The Thunder will tighten up with every good play we make. We will get looser with every one they make. Nothing to lose and everything to gain, it's a recipe for success. And besides, who wants to predict a loss anyway?

 

Aaron Brooks should referee this match.

 

Let's go Rockets! Steal this one!

 

Defense is the name of the game. Rockets should play it better. Scoring will come. Murphy's law... It's been 4 games now...

 

My head tells me the Thunder win by double figures. My heart tells me the Rockets somehow get this series back to Houston. It would help if Harden actually shows up and Durant isn't able to shoot 75% from the floor.

 

Life would be so much easier if they could get Ibaka in early foul trouble.

 

This could get interesting

What if Harden snaps out of it and has a monster game?

What if Asik has his best game of the series?

What if the threes start falling at a higher percentage?

What if Lin plays and works some magic?

What if Durant gets slowed down by the Rocket's defense?

What if Parsons goes off again?

What if Beverly goes wild and has his best game?

What if Brooks comes to life?

Things COULD get interesting!

 

Forget the series. Down 3-1 is a HUGE mountain to climb.

One game at a time. Steal this one. Then focus on the next one. Then see how it all plays out.

Long as the Rockets play hard, I can live with the results.

Just to add a few more...

What if T-Jones proves his potential by going toe to toe with Ibaka on blocks?

What if Delfino catches fire from downtown?

What if McHale executes a perfect game plan down the stretch?

What if Garcia gets in Durants head and KD gets T'ed up twice?

 

Boy, I'm glad this is the late game tonight. I'd miss it otherwise like every other Wednesday game all year.

Home court advantage will be tough to overcome. I believe in the Rockets to make me proud though, win or lose.

 

I have a good feeling going into this game. I think that by winning the other with Harden going 15/10 (not the good 10) gives this team a lot of confidence. Parsons has been getting better every game and hopefully Lin will be a go. If he's able to come back and become a factor, which he hasn't been all series, I feel we can steal this one. The thing about this team is that even if they fall behind early, they will play their hardest until the final whistle. We have to take this one game at a time. I think our guys will come out with a lot of confidence that they can get one in OKC after how close they played it in game 2. Let Durant get his and force the other guys to beat us. If we win tonight, I think we take this to 7.

 

im hoping harden can get hot for this game...we can win.

coming home for game 6 in houston...very favorable.

 

I'll be at the game tonight. I'll be the fat guy in a blue shirt. You can't possibly miss me in the crowd.

 

Anyone notice the big guy (usually shirtless & with a megaphone) behind the basket at the OKC games? He makes all these animal type noises when opposing teams shoot free throws. Pretty funny.

Oh, yeah. And let's get this win!

 

It will be 9 vs 4 and Rockets will still have chance to win it in the end. 3 refs, 5 Thunder players, and 1 Bearded guy.

I am hoping Harden can stop his execute order 66 on the team.:grin:

 

You should wear a red rocket shirt to stand out.

 

What if Durant simply says, "No."

 

Win or lose I love the heart and hustle of this team! Hope they can make me proud tonight!
