    I'd get far more enjoyment out of seeing someone slap that mouthpiece clear across court when he hangs it out of his mouth chewing on it.

    Game one is always a tough one with how crazy that crowd will be knowing how big this series is. Just got to weather the storm in the beginning, and Pray our role players hit their 3's.

    We better win the bench lineups or this will be a loss. That’s the game right there.

    Game 1 is the Rockets BEST chance to steal one in RefLand.

    The Warriors were able to take care of the Clips because the Clips' offense isn't unique. They don't have the talent nor shooters where the Warriors had to cover everyone. Sweet Lou was the major focus.

    The Rockets play a totally different game, which appears to be much slower than the Clips. This means that the Clips won't be ready to close out on every damn shooter we have, including PJ. If the Rockets are smart, they'll take advantage of forcing the offense against Klay first because his injury looked worse. The "I Feel Great" comment he made is a bluff. Like last year, the Rockets need to put both Curry and Klay in a PNR early and often.

    BUT....UNLIKE last year, game one cannot just be James Harden isos. Chris Paul needs a heavy dose of plays in the post to manipulate Curry and get shooters open.

    Nene and Manimal are going to be necessary to push Bogut's illegal picks away.

    House is the X-Factor? No, No.

    It will always be Eric Gordon, followed by PJ TUCKER

    The 3's from Gerald that come out of nowhere will also be a major plus. I expect House to make a few open 3s, but Gerald makes his points with good defense.

    Either way, James needs to play the BEST series of his career this season. This is his best chance to win it all IMO.

    The Rockets sneak a steal in RefLand with a 5 point win.
