    Didn't that 2016 Thunder team take them to 7?

    And that Spurs team came out guns blazing until Kawhi died.

    I know it’s ridiculous, but this game is a must win.

    Lose this game and I think we fall in five. The pressure will be overwhelming in game 2 if we lose 1. If the warriors blitz us in game 1 I fear the tent will get folded up

    Not ridiculous, accurate. Rockets need to set a tone, show intensity for 48 minutes and prove they belong on the court with those guys. WCF and I'm still waiting for an extended period of elite ball from Houston. No better time for a streak though.

    Paul and Harden are about to turn it up a notch.

    Capela is going to dunk on and swat Donkey and it will be glorious.

    X factor is Gordon. If he matches Klays production which is doable, we can take the series.

    Ryno should be used to just go all goon on Donkey, piss him off, cause some technicals and throw him off his game.

    I want this game and series in the worst way. I want to waste that coat tail riding little pork whistle Kevin Durrant and. Stephanie curdpee. Hate that entitled little Cup of monkey spunk team.

    I personally think Ryno has to play and has to do well for us to win.

    This is a MUST win if there ever was one. If the Rockets hold home court throughout the series they will be lifting a trophy after they sweep Cleveland. I am not brimming with confidence because of the subpar performances thus far even though we are 8-2. However, the Rockets have almost a week to prepare. No excuses.

    Its not ridiculous at all, in fact I think the first 2 games are must wins. It would be beautiful to be able to go into Golden State and steal one game and come back to Houston to try and wrap up, or have 3 games to get 1. I think its absolutely possible, just have to win those first 2. Maybe we can shock the world.

    I think we have the chance to get in their heads at much as they can get into ours. This might be the most epic playoff series in 10+ years for the NBA, not counting the Lebron win in '16.

    If we lose either game 1 or 2 they could wrap it up quick. We hold serve I believe we can steal one in Golden State

    Wouldn’t be surprised to see a game similar to Game 1 vs SAS last season.

    Even if we play bad , but will manage to win by 1 , I am ok with that. One game at a time, and RunAsOne!
