Mac decided to win the game in the third quarter, he was hitting shots from everywhere.

I really have to give props to the Sonic commentators, they're real unbiased and give good analysis.

Imagine all 3 teams, laker, suns and rockets have the same win-loss records but Laker own the tie breaker over suns and win the division thereby getting the 3rd seed. Suns own the tie breaker over rockets and get 5th seed so rockets is 6th seeds. What happen to Home court advantage between Rockets and Lakers if Rockets has the tie breaker over Lakers?

I didn't see much of the game last night, walked in just in time to see McGrady throw a wide-open Landry a lookaway pass that he didn't even come close to dunking.

I left at half-time because it was so bad.

The problem with the Rockets and this is a big problem...we get off to terrible starts. Usually b/c McGrady gets off to terrible starts although the PHX game was an exception where Mac started well and nobody else did. But anyway...we get off to terrible starts and it hurts us. It seems that if we stay in a game up until half-time we come out in the third with the energy effort you would you would expect from a good team and McGrady comes out the gates like a star player should. I have seen that in every game but the BOS and LA game.

The problem with this type of thing is that against good teams...if you don't start well you get down too much in the first and have to play double digit catch up for the rest of the game. So I dunno what it is...but we can't get off to the starts we do an expect to compete in a playoff series against any of those teams. Right now...1-8. We are the weakest link. That 22 game win streak though has given a shot at HC...the problem is...the team doesn't realize that and continues to mess around against teams they should beat.
