Can you take much more of this stress? (Asking for a friend)

Games 4 and 5, I couldn’t breathe. Screaming at the tv, jumping up and down, fist pumping exactly like T-Mac after he went 13 in 33, cursing at every GS player. Game 6, I’m on vacation with my 3 and 1 year old in a hotel ughhhhh I have to be quiet. Well, maybe not if they win. I’ll wake up the whole GD hotel lol. That being said, bc everything is stacked against us in game 6, I don’t feel the anxiety I did before games 4 and 5. If the Rockets win tonight, awesome, but even without CP3 (if he can’t play and the series goes 7), I like our chances at home for a game 7, the crowd will be insane. I’m looking at this game as one that would be incredible to win, but we’ve got one more at home if we need it... so not quite as nervous as the past few games. Go Rockets!!!

 

What i would do for a win tonight.

There is a legitimate chance that if i ever sought a high position in the federal government I would be denied a security clearance for fear that I would be an easy target for blackmail.

That's what I would do for a win tonight.

 

I’m hype but this is nothing compared to the astros playoffs so far.

 

Ditto, That run was psycho stress from hell.

I was 25 when we made our first of two chip runs and I literally couldn't concentrate on anything other than when the next game was and making sure NOTHING got in my way of planting my ass for that tip time.

There was no social media, no hot take shows, no Twitter, no nothing You read newspaper columns, maybe some Westwood 1 or Sporting News radio or else you had to sit and revel in your own thoughts and nervousness of what was coming.....

 

The thing to remember is Houston teams never make it easy...

 

the entire 4th Q of game 5 till the buzzer i was standing 3 feet in front of the big screen nonstop without moving once

 

Ima tell you guys how i manage my stress...i have nba.com in one tab, clutchfans in the next..... And tnt in another. After a play happens i tab over to nba(because it refreshes faster then tnt) and then tab back to game. During time outs i f5 clutchfans to read comments. During some really nerve racking times I just f5 clutchfans to see your reactions first before i get to see it on tnt. Its worked for me. Thanks clutchfAns

 

I like Rockets games where they are up by 20 or so going into the fourth quarter and the closest the game gets is 10 pts. I like to see Joe Chee and gang play the last few minutes.

 

I hope this is like Game 2, not 3.

 

I was too. I've lived many lives since then...But, it seems like yesterday...esp. right now.

 

Damn I hope Harden meets the challenge today. If there was ever a game that could put a stamp on his MVP season, it would be this one.

 

I don't know how you started calm after the Livingston foul to extend the game, then the missed free throw by CP3 to leave the door open, and the wide open corner three by Curry. My jaw was clenched the entire time .

 

I was actually at Oracle for game 4 and I was in almost dreamlike state.

Watching GSW fans go from euphoria to complete pandemonium, it was beautiful.

 

I'm so glad this series is over Monday, it's been too much.

 

It was stressful but I feel like the Rockets are playing with house money now that CP3 is out. I feel like we at least...at the very least, exposed this team.

I want the win BAD...even if we lose in the finals...just to expose this fraud team and cupcake Durant.

 

Yes, me too.

Not worse than the Astros World Series. That World Series almost killed me.

 

Guess it depends on what you root for. I love the Stros but baseball just can’t stress me out like this game.
