    I have to admit, Game 4, I was so nervous. But compared to our 2nd Championship run in 94-95 and the previous few years of the Rockets Season, this was nothing. Man, I remember those days in front of the TV, we used to blow big leads and somehow wins with a buzzer beater or something. Mad Max had a few of those buzzer beaters. He used to kill San Antonio every time we played the spurs. Good old days of Rockets ball. I think we have a special bunch of guys this year regardless of the outcome. Go Rockets

    It’s rough, I agree. Wonder how the finals will be?

    I was watching the game with the volume off. It worked last game... It worked this game..

    When Quinn Cook shot the ball, I closed my eyes and waited for death.

    After watching the Astros last year, this is nothing. I'm ready for tomorrow

    I'm so nervous that I've only watched 3 games this post season

    The one loss to Minnesota
    The one loss to Utah
    The Game 1 loss to GSW

    So yea y'all can thank me for not watching the games and extending on current winning streak.

    Astros WS nearly killed me. Rockets trying to finish me off. If Texans break out then I'll just go in peace.

    So the no CP3 malaise has taken a bit of the stress off and replaced it with depression and grief.

    Thanks I guess?

    Here is my new coping strategy - if the Rockets win the title, great.

    If not, then I will plan a trip or buy something that I would have otherwise denied myself.

    We may need to start a gofundme here so that we can all do this

    Complete opposite for me, I was calm as calm could be game 4. I was pleasantly surprised with every ebb and flow. The win was almost spiritually enlightening.

    Much more emotional and amped for game 5, especially when CP3 went down and all the missed FTs allowing GSW 2nd and 3rd chances.

    Honestly, I'm not joking here, I can't tell if I'm becoming an alcoholic because I am legitimately in need of a beer right now.

    Now back to the jokes, I am a B- bloodtype, so I may need a new liver soon.

    This ain't nothing! Imagine Chris Paul's state of mind right now. Truly, try to imagine the real CP's feelings the past 48 hours. I swear he was ready to cry after that injury.
