    The Playoffs are ahead of us.... Let us not dwell in the past too much and see if he can write a new narrative there.

    This series is a joke! We should be able to beat them in 5 and get ready for San Antonio. The Thunder are not contenders, one player runs that team.

    I don't think anybody can complain about empty seats in Toyota Center since we are facing the Thunder.:D

    Rockets in 6. Let Westbrook get his and take care of the rest and we will be good.

    Depends on the start time. If it's an 8:30PM tipoff(really more like 8:45), then there's no excuse for any empty seats.

    I'm gonna try and buy a ticket either today or tomorrow. I'll be at TC right when the doors open. I'm hoping the atmosphere is electric and that I won't be able to hear myself talk once the game starts.

    Im probably gonna pregame at flying saucer or something. Im def waiting in line to be there right when doors open. They better have those complimentary shirts on the seats haha.

    Im rolling solo cuz all my homies are really fake fans and it would be a buzzkill. Im not exaggerating, like really fake. Cant even name the starting lineup, didnt know we were 3 seed, has watched 3-4 games on tv all year kind of fake haha.

    Never been to a playoff game before so im sooo hype. We will keep it loud and uncomfortable for the thunder

    Our series is going to be the most anticipated, most watched series in the first round. What's considered the most premiere time slot?? Is it the Saturday night game?? Or is it one of the afternoon games??

    I say rockets in 6. We drop 2 games because of off-shooting nights.

    Crud. The last time the Rockets played a first round Game 1 on a Sunday night, it was vs Portland 3 years ago. That didn't go so well.
