    Come on guys, big day for the title aspirations. If we are serious about this, big rebound today on all aspects, regardless of the result. Countermoves for Harden.

    If we don't, same old, same old.

    No, I haven't heard anything from the players inside the bubble. I can tell you that those in the front office hate Foster more than any other official, with Brothers being second. Concerning the selection of Brothers, those in the front office do not like it because it gives the game greater variance and the Rockets feel they are the better team so they do not like the variance.

    Also, the Rockets are not alone in disliking Brothers, the vast majority of players dislike him. Brothers and Chris Paul have a history of run ins even this season Brothers was caught talking bad about Paul on camera.

    We win this game if we:

    1. Shoot slightly better. Don't have to make 40% from 3, but can't shoot in the 20s.
    2. Take the ball away from Eric Gordon. Dude needs to stop taking 30 foot 3's, drive more, and stop trying to take over games by himself. Stay in your lane.

    I view this as a positive - he's been very ineffective for them this series and I don't think Donovan has it in him to adjust small (which is what they should be doing)

    Believe so. I'm sure he returns for game 5 (min restriction)

    Probably going to be another **** show. Good thing most of us Rockets fans have developed an acquired taste for **** after being fed it for so long. I hope they issue another day-after apology for a botched call that costs the team another game.

    It would be nice to see EG play a whole game without crying to the refs after every shot. Maybe he will start to get some calls then.

    Let's do it. I'll take that bet!

    Rockets win: I donate

    If Rockets lose, you donate!

    at least good thing is that fouling out harden 2 games in a row would be too bold & obvious even for silver

    I’m starting to feel nervous. I get the feeling OKC has a lot of confidence and worried the Rox will take having a one game lead for granted.

    Na, I'm saying they will lose! You gotta donate if they lose!

    I'm taking the bet that the Thunder will win this game, so I will donate if I'm wrong.
