    Advanced stats suggest that they're still a very good offensive team without Steph. We have no chance.

    Capela, Beasley, Trez, PBev, DMo, and Ariza are the ones who seem to care.

    Dmo and Ariza play the most out of them. Ariza seems too frustrated to be as good as last season (cant blame him). DMo is so awkward and off balance he can't even run down the court without effing that up.

    Pat is a warrior, but is injured and can't do crap other than try his ass off. Props to him for being the PG version of Ryan Bowen.

    Beasley is amazing in spurts. Our offense would be better ran through him than Harden. But JBB refuses to play him long minutes. I can't entirely blame JB either. Beasley plays with his own neon-green light to shoot.

    Capela is solid. Needs to gain weight.

    Trez is log jammed out of rotation.

    Outside the above players, no one cares. Harden starts caring if his last shot fell, but then he ISO balls, bricks, and mopes for a good 3 minute stretch.

    So I guess [Calm Down] We Lost in Training Camp.

    Clutch,

    I know you used to reside in Austin and met a few of my friends over here that are members. They said pretty good stuff about you but I was a year too late, but that's beside the point. When you do your next podcast, I'll be looking to hear my name during the show. *GIANT ****ING **** EATING GRIN*

    As John Oliver would say #UNCLEDONKNOWSSOME****

    Here's the problem.
    Clutch City is when the Rockets face adversity and took off to win the championship after being disrespected for winning for the first championship.

    Well, it's Golden State that's been disrespected and it's Golden State that was dealt a blow (Curry out = Maxwell out to a degree). They are the one's rallying, they are the ones playing with heart.

    I'm 100% in on the Rockets.

    This is where we get a win in Oracle.

    Green and Speights won't have games like that ever again. The rockets are now energized. Like D-Howard said - Game 5 will not be our last game. We are hungry now.

    We see light and when we see light - we excel.

    REDNATION LETS GOOO!!!

    Dude, you gotta quit living in the past. The next championship we win will not be anything like the last or the one the year before that. The only thing you have to do that is similar: BELIEVE.

    Not sure you understand.

    They do not WANT to win. Sure, some of the players do. DMO wants to win, Jason Terry's professionalism makes him want to win. Pat Beverly wants to win. Who else on this team WANTS it? I mean the fire burns within them to win it. Harden? Howard? Ariza? Most of players on that team just want to get this bad memory behind them. Last year. Maybe they would have seized the opportunity, but these petunias are going to wither away game 5 with half the players not shaking each others hands as they clear out their lockers. That locker room is probably cold as ice and has all the life of a funeral home.

    Bittersweet if we win. This is my team and I believe.

    Just the thought of Bickerstaff giving the FO any sort of a reason to keep him terrifies me though...

    Call me a fool. Hell I give it 50/50 that D12 is available in the 4th quarter. He will probably be sitting in the locker room with a pair of tech's

    D12 has not been a positive influence all year. What's different? We don't necessarily need him to win. That's proven.

    Rockets in 7!!!

    I'm living in the now, this team doesn't look like a championship team.

    Did I say they were a 'championship team'? I'm a fan of yours tin, but pay attention. I might start believing we'll go all the way at some point, but I never said that.

    Life is always changing. It's usually pretty obvious why things change. There's usually something that happens ahead of a housing crash before the actual housing crash happens. Curry being out for the series is not exactly a long shot sort of deal. We're winning in 7.

    We will be up by 1 at the end of 3rd and lose by 25. Go fishing in Rockets style.
