too down guys. Young team, first game jitters, and Houston was just determined to win this game. Brooks won't be this hot for the rest of the series.

    Wow. I can't remember the last time we got beat like that anywhere, let alone at home. I hope they get angry. Somebody needs to. I hope Nate kicks the gatorade over. In any case, I expect a much better game on Tuesday.

    I'm still proud of what they've done this year.

    The reason you can't remember the last time we got beat like that is because we've never been beaten like that in 26 years of playoff appearences.

    Guess you missed the last dozen games where we played better than ever, especially the bench run by Sergio and completely without Bayless?

    But our problem is not the bench right now, our starters sucked and they sucked very badly at both ends, with only a few part-time efforts from a few players to mention. Only Joel, Rudy and Nic went all out on defense the limited minutes they were in.

    Lineup changes aren't what we need.

    We need to play the way we have been and the way we know we can, and I'm confident Nate will have gotten that message across by Tuesday.

    Bake it!

    It is only one game, guys. Don't stress now.

    I just didn't expect this bad of a blow out. It is okay, I think you'll rebound to make a series out of it.

    I was expecting this all day. Just had a gut feeling the guys would come out with jitters. If we were on the road we would've been blown out by at least 50 points. Great learning experience for the guys.

    I wonder if anyone who attended the game asked for a refund afterwards.
