    Win game 5 to gain some confidence heading into Golden State.

    Play like games 3 and 4 and you aren't beating the Warriors in a best of 7 series.

    play like game 3? you mean the game they won? that's odd

    if you're expecting the warriors series to be pretty like game 1 and 2 the entire time, you already set yourself up for failure. doesn't matter if the rockets win by 1 or 30. the W's is all that matters

    I know they won, but Harden can't go the first 3 quarters without making a shot.
    The Jazz don't have the firepower the Warriors have.

    the rockets got two of their wins in absolute grindouts a year ago. One of those included a harden going 5-21.

    There isn't some absolute blueprint. You find a way to win no matter if its by 1 pt or 30. it doesn't matter

    Yeah. Like game 3. That’s a certain loss vs GS. You are setting yourself up for failure if you think we are going to win against GS like that.

    oh is it? its not like harden went 5-21 (0-11 from 3) a year ago and the rockets found a way to win or anything. guess some of you already forgot about that

    certain loss for sure ;)

    Ok. We are going to beat GS if harden plays like he did in game 3. You are right. Lol. Im sure you wouldn’t bet $5 on that outcome but you’ll come in here and argue it. Ridiculous.

    argue about something that's already happened? well that makes sense doesn't it. If you want to believe harden is the only way the rockets are beating GS, that's you. in reality he isn't. Sure it would be great if he just drops 50 every single game. If only it were that easy. The rockets have found other ways to beat them.

    what's ridiculous is you people that think harden is just the absolute end to all. he can have a game like game 3 and the team still finds a way to win. that's what an actual great team does. disregarding things that have actually happened because they don't go along with your "theory" makes no sense

    I would usually agree with that statement about great teams. But this isn’t a great team like GS. It is extremely reliant on Harden. Much like Portland with Lillard. Beating GS on a night when he doesn’t play well isn’t going to happen very often. Of course miracles happen from time to time. Like that series vs the clippers. We benched all of our starters (including a shell shocked Harden) and made an epic comeback. Yeah it happens but it’s extremely unlikely. I wouldn’t take my chances on that **** happening again!

    This series is about to be over!!! Harden is going off tonight. He’s due for another breakout game.

    Rockets Points Scored has decreased each game.

    Is Utah's defense improving each game ??

    Maybe, but I'm thinking it's more likely a combination of HCA and Rockets apathy Game 4 after being up 3-0.
