    It all depends on the Rockets' commitment to playing defense. Rockets will have to play some of the best defense the league has ever seen.

    Unfortunately, I agree.

    I hope we have runs though and we get valuable playoff experience. Hopefully i'll be surprised and we can win a game or two. :grin:

    I don't think it's going to be as bad as most people think. i honesty would be surprised if we don't win 1 or 2 games.

    But then again the Rockets can suck ass at anytime so it's hard to predict how there gonna play.

    Not true. Bovada had 11:1 on winning the series but they took it off the line for now. That 1% you mentioned is winning the championship.

    so we didnt look like crap in the first okc game?

    never implied lin was the best option. lin has to have a good game in addition to harden. lin is the only other player besides harden that can create his own shot. he NEEDS to play well.

    are you saying okc would rather double lin than harden because they are scared of his playmaking? :rolleyes:

    here's an idea, dont get trapped to begin with? lin has below average handles and picks up his dribble. that's a recipe for turnovers. he has to PASS before the trap.

    If one had the confidence to succeed, it does not mean that he or she will necessarily succeed. But if one does not have any confidence, he or she will surely lose.

    Realist or not, tampering one's expectations or not, I am happy to stay positive and expecting a Rockets' win. Not a game has been played yet. I am really sick of the naysaying fans here.

    Tbh I don't think this series is going to be much fun to watch, Durant vs Harden, who can get the most whistles.

    As much as i wanted the rockets to play the spurs, i guess we have to deal with OKC.

    I actually hope we dont upset and beat them, because i think OKC is the only team who can beat miami. If we were to get lucky an beat them for some crazy reason, id be pretty upset because we all know there's no possible way we could beat the Heat if we ever got far enough.

    We win 1 or 2 games but we gain priceless playoff experience from the best team in the west. Can't wait for the off-season and see who we use that salary cap with.

    So you care more about the Miami losing than the Rockets having playoff success?
