    We are going to get greedy and win both. Then get really greedy and sweep the Celtics. Then get really, really greedy and sign LeBron.

    I really hope we don't get run out of the gym tonight. Will be demoralizing to be sure if it happens.

    Spurs had them blown out with Kawhi Leonard. And they were a better team last year. It's more than possible.

    The Warriors have never beaten the Rockets with me in attendance. I probably have been to 20+ Rockets/Warriors games in Oracle and also the years that they played in the Shark tank in San Jose.

    Tinman will be there for game 3.

    I will be there for game 4. In other words, we will win at least one game.

    End of thread.

    If we win today we will go up 3-1 then win in 5. If we lose today we end up at 2-2 then win in 7.

    I see what you did there, but win today, it's still 2-1 for couple days.

    I think we win at least one and I think both tonight and Tuesday are going to be close. Both teams have blown each other out and I think both have a better sense of what each can do and make adjustments. I'm still standing by my prediction of Rockets in 7.

    YESS! If it helps I can win my old school Stros jersey. The Stros won all of the playoff and championship games with while I wore that when watching the games.

    Have a great time and wish I could be at Oracle or Toyota Center during this run..

    As long as the Rockets keep feasting on Curry's weak defense while making their open 3's, they'll be tough to beat.

    I was going to write a post about how we should expect the calls to go against us at Oracle. Then I looked up the box score from our game there in October. 25 fouls were called on them, 16 on us. Dubs were also whistled more than us in the two games at TC in January, but the margins were lower. And my overall impression from watching playoff games this year is that the home advantage in calls is far diminished from what it used to be. So that's one thing to feel hopeful about as we head in.

    Frustrating. Missing a lot of opportunities. Warriors have been nothing special

    I guess the Rockets don't believe they can win at The Oracle. I've never seen a game with so many missed layups and dunks in a half.

    agree 100%. warriors look mortal and very beatable. rockets are not taking advantage though. the focus has to be better in the 2nd half

    its james harden's fault. this slow tempo is all because of him. i wish Mike D would rip into him sometimes. he gets way too complacent and it is so frustrating. stop walking the fukkin ball up. stop throwing lazy passes. stop dribbling around for 20 seconds then trying to make a play. its like they didn;t learn anything between games 1 and 2. this is how you win, this how you lose. WAKE THE FUKK UP
