    Losing tonight would be equal to the Lillard shot

    If we stick to our plan of not boxing out and trying to rack up shotclock violations, we're a lock.

    lol we'll get so much **** if we lose tonight. Harden probably will have this series imprinted on his legacy forever if we lose tonight or even game 7.

    I have no shame losing to Pop and the Spurs if they manage to win without Kawhi. They're a 60+ win team and they did well in the limited games Kawhi sat out in the regular season.

    Losing the Blazers was embarrassing as ****, that buzzer beater literally made me depressed for two straight weeks lol.

    that's actually what i think happens. they will feel the pressure of kawhi not being there and not wanting to pick on his replacement, so he'll get away with a lot, especially because they've made it clear they don't want to be seen as giving the rockets a lot of calls since the mood on our type of fouls turned national during this series (notice we got 3 point fouls like crazy in the thunder series).

    Keep in mind we lost to the Clippers in the playoffs at home without Chris Paul.

    It really doesn't matter who plays for the Spurs. If the Rockets don't come out focused and brick their 3s, we're done.

    He's been pretty aggressive this series already. Honestly he and mills have been playing tackle football out there with no calls and I don't expect it to be any better tonight.

    This. I can envision the rockets playing without energy and bricking threes all night and losing this game, convinced they'll win it in the 4th.

    I'm often an apologist for Harden, but him getting mad at his teammates tonight when he makes a turnover is worthy of a slap.

    Spurs ML would have paid out pretty damned nice. You know there were some sharp people in Vegas waiting for the news Leonard would be out then hammering the Spurs. LOTS of money made tonight.
