    Oh I agree 100%, really cool to see that kind of shot making night after night and glad I got to witness it, but I do think he killed a lot of the fire for the team unfortunately.

    They have cooled off at least...but this is the 25-26 Rockets.

    No lead is safe. It would be nice to just beat them every quarter and win the game comfortably, just to experience a playoff win this season, but expect them to throw away any lead they get.

    NBA is so rigged.

    I wonder if they told the Lakers don't win this game.

    LBJ with only 4 shots?

    It doesn't make any sense.

    As a martial arts coach I’ve been telling my players to play tough D and be aggressive and good things will happen.

    Yeah - most top heavy team in the league with Doncic, James and Reeves.

    Im sure being up 3-0 is part of it too.

    Still - your point stands, we aren’t playing the FO -FO-FO Sixers or 86 Celtics with Bill Walton asleep on the bench.

    League Pass continually showing the game break screen instead of the Power Dancers is pissing me off

    This is how the Rockets used to look when Harden was out and couldn't play.

    What a pass by our baby Shepp! If the Rockets become the first team to win a series after being down 0-3, it can be done against this shitty ass Lakers team.

    I don’t know what the f*** the Rockets were smoking playing so tired and slow games 1-3.

    They were also in their own head. Tonight we look like a completely different team.
