The tone has been set, this is going to be a dogfight.

Wow, I haven't seen a low-scoring like this game since Detroit and SA played in the Finals in 2005.

This game is so boring. Doesn't even look like Cavs feel like playing. Maybe too much partying over the All-Star Break?

Cavs look terrible out there, Lebron included.

They played just enough defense to stay in the game but if they don't start making some outside shots, this will be a 10-12pt loss

Big 3pt shot by Larry - might get the Rockets to play more honest defense

It seems like Hughes has been our cure to the 3rd quarter collapse lately. And I know by acknowlege this Larry is now going to go out and get injured for the rest of the season so I take full resposiblity when it does happen ;)

I will say this, the Rockets have done some of the best guarding of LBJ I have seen in awhile...

Battier sticks with him, but the key has been Alston and his ability to read his passes extremely well...

Well the Rockets have been consistently kicking our ass this entire game.

We've been down 6-7pts every qtr and they haven't let up at all. Need a another miracle performance by LBJ to win this one

I agree about Lebron. He looks worn down to be. No explosiveness going to the basket. I think tonight is a perfect example of Cavs needing a trade. When James is contained, no one on this team can get themselves or others an open shot

Rockets kicked our ass handily. Yao and McGrady were pretty much terrible and they still beat us by 10+.

Must win coming up against Washington now

It could be a tough finish to the season if Ferry doesn't make some kind of move to improve the team. Lebron seems tired of having to play like a superhero every night

good game? both teams shot like crap.

Maybe because Houston won, but as games go this blew.
