Harden will be in attack mode, he knows our season is on the line and he looks like a man on a mission. So I'm picking the guy that has stepped up all year for us, The Beard.
The unambiguously correct answer, backed by an entire season's and 2.5 playoff series' worth of data is: NO ONE KNOWS. That's the Rockets for you. Usually someone does show up, but, again no one knows who it will be.
I'm hoping that they come out with energy and that they will hustle on the boards and for every 50/50 ball. Everyone needs to be able to hit their shots tonight, at their respective season averages or above!! An all around team effort led by James & Dwight. After the losses in Games 1&2 it's only fair - C'mon basketball gods! #GoRockets #RocketsIn7
Harden and Howard have to be big tonight. But the Rockets also have to get production from Smith, Brewer, and T-Jones. Those guys must finish around the rim. And most importantly, no brutally awful performances like Smith had in Game 2.
2 Things I liked in Game 4 1. We pushed the ball and didn't wait to give to Harden 2. Josh was hitting his 3's We need defense in the Orcale, can't beat them trying to outscore them. So James needs to play some D tonight.
