Awesome comeback! Rockets just wont die EVER !!!!!!!!

Gotta come out strong in the 3rd quarter.

Btw, early foul trouble sucked. Few calls were questionable and others were just bone headed plays by Houston.

When rockets play 1 starter and 4 bench players, it gives a false impression that the team has given up and the opponent also send in their bench only to discover the rockets bench is as strong as the rockets starters when they lose their lead or reduce their lead forcing the opponent to quickly bring in their own starters.

Seem like the momentum has swung to rocket's favor. Just keep the intensity.

Poor lowry has to play with scrubs even he was doing well in trying to make the come back. Adelman should let Brooks play with the scrubs in losing game if Brooks is not performing

Ariza pisses me off every night, I've come to the point where I can't stand him, and even when he makes a shot I end up yelling at the TV because it's guaranteed that he's going to miss the next five or six shots in a row. That's the only consistent part of his game, that he's going to chuck, and he's going to miss.
