    Them repeating this pissed me off the whole game. The Rockets may have lost 8 straight regular season games to the Warriors but they beat the Warriors twice in the last two Playoff series. It's not accurate to say that we haven't beaten GS in 8 tries.

    Last night was my last night in rehab. Told the treatment team I was getting wasted on the plane today if the rockets lost. All the staff was in my apartment watching the game with me and was talking mad **** about them. Was a good night

    It seems Draymond Green fouled Gordon when Ariza in bounded the ball to him in the first overtime , that gave the ball back to GS with 2.3 seconds left. Good defense by Harden on KD on that last shot he took, though.

    Hard to admit it but, Barkley is right Harden has to play super for them to get out of first round.

    It seems to me this is the best RS rockets team in the last several years. Perhaps it's still early but they seem to be able to play vs anybody. In the previous years there have always been a couple of teams that we could not beat and who straight owned us, almost always blowing us out of building, OKC and Clips for example.

    You need to be one who develop your superstar not gut your roster for one. Draymond Green and Klay Thompson become superstars when they won the chip, were they traded before that it would be a huuuge mistake.

    FINALLY!!!!!!!!! Beating the Warriors made my year! Thank you Rockets for bringing me some early Christmas joy, because that was the sweetest victory for me in what seems like years. Watching Curry with his head under his blankie towel was about as nauseating as seeing that mouthpiece hanging out of his mouth like a pacifier the whole game. How sweet it was to beat them in their own arena.

    Thank you Rockets for bringing me joy during a time when all my expectations of Osweiller were shattered quicker than I ever imagined. I expected more of this offense, and less of the Rockets, and boy was I wrong. These Rockets are soooooo much fun to watch.

    I see your Harden, and I raise you Brewer has to play well for the Rockets to make it out of the first round.

    Smoke on

    not just that we beat them, we kept them close all the time, so that their hope is always there, just to be chrushed at the end. priceless

    That was definitely the icing on the cake!!!! I just had a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach it would be the other way around, and they would win at the last second by either a 3pt shot, or some terrible call by the officials.

    Those guys are too young, man. I hope they play well and I really hope Capela continues his development but Brewer is a certified vet. He needs to come aboard and lead the team from the bench. If he is a no show then the Rockets are screwed.

    Lets have a J together though. Do you smoke or no?

    The Warriors badly miss Bogut. Their interior defense is a joke now compared to last year. They got very little out of Zaza and McGee. Our offense wasn't buttery smooth, we were definitely hanging out on the perimeter in the 4th and OT periods due to fatigue, but attacking them was not a problem. In the Utah game, our offense was ugly whenever Gobert was on the floor because we just couldn't get good shots inside. That guy alters everything and can keep up with a high pace. A good defensive big is invaluable.
