    Amazing we're only down 11 after how well they shot in that quarter.

    TNT doesn't believe in doing replays on controversial plays.

    A lot of their bench was in there. Lin, Casspi and Brewer were all in the game. It's our bench that is the scary part... :D

    It's close...it's tough when it's not end-of-quarter b/c the backboard (at least I don't think in HOU) doesn't light up at the 24sec clock, only end of quarter.

    tough to overturn.

    If Howard stays this aggressive its going to be a long game.

    If Joel is guarding Dwight and Mo is guarding Harden, that's all I need to know.

    The refs call a foul every time Dwight Howard makes a move to the hoop, and I don't see any foul, just a Lopez/Freeland trying to guard him.

    If we can just hold them to an average of about 25/quarter for the rest of the game, we have a chance.

    Recall that Houston put up 73 in the first half against OKC just 4 days ago, and finished with 92 for the game. They are prone to prolonged dry spells.
