The game was Dallas for the taking. I mean is it really coincidence that the only run Dallas went on was an 11-1 run to force the overtime? Gimme a break.

I had to watch the game huddled around a small screen in the back room of my girlfriend's sister's house because they decided to have a social get together (I refuse to call what I just attended a "party") on a freaking game night.

Great win by the Rockets, but I am pissed at them for running at least 3 years off of my natural lifespan. That game never should have made it to overtime, but I'm glad to see that they maintained their composure and won.

OK, so we have managed to win without Scola, Ariza and now Landry when it counts the most. Major props to everyone for stepping up and covering for the guy who is missing.

I missed all of McGrady's time on the court. How did he look?

Nice win, needed this one. Lowry was amazing.

[Mr. E]

Funny thing I saw on Twitter:

@KDonhoops Landry has torn his ACL, been shot & seen his teeth become part of Dirk Nowitzki's arm in the last 3 yrs. Quit whining, Oden.

[Mr. E]

I never got to see the replays of that exhange with Kidd, Andersen & Thomas. How did they not call a flagrant on Kidd for that?

[fabio]

Just saw the highlights after following vias Yahoo stats. Great game indeed, and since this board has no love for my man Scola I'll cheer for him: yipeee!!!

[Teckon]

Missed this game!! have more important task to take care of my better half
Read the game report. Seem an explosive game and glad that Rockets won on Mavs home court!! Hope landry is ok to play next game

[MAD MAV MAN]

Good win for the Rockets. Congrats. I still think the officiating sucked, but that is neither here nor there. See ya'll in a couple of weeks.

[glydersid]

[Iggyemu]

Well Cuban will be appealing the officiating. Awesome owner..but whines way too much.

[YaoZaii]

oh i just saw the kidd attack on Anderson... did he take lessons from fisher?

kidd is such a punk. he just went down a few positions on my all-time favourite players.

[FoDrizzle]

Very nice Rockets win over those match-fixing Mavs! What's with JKidd picking on foreign white dudes now? I know he wants to be like his idol KG but c'mon, you are almost white yourself!

[Heat_team02]

Well Cuban will be appealing the officiating. Awesome owner..but whines way too much.

Last successful appeal

NBA grants protest requiring replay of Heat-Hawks game
Updated 1/11/2008 11:07 PM

For the first time since 1982, the NBA is sending two teams back to the court for a do-over.

The Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat must replay the final 51.9 seconds of their game last month because the official scorer ruled incorrectly that Shaquille O'Neal fouled out, the league said Friday.

The NBA said the replay will be held before the teams' next scheduled game: March 8 in Atlanta. Play will start from the time after O'Neal's disputed sixth foul, with the Hawks leading 114-111.

The Hawks also were fined $50,000, with Stern ruling the team was "grossly negligent" in failing to address the mistake.

well, he seems to have a lot of money for the luxury tax too.
