    If the Rockets play like they did tonight in the 3rd quarter, they are winning the championship.

    That is easier said than done though. They aren't going to look consistent because it's the playoffs. They don't now host the Hawks and Suns to look consistent against. They go right back up against the Twolves, who are a good team, and a team that is familiar with them.

    I think it says more about the Rockets that they can play poorly and still win playoff games.

    Bro, we are up 3-1, I dont know whats making you doubt so much. We won game 1 and 2 playing championship defense and then we won game 4 playing both championship offense and defense. You've seen alot of close games in these playoffs, and then in one quarter its just over, it happens. Teams arent going to get rolled over for 20 points almost every night.

    Don’t even get at me with that. You saw the first quarter and it wasn’t just Harden missing shots.

    I’m glad Harden finally woke up.

    A very enjoyable win! Beard was so beardtastic in quarter 3. Just like the only adult human on the court. Loved it.

    Wait I’m a hater now? You’re ****ing insane man, I’m not going to debate you. We need to pick up the pace and move the ball if we’re going anywhere. 2 halves of ball in this entire series shouldn’t be blinding you.

    I love that we won..but if you’re counting on Jordan performances every night from harden you answered your own question

    Pretty sure you're the one who is dense

    Why don't you recap as to what happened? Minny blew their load early just like I mentioned

    How did that 2nd half go?

    games 1 & 2 - rockets half assed it
    game 3 - rockets miraculously loses
    game 4 - rockets woke. harden only needed 25 and we still win by 10

    we didn't harden's jordan performance for this game to win.. same with game 2.. same with game 3 which was a fluke..
