    I kind of made that same comparison to my friends. End of the day we saw that they can be beat at a place where no one else could in a game style that we normally would have withered in. You have to take that momentum and use it correctly. Not a Game 2 to Game 3 situation again.

    We have to win tonight, go into their place, and convert all those Warriors bandwagoners into Rockets fans. After the win, Harden grabs a microphone and does the big "we can all change" speech.

    That's Rocky III.

    If he dies, he dies.

    I know the original Rocky won Best Picture, but I really think Rocky IV was the best film in the series. Love that movie.

    @ico4498 in post #12
    Excellent. I’ve used the same quote from “Predator”

    Rockets
    Player
    ......................Avg mins in WCF series.(only)...........Playoffs prior to WCF series - avg mins
    Harden.................................36.2 mins.......................................................35.4 mins
    CP3........................................36.5 mins.......................................................33.3 mins
    Ariza......................................33.8 mins.......................................................32.3 mins
    Tucker....................................37.0 mins.......................................................29.8 mins
    Eric Gordon............................33.1 mins.......................................................30.6 mins
    Capela.....................................26.5 mins.......................................................32.0 mins
    Other players received fewer mins not worth mentioning.

    Warriors
    Player..........................Avg mins in WCF series (only)...........Playoffs prior to WCF series - avg mins
    Klay T........................................38.4 mins.......................................................38.0 mins
    K Durant...................................38.5 mins.......................................................36.8 mins
    Draymond................................39.5 mins.......................................................37.4 mins
    Curry.........................................35.5 mins.......................................................31.2 mins
    Iggy............................................27.2 mins.......................................................27.5 mins
    Other players received fewer mins not worth mentioning.

    Turnover battle has conveniently been won by the victors.
    Game 1

    Rockets 13 Warriors 9
    Game 2
    Rockets 13 Warriors 15
    Game 3
    Rockets 19 Warriors 8
    Game 4
    Rockets 10 Warriors 16

    *Green = turnovers by losing team.
