    Prepare to be shocked. The underdog will prevail - we just want it more.

    Iggy was their worst plus minus guy against the Rockets.

    We all need to learn that the line doesn't mean much other than what the public thinks.

    Defense is going to win them this game. Losing CP3 is not a death blow to the Rockets.

    The public doesn't make the line. It does mean a lot. Losing an elite player like cp3 when you're playing GS is extremely tough. I see a lot of people wanting to overlook that a bit. No idea why

    Exactly. Losing CP3 is incalculable. I hope our team is ready. Take the opening punch in the mouth and recover. Play super aggressive on defense and loose on offense. I see a game 7 but would love to be wrong.

    Same man. I'm seriously ready to party on immediate results of a W tonight if they shock the world.

    Damn, you are always talking like a know-it-all. Your opionion isn't fact. He's stating that the Worriers currently don't have the confidence cause we knocked them out two games in a row and are shaking at the knees. Get off your high horse.

    Rockets vs World and the Refs. We can do this, I like playing as underdog.

    Even after winning game 5, don’t act like we aren’t still the underdogs!

    To me, I don't think Morey thinks we're gonna win game 6 either. Probably why we were so quick to declare CP3 out. By his calculations it's probably a pretty low chance that we win today and that the chances are bigger in game 7. Come on guys, we're not beating the defending champion 3 times in a row, especially without CP3.

    if paul being out gets their guard down like it was in game 2 when they came out cocky and just went through the motions, then we have a chance. we won by 20+ and wouldn't need paul if that were the case tonight. i'd take my chances with a hungry and motivated rockets team vs a sloppy and overly confident gsw team tonight.

    So what some of you are saying is lay down and take it. Give gsw all the swagger going into game 7? Naw play the most physical game you can imagine. Wear them down. Use more bench this game and punish them physically.
