    Clutchfans--Been reading here for years in the shadows--but this comeback compelled me to join!

    So I was hunkered down here in Guam as Typhoon Dolphin approached. Storm shutters closed, supplies inventoried, and everything charged up. My only hope was that the power didn't go out until after the game ended. And boy was I rewarded! Never lost power despite the 100+ mph winds--and our team goes historic!!

    Now for game 7--I really hope it's an evening game which I can watch here at 1030a. If it's early, I might be pulling an all nighter! Either way--Go Rockets! How Sweet It Is!!

    I remember seeing us play defense like this awhile back WITH harden in the game
    It was crazy cause harden was the one who intiated it. And it was better than this
    harden has long arms for a gaurd and when his arms are actually moving around and disrupting there offense its actually damn good

    Two words Kevin Mchale. He made the adjustment of the season NOT to play the teams MVP.
    Plus he instilled confidence in Smith to head up the comeback. Also Harden stepped aside when he was not effective and showed support for his coaches decision and TRUSTED his teammates. Class act.

    What made it extra crazy was that in our other 3 losses, once the blowouts started, the floodgates were open for good. And that certainly looked to be the case here, and no reason to realistically expect otherwise.

    Even when we got it down to 9 in the 4th, then 5 a couple times, I was like "ok, thanks for the tease, now it's just more aggravation when they run it back up to 20". but nah.

    Just shocking and surreal. It went from absolutely hopeless to a double-digit win all too fast to even process. It made no sense. It still doesn't. And no harden. And in LA.

    Finish it off today, boys.

    Now that Rockets have actually advanced

    This makes it an EVEN GREATER comeback

    Woulda been a bit anti-climatic if Rockets eventually fizzled out, and we'd always have to talk about "What-If" of Rockets losing Game 1 without Paul

    But they MADE UP FOR IT with a GREAT comeback and series win

    :)

    Something like that should be a tech. Just noticed that it looks like he is about to fall off his back and flail his arms as if he was fouled. lol

    Should have been a flagrant-1. Howard could have re-injured his back
