    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting durvasa:</div><div class="quote_post">How about that performance by T-Mac in the second quarter? He shuts down two different players (Nowitzki and Stackhouse), zips passes into the lane like he's Magic, drives and dunks in traffic like he's Jordan, and hits clutch three pointers with guys all over him like he's Bird. Amazing. With a performance like that, we just have to win this game. Lets go Rockets!</div>
    T-Mac aint no Bird or Jordan, he is not other ppl
    he is T-Mac The Answer

    End of the 3rd and the Rockets are playin like they want to go home. Yao is looking pathetic and is not helping T-Mac in the least. Hit some damn free-throws, please. These guys are making Dirk look like the Dikembe of old. How many blocks at the end of the 3rd, 3 or 4?

    Yao is killing us once again, look at his stats at the end of 3rd

    Yao Ming PT 8 FG 3-7 FT 2-6 TOT 5 TO 3

    Yao really had a bad game, but we're leading 94-80 right now with 4 minutes to play. If we can just continue to knock down shots then we will win this game. Jon Barry is hot in the 4th. T-mac is as hot as usual so nothing unordinary from his 35 points so far tonight =)

    Well.......what a difference a half quarter can make. They decided to put in players who have experience and heart. Barry is doing awesome right now. Mutombo is turning back the clock. One reason I'm a fan of Dike is becuase he really takes pride in defending the lane. He may be older, but he still has that length. Am I the only one who looks forward to the "Hand Gesture" that the Rockets do after 3 pointers? They even have fans doing it. I love it.

    I'm also looking forward to that hand gesture, but sometimes we can get too confident after doing that and it hurts us a lot.

    Btw, it is a blowout game by almost 20 points. Rocket's bench really lift the team when Yao had a really awful game. We're going for 19-0 run in the 4th. It proves that we can also do the same thing the mavs did in game 3 and 4..

    And that punk josh howard was ejected and dampier also.. that just made my day

    Hopefully we can repeat this 4th quarter play in dallas on saturday..

    HUGEEEE win by Houston. Just got back from school and to see us with a huge win is always a good way to end the week. McGrady is the man. He carried the team with his trademark allaroundness. The next game being the decider, its gonna be one hell of a game.

    DEKE did the amazing shutoffs on the defensive END..and TMAC and lil from JB did it on the OFFENSE of the 3s that we really needed. We need to bring the momentum to the last game. Let's DEKE them again!

    Great game by the Rockets tonight. Our bench lift us up tonight. Mutumbo, Barry and James came up big to overcome a bad game by Yao. What happened to his FT shooting? I hope he doesn't carry it over to game seven. TMac is in his usual self. Dominating the Mavs defenses with his hot 3 pt shootouts. We're still alive and kicking Rockets fans!

    Just FYI, In the post game conference, Avery Johnson was complaining about the excuses from Houston about the lost in game 5, and wondering why the media didn't focused on the game rather than things outside the court that happened. I didn't hear him quite well but it looks like he's pretty mad.

    They need Mooch to come in earlier and pop Josh Howard in the grill.. he better have that mouthpiece in when he does. Still a sloppy 3 quarters tho. They need to work on their ball handling for sure as well as their free throw shooting. I am glad Mike James and Jon Barry stepped up. Oh.. and what's up with Wesley? He has been pretty bad lately. I also hate how when the rox take shots.. they take off and no one even tries for a rebound. We so need a good rebounding pf. Hopefully Sura is over his flu for the next game.. his rebounds will surely help.

    Yeah, I saw that. He was pretty steamed and somewhat incoherent. He was implying that the Rockets were complaining too much about officials, but then it all started with Mark Cuban sending in his officiating complaints to the league office. He complained about the Houston Chronicle not focusing on the game itself. Well, it just so happens that our coach was given a historic fine. I think that deserves some attention as well. And why on earth would the Houston Chronicle be writing about how great the Mav's 3 game winning streak is? I don't get it. Maybe a Mavs fan could shed some light on his thinking .

    Best Day of My Life!

    So it's 1:30 mins until tipoff. Im wating at home for the game to start. Out of nowhere my friend calls and says hes got tickets to the game and invites me. Of course I say yes. The tickets were ok. They were behind the basket and in the upper level. But I didnt care because I was there. During the 1st qtr the announcer says that some guys will be patroling the upper level for crazy fans. If they chose you, you got to go to the Tundra Zone Suite. They come to my section and I start cheering my butt off. The guys spot my friend and pick us to go! So we got to the suite and watch the game from some of the best seats in the house. We got to watch a really good game in which WE WON!

    I had such a good time tonight and right now I can barely talk. Now it's time for the Rockets to go back to Dallas and Win this series!

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Shooter:</div><div class="quote_post">With two days off and after a subpar game 5, I expect TMac to play HUGE tonight, somewhere along the lines of 40 points...And with all the JVG talk and controversy, I expect our fans to show up as well, and I think we'll be playing on energy and adrenaline...I think the Rockets pull this one out, and I actually think they'll win it by 7-10 points...We need Padgett, Weskley and Barry to hit big 3s, and James needs to be the spark that he's been in game 1 and game 5...Control the 3s by Dallas, dont foul and control the defensive boards, and we're heading back to Dallas...</div>

    TMac: 37 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 6-10 3s
    Padgett/Wesley/Barry: 3-6 on 3s
    James: 22 points, 4 rebounds, 7-11 shooting in 28 minutes
    Dallas: 7-26 on 3s
    Dallas: 14-17 Fts (Houston 20-25)
    Dallas still got 14 offensive boards, but we tied the rebounding at 43 apiece


    Man, I can predict the future [​IMG] ...J/K, but a great win for our Rockets...especially considering Yao was MIA for most of the game...Game 7 will be a CLASSIC, I cant wait!!

    Man when Howard commited that foul on Yao, I swear, I thought Yao was gonna eat him for a snack. Lol i loved it.

    Great win for the Rockets. They just need to keep their head up, Barry, James, Deke need to be huge in the next game, and so does Yao. Yao needs to just remember what he's capable of and show it.
