    True. But you can't be results oriented in this situation. Van Gundy's refusal to call timeouts and chart plays is just horrible.

    Yao hasn't been missing and he's had something like 2 shots in the 4th

    Luther is very good at clutch 3's. Why not take a 3?

    If Luther gets a two....well....not great I guess..

    The game is not all about one play. Battier sucked. Bonzi sucked, Alston... I get no words for him.

    We don't take them because they're normally guarded... we don't make them because our guards are pretty streaky shooters.

    Why did Novak wait 4 seconds to foul? Everybody was screaming at him to do so.

    Three out of the last four games have been last second heartbreakers.

    Rockets just lose without TMac. Period. Sure, they can take a game down to the wire. They just can't finish. I wish Yao and supporting cast was enough. It just isn't. They just always seem to come up short.

    Meaningless score by Rafer. They'll miss on purpose and the game is over.
