    If we blow them out then that arena will get so quiet.

    Poor guy. It just isn't fair that he has to play against a seasoned veteran, 23 year old Clint Capela. Someone be sure to give Towns a box of Kleenex before the game. :cool:

    It's not easy, but if you can dribble and beat your opponent, there will be opportunities to make mid-range shots even if they pack the paint.
    It should be an option to go to. We are obviously much better from long range. Most of our guys aren't making them consistently. Perhaps they can turn the corner tonight.

    I predict a raucous and supportive crowd, coupled with a desperate and aggressive Wolves team. I think we trail most of the game, rally late and it goes down to the wire. Wolves 108-Rockets 106

    But knowing the Rockets (and to a lesser extend, the young Wolves), it could be a 30 point Rockets win. :p

    I bet it will be a real treat for Minnesota fans to see Zhou Qi play in their house. Boring win. Go Rockets!

    I'm not so sure. There's a lot of negativity towards the Twolves right now locally and with the Wild losing last night a lot of MN fans are expecting the end is near for the Wolves too.

    I'm getting a little jealous of all these other playoff teams up 3-0 or 3-1.

    One thing to look for from the crowd is probably a lot of booing of Harden. He's been really villified as a cheater in MN.

    I'm so excited. I just can't hide it. I'm about to lose control, and I think I like it!

    I think it's asking too much for this team to win Game 3 on the road. I think we go down 97-84.

    Rockets lose this one, unfortunately.
