    Game 5 still has me pretty shook. I'm just thinking of the ways the Rockets will screw up this opportunity..

    Rockets lost with Kawhi on the bench..

    As a Rocket fan since 1990, I dont want to hear about other teams injury problems in the playoffs.

    I have been there, done that.

    Golly, I have a bad feeling for what is going to happen tonight. When Pops used to sit all his stars, the role players turned into All-Stars.
    I remember a few years ago him resting everyone important and they almost smacked Lebron's Heat.

    Figured as much
    If he is the LEAST bit of discomfort . . .. this 5 days of rest will be the best for him .
    He won't be able to rest as much before the Golden State Series

    i'm with you. it's not as much about empathy for the fans as it is empathy for the player. I'd be lying if I said I didn't want him out though. Maybe I'm just being overly politically correct

    EITHER WAY WE NEED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE AND GUILTLESSLY GET THE W

    Still won't be easy. It certainly wasn't the last eight minutes.

    PLUS, he will be right at home in the Houston humidity. I fully expect Simmons to be damp from 3. I have full confidence James Harden will take him for granted too. My confidence in James Harden is at all time low:(

    Agreed.
    Had we not lost Yao in the Laker series in 09, we would have been 2008-2009 NBA champions.

    I called that one. Smart move by Pop. Win this series by any means necessary.
