    The amount of Rockets hate/Warriors love the national media will spew in the next 48 hours is going to be insane.

    Nothing wrong with this stat. You do realize that the Warriors have lost 9 times in 82 games. They are not losing 4 times in 7.

    The Warriors upset the Mavs. It's only fair if we upset them...

    Forget about wins, how many minutes will we actually hold a lead in this series?

    A true to rockets fan would never post their demise. But one would be stupid to ignore the logical outcome. That being said. .... Let's go Rockets !

    How many wins would y'all be happy with?

    I'd be cool with one, happy about 2, disappointed but wouldn't be surprised with a sweep.

    .03% seems more realistic

    If Harden would play like his life depended on it from jump. Not that "I'll play in the 3rd and 4th quarter because I have to save my self to do everything for the Rockets to win" garbage. Everyone would match his energy.

    If Dwight just played the game and didn't let every push in the back get in his head

    Rockets could shock the world.

    Might be asking too much though..

    If the Rockets could steal a game early, maybe the expectations can cause those sphincters to tighten the same way Dallas did when they were upset. At this point the Rockets can't get any lower, so there are no expectations.

    That's the only hope for this even being competitive, the gulf in quality between these 2 teams massive. I'll be surprised if we can win 1, shocked if we win 2.

    Anything less than a sweep I'd consider a success

    3% is factoring Curry/Green/Thompson getting hurt. You take that out and it's more realistically .5%. You could take out 2 of those players and the Rockets would still struggle to win a single game in the series.
