    This series has drained my hopes of a championship run. We dominated this team in the regular season.

    Maybe non Rocket NBA fans are right when they keep on repeating that the playoffs are totally different and the Rockets are not suited for it.

    We will win this series .but no way this team is beating the Warriors in 7 .

    A tram that can beat the Warriors in 7 should be able to coast through the first two rounds .

    If we go back to Houston 2-2 I would put Anderson back in the starting lineup. Toronto fans complained about his lack of production in the postseason

    Even if we win this series, we’re not going anywhere w this offense. Pretty damn mediocre over the last month.

    Glad to see Ryno knock off some cobwebs.

    This isn't going well.

    It's a little troubling that the Rockets are apparently so unprepared to play against the very simple and mundane Timberwolves offense. It's like a Jeff Teague iso is just beyond our ability to stop.

    the good news is the wolves are all shooting absurdly well in the same game and didn't eek out game 1 with a teauge performance like this one. we could easily be down 2-1 if gordon/ariza/tucker had anything to do with it.

    Harden loses his nuts in playoffs, I will no longer make excuses for him. No excuses for him or chris paul, this is bullshit. MDA dumbass let our defensive stopper get injured and Harden playing scared.

    Harden just doesn't have the physical tools to be as good. And Harden's game is so predictable sometimes, his lack of midrange really hurts him.

    Truly a pathetic game in all areas. If they lose Game 4 they’re in trouble.

    Harden may be a regular season MVP but it's certainly true what everyone says about him in the post-season.

    Meanwhile AD just completely dominated the Blazers in a 4 game sweep.

    I did pick Rockets in 5. So actually show up for Game 4 and then close it out at home.

    There's no way in hell the T'Wolves shoot like this from 3 every night.
