    I think people don't get it man because the first round is irrelevant to the next round and the round after that barring injury.

    Again, championship teams lose games and play poorly in the first round commonly. It's not some new thing. We've had champions get taken to 7 games.

    Unless there is an injury, how we play against the Wolves is irrelevant to how we will play the Warriors. The Rockets know the Warriors will be more of a challenge than the Wolves.

    The difference is, the Rockets CAN reach a level that can beat the Warriors. So sit back, lets give them a chance to do it before we say they can't do it.

    Derrick Rose post-game in deadpan monotone

    "I think the game really turned around in the 3rd quarter"

    I expected to see the camera pan to hotels.com Captain Obvious holding the mic.

    this is what made me so mad about his last game and made it so hilarious to see him beating his chest. the dude disappears all the time and here he was draining pull-up 3's like steph curry. good to see him go back to normal atlanta mode.

    How we play is not IRRELEVANT. They can beat the Warriors but not playing like they have this series, it's not championship basketball.

    This, the Rockets didn't have to lose that game. They need to be more consistent.

    How we win this round is irrelevant to how we will play our next opponent. I don’t understand this logic that if we don’t win by 20 every game against the wolves means we can’t win against anyone in the remaining rounds.

    This year the standings do not mean much. Minnesota is not a true #8 that barely snuck in. They are a good team. 2-3 more wins and they could been 3 or 4.

    yup that logic doesnt make any sense. every series is different. doesnt matter how you win as long as you get the job done.

    Great game. Minnesota is a good team. I like that we have two blowouts against them. Defense really locked down in the second half. I love playoffs in the NBA.
