    This game finally got the ole blood pumping. First time I've felt the jitters since the World Series.

    That awful first half defensive effort had me more than a little nervous, but we played like the best team in basketball in the end.

    Congratulations on the 4-1 win! Go Houston Rockets! Gotta keep on working hard, and most of all believing in yourself! Let's hope Utah and OKC goes to 7 games.

    I'd rather take a hot shooting team that finally found its rhythm over bringing Moute back who we don't really need until the Warriors.

    Hell of a game for the surrounding cast around Harden. THat's how it's supposed to be. Mix of inside and threes. Passing was amazing in this one.

    Yes...want Jazz BUT, it was very good to take that series another game. We'll just rest up while they play their ass off not to go back to OKC.

    Towns never made his presence felt in this series...this was not an impressive series for him

    it was his 1st time in the playoffs, but he should’ve been better

    T'Wolves are the legitimate 3rd seed in the West when healthy.

    2 current All-Stars
    2 former All-Star guards
    1 former MVP
    3 former first overall draft picks
    2 former MIPs
    1 3x 6th Man of the Year
    Former Coach of the Year

    and I'm sure I've missed other things. That's a good team over there, and I'm glad we handled our business.

    This wasn't a normal 8th seed; this team was a 3rd-4th seed when they had Jimmy

    I wanted the Rockets to close this game out so very badly, and they didn't disappoint! This is in stark contrast to the Jazz, who had a 25 point lead and blew it like a $15 motel hooker.

    Now granted, I didn't watch the game because I was watching the Rox play, but that really shows the comparative inexperience of the Jazz (and judging by the stats, Russ and Playoff Pee played well too)

    Either way, the Rockets now have ample time to rest, relax, and prepare for Game 1 of Round 2. I'm looking forward to seeing their opponent.

    There’s a lot of bitterness here in Minnesota.. Most were expecting the Twolves to lose but that first half gave them some hope only to have it crushed in the second..
