    If Harden plays like he did vs SA minus the turnovers and we can rely on EG, Rino, and Trevor to each shoot a little over 40% per game from 3, then yes. The Mavs got hot at the right time, Peja went bonkers one game, Terry was incredible, and Dirk was off the charts.

    You need 12 wins out of a potential 21 games to reach the finals. We can definitely get 3pt hot for 21 games or less (much less if you're hot) but just as easily go 3pt cold that stretch too.

    IF... we got 3pt hot we could win it all in less than 25 games and we can definitely get 3pt hot for a 25 game stretch.

    Not to mention, increased days between games.. so you can expect Nene to start and shooters to have fresh legs since there are no B2B's

    Nope.
    Yup, we have a lot of new Rockets fans on here that don't know we already have 2 championships. We gotta teach @topfive!

    Son, I was watching the Rockets in person even before you were a little tadpole swimming towards Mama Swyyyguy's fallopian tubes. I know exactly how many championships this team has won because I agonized through the two in the '80s that we almost won. I've been following this team since Calvin's only questionable fashion statement was knee-high socks. No history lesson will be necessary.
