    it reminded me of game 6 vs NY. we couldn't make many shots, but our defense won the game all the way till the final second. then next game we came out more free and were able to get our offense rolling. perhaps history repeats :D

    I just want them to give it everything they have. If they come out on fire and stay on fire, never quit, and hit them with their best shot, that is all we can ask. We all want them to win, but it may or may not happen. I will be sorely disappointed if they don't, but I can live with it. What I don't want to see is a lackluster half-hearted effort. There will be no excuse for that.

    If I recall correctly, Horry started game 7 out with a steal and dunk, and I knew the Rockets were the champions.

    dream won the opening tip, max drove baseline and passed to horry behind the arc who passed to dream in the paint who made like he was going in for the dunk and then dropped off to a cutting horry at the last second for the tomahawk dunk

    The line is now back to Rockets -1 after opening there and moving to +1 yesterday. Good sign, I've never seen movement like that before.

    agree but the same goes for Harden were it not for his complacency he would have already been 2 times champion

    Preach brother! +1 to this.

    I can live with bad results as long as our game is on point and we give everything we have.

    Winning Recipe

    1) Protect the ball - Rockets have yet to beat GS this season while losing the TO battle
    2) Rebound - namely defensive variety.. can't allow GS easy threes and layups
    3) Make a layup - it's a shame this needs to be said
    4) Stay physical with Curry - hopefully refs allow contact.. this is the playoffs, right?
    5) Initiate our offense early in the shot clock
