    If the Blazers don't at least come out and do what the Rockets have done I will be furious.

    Come out and play with tons of intensity to get an early lead on your home court. Don't let the opposing team come into your home and run over top of you like the Mavericks let the Thunder.

    If there's one thing that's pissed me off about our series with the Clippers it's not the misses, it's not the turnovers, it's the fact that I feel like the Clippers are hustling harder. It's that hustle that I thought would win us this series, and so far it's like the guys don't care. Dive for every lose ball, even if you don't think you can get it. Be scrappy and determined, fight for every ball.

    If they don't come out diving for every loose ball what do the fans do to get to the players? Chant "We wan't hustle"?

    Lots of empty seats in Houston. Pathetic.

    Harden yells at Howard, Howard shakes his head in disagreement, at the same time he has a smirk on his face that says "man you don't know what the hell you are talking about, stop blaming me".

    Reggie Miller is an idiot. Poor Kevin Harlan.

    Rockets feeding off their home crowd. Hopefully, we play like this on Saturday.

    Sometimes, there aren't a lot of loose balls to dive for.

    Doesn't say much for the one's that they didn't hustle for.

    We got out hustled by the Clippers in game 2. With how young and athletic we are we should not be getting out hustled by anybody. I can recall at least 3 occasions in game 2 when I was asking myself why a player wasn't going for a loose ball, twice it was Plumlee.

    Barkley has guaranteed a 10 point Warrior win tonight. This could kill any credibility he ever had if Rockets win.

    Predictions maybe, but guarantees? There's a difference.

    Bogut is such an instigator.
