    Well we are 2-1 when I start drinking at noon. Although, I drank way too much after game 6. Like way too much. I might have to do this game sober...

    Jumbo Coconut Shrimp for @Daddy Long Legs -- homie formerly known as Mathrocker.

    Come on bro you must eat non-stop until we win. This is the only juju I've seen work this season to guarantee a Rockets win.

    As @DreamShook would say, "Do it for the culture!"

    I stand up during the entire game. Talk to myself.

    Nothing weird.

    A simple search would find my description of the event. A good friend of mine got 2 excellent free tickets to a Rocks game via a Harvard alumni thingy. It happened to be Jerry Lin bobblehead night and they were handing them out like candy, at least where we went in. I got 3, gave away 2, and kept one for emergencies. This is an emergency. I'm using reverse osmosis or something like that. Wait and see. :cool:

    Bunch of mentally ill degenerates in this forum. ;)

    #metoo

    I had a mojo regimen working for me in the regular season. I noticed when I did a little work out (sit-ups, pull ups, planks, squats, punching bag, etc.) to release frustration at my beloved Rockets, they seemed to play harder and what not. So I figured early on, that if the Rockets eventually let me down, at least I'd get in shape in the process. Win, Win.

    It seems to have the opposite effect in this series. So I'll be sitting on my muscular ass all game like I have for the previous 3 wins we've had, biting my nails furiously in between the mouthfuls of unsalted tortilla chips and salsa I shovel into my mouth.

    When I've been able to play Kingdom Come Deliverance before the game, we've lost. I'm not playing today whether I end up having time or not. No way. I also won't share predictions that friends and I have made.

    I must read this forum but not overly so. If I read too much the Rockets have lost. If I just browse and search for info-nuggets I might have missed, then we win. I won't check stuff that isn't focused on the Rockets. For instance, if there is a thread about how the Warriors are trashing us, I leave that behind. When I've read those threads, the Rockets have lost. It creates negative energy for me, and I need to be positive and focused on the Rockets letting their play do all of the talking that needs to be done.

    As the game gets going, I may find print out some article praising the Warriors and burn it if the Rockets absolutely need it, off if one of the warriors pisses me off during the game.

    I wore the same clothes for games 2, 4, 5, and 6... Worried that the mojo ran out for game 6. I also have a Rockets beanie and some James Harden socks laying in my living room that haven’t been touched since before game 4... But again, im wondering if something needs to change here. Didn’t work in game 6.
