    the real question is how much time will Zhou Qi get after last night's breakout performance?

    I mean but it’s nothing different from any other year this isn’t new. Some series see teams get their 2 day breaks early on and others get them later in the series.....

    No fear of losing this series, their style is a poor fit to beat us.

    But game one concerns me. You can tell yourself all you want that you are playing to win, but the mind knows when you've been playing games with no actual consequences, and we've been doing that for almost 3 weeks. They've just faced elimination, have a talented trio and are playing with house money. By merely making the postseason in that city, the season is now a success.

    Even if they win game one we will outclass them the rest of the way, but it's a headache I hope we avoid.

    Just crush 'em. No reason for this to go over 5 games max. Just show up ready to play and this will be an easy W.

    I wouldn't be shocked if the Rockets got off to a slow start. That happened in a couple of their wins over Minnesota. The first win at Toyota Center when Harden was coming back from his hamstring injury. And the first win at Target Center when the Rockets were down big in the first half before going a 3-point shooting rampage and blowing the game wide open.

    Playing a "shitty" team is the Rockets reward for being the #1 seed.
