    Hope the Rockets just come out and take of business. Harden AND CP3 have been in this situation many times before and couldn't get it done. Houston should want to bury these guys..

    Seems like a problem with their training staff. Multiple guys shouldn't be going down with hamstrings.

    We are gonna be hit hard with some seriously upgraded guard play in the next round. Glad we're getting our confidence up at least.

    No, but he has had a series that seemed to be over when his opponent was very injured. Spurs had their very best players out in that series last year and Harden couldn't get it done.

    the parallels are all over the place for both Harden and CP3

    it's unfortunate we couldn't get any wubio in the popcorn machine highlights. i guess we'll always have the reg season clips though

    Other than in 3 out of 3 home closeout game 5's the Rockets have had with Harden, they have simply not gotten it done!

    Yes. Against the Mavs few years ago, against OKC last year and Wolves last series.

    We took care of business then. Do it again.

    Seriously. I see a lot of people dismissing Rubio as not making a difference at all. Ultimately the end result may be the same (us advancing) but Rubio being out changed everything for them.

    You can’t just replace 14/7/7 but more importantly he was the one that created and got their sets in place. Also relieved pressure off DM with another ball handler. I doubt Mitchell struggles as bad as he has if Rubio were playing. He’s trying to do too much and forcing things.

    Lmao plz pile on mitchell. Embarrassing mitchell is low hanging fruit now.

    1) hes gonna be asked to play outside his comfort zone with exum and rubio both out
    2) hes a rookie in an elimination game
    3) he got caught talking ****

    He is readymade to get embarassed
