    Come on Rockets faithful, give me some hope. Do you think we can muster the discipline to win 4/5?

    The Rockets issue rebounding has nothing to do with length or size.

    Charles Barkley was 6'6 and one of the best rebounders of all time going up against the Dream, the Admiral, Shaq, and Patrick Ewing.

    He knew how to put his ass in to the defender and get after the ball.

    If you watch Houston rebound, they don't box out. They are lazy once the shot is thrown up and stand around waiting for the ball to come down.

    There just needs to be more want to from them.

    DUBS have been BETTER on the road than at home. If the Rockets lose this game, it's likely over.

    well Charles is an all-time great...u can’t be bringing him up as a reference point

    u also can’t say that our rebounding issues have nothing to do with length and size...we were 28th in rebound rate for a reason

    the Rockets can have more want to and still not be that good of a rebounding team...we are old, short, slow, and start 3 guards

    They need to worry about one game at a time - we can worry about everything we want to!

    If we lose either of the next 2 games at home we're toast.

    However, if we can hold our own and win the next 2, it may bode well
    for taking the next one in Oakland. That's our only hope.

    We have to take one there and take away home court from them.
    Not a likely task of taking 3 in a row, but that's the only realistic way we can do this.

    I'm sure the Warriors really want to go for the sweep to send a message to us.

    The keys are better rebounding, less turnovers, make a decent amount of threes, and D'Antoni mixing and matching the right lineups that don't get exploited.

    Our Tuckwagon lineup beat their Hamptons 5 lineup last year. I don't know why we can't repeat the same thing this year

    Yeh, Rockets waste SO much time on offense, and are rarely ever actually setting anything up. Imagine if Golden State were actually "pushed" heh.... we can still dictate tempo AND not meaninglessly use up 20secs of shot clock every single possession. Our ISO ball is tooooo heavy, and even though it can be productive, I think ultimately earlier parts of the game are better when Harden/CP3 dont play at the same time.

    This has that scumbag Bogut written all over it.

    Frankly there is no other way to silence the wolf than winning the series. Insulate ourselves from noises like this is perhaps the best solution of all.

    FOCUS ON THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN CONTROL.
