    My god, how many dunks has he had in the fourth quarter and overtime? Why do the Rockets refuse to foul? He has missed heaps of them in the fourth, yet they still allow dunk after dunk. Terrible strategy.

    I think Kenny ended up with only 2 fouls also. He was in position to foul Shaq when Shaq was either off balance or had the ball low--thus preventing the conversion, and didn't do it. He along with Kevin were probably the two strongest Rockets as well. I was dissapointed in that part of Kenny's game with the game on the line. Kevin did use his fouls though, can't complain there. It was the other Rockets, especially Kenny, that didn't help him out enough.

    Think they tried to foul him, but the refs just weren't calling anything last night (on both sides).

    Let the players play.

    Forget fouling Shaq...they should've fouled Lindsey Hunter every time he had the ball. That guy has a streak of Chris Dudley in him!:)

    ZRB,

    Damn good point-- I was screaming it at the game. The Rockets would not foul the guy, and when they did, they gave him 3 point plays like the opening possession of OT.

    Look, all I want to see is one of two things: either grab his arms, throw him to the floor, and something to stop him from scoring, or just let him make his moves and play defense. Don't just stand there like an idiot and give Shaq a tiny little slap on the wrist as he attempts a dunk or hook, like that's going to do anything. Either foul him hard and consistently, or play defense. None of this ridiculous slap on the wrist business.
