The Rockets dropped Game 1, 93-82, despite 22 points from Shane Battier. Can they rebound in Game 2?

Well, the Rockets now find themselves in an 0-2 hole after yesterday's 90-84 loss to Utah.

And how about Tracy McGrady? He had 23 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists on the game, but as the AP reports, "he went 0-for-4 from the field and scored only one point in the final quarter. He scored 20 points in Game 1, but went 0-for-3 from the field in the fourth quarter of Utah’s 93-82 victory." So is he the team's great hope, or their goat?
