Nobody wants to be down 0-3 in a playoff series. But in a way I'm kinda glad we are, we have a chance to really truly beyond doubt solidify "Clutch City" and make history. I'm going to tell you all a little feel good story if you have a little bit of time for a read and as to why I think we will come back and overcome all odds. And it has nothing to do with how we're playing or what we need to change. This time last year my granny passed away a little bit after the Rockets where eliminated by the Trailblazers. As a 21 year old then, an emotional one I might add and am not afraid to admit I was pretty down and upset. I moved outta home at 18 to the other side of Australia to pursue my music career (this ties in later) Anyway as I'm about to land I get some reception on my phone and get a text from a mate saying that Dwight was in Cairns (my hometown) and was headed to the airport. I thought they where having me on and pulling my leg (what are the odds of me actually crossing paths with a Rockets player where my passion and love for the team started and grew) but they weren't. It wasn't the fact it was Dwight it could've been any Rockets player and I would've been like a kid on Christmas. So I hopped off the plane and waited for him to arrive mind you I stood out like dogs balls trying to pretend I wasn't waiting there on purpose haha. I don't wanna bore you with the details of it all but in short I got a photo with him and let him go about his business. Still a trip that happened. Fast forward to 6 months ago, I moved in with the guy I make music with to give music a fair crack and because I watch the Rockets religiously, he started to take an interest too. Our ritual was to get up (NBA games start around 10am over here) watch whatever games where on that day then proceed to make music. We hadn't put anything substantial out for the past 2 or so years due to a toxic mix of laziness and not being in the same place etc etc. So the last 6 months we got on our grind and just released our first album/body of work or whatever else you call 32 songs. We don't have a label or a manager (anymore) but we do have a pretty loyal fan base. We went #1 on the hip hop charts on iTunes (over here) just off pre orders which is pretty surreal if you know how cut throat the music scene is especially rap. In some way I feel as if the Rockets and my love for the team played a part in all of that and I'm not willing to give up on them just yet! The release date was last Tuesday (the day after we beat the clips in game 7) and there are too many things adding up for me not to share this with you guys. I 100% believe that we will come back and win this series and win the championship this year. I'm trying my damned hardest to manifest this historic comeback (from a fans POV) and want everyone of you to join me in putting the same belief back into the universe! Let's Get Em'!

I honestly would not be surprised at all if I went no contact and turned on the TV when game 7 was meant to be played and see the game come on. It's been that kind of year, not only for the Rockets but for me.
If you truly believe this then watch this you need to trust me for reality check: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilU3Ivsf88s
Don't listen to the haters brother! I'm HAPPY FOR YOU MAN! I BELIEVE! Even if it doesn't happen, I believe!
We play tomorrow. We are still in the Western Conference Finals. One winning streak away from the trophy. 8 straight for the gold. Make history or be history. Rockets will respond. Clutch City. Believe It Again!
