    I'm fine if the Rockets loses by 10 as long as they actually show up to play with some sort of hunger or fire that were missing in their pitiful performance on Sunday.

    There's no shame losing to a better opponent as long, but don't just drop the pants and get rimmed without putting up a fight.

    I feel the Rockets will run out of fuel even they play well.

    The Most Important Game of this Season for the Rockets is Tomorrow.

    MUST WIN if they want to Advance closer to Boardwalk...

    Big game from Harden and Lin. Rockets win a close one.

    Must win? How?


    Look at this video. RW is like a beast, even five rockets cannot contain him.

    I just can't see Lin excelling against OKC's focused and determined defense

    these are completely different scenarios. Brooklyn is nowhere near the level OKC is playing at

    I hate him because he is a beast on pure athleticism. He never comes of as a player that is smart with the ball. Thank God we have Harden not Westbrook.

    Based on Basketball Reference's SRS ranking, this OKC team had the best regular season since the 08 Celtics. This team is for real, maybe one of the best 3-4 teams in the last 5 years, including those teams that ended up winning the Finals.

    The higher the SRS the harder their schedule was, right?

    When was the last time Harden had a good shooting game ? His shooting has cratered towards the end of the season.

    Shiz. Did anyone watch how amazing GSW played today?

    64.6% fg and 56% from 3.

    4 starters with 20+ points.

    Insane.

    Thats what we need to do.

    With Harden leading the way, dropping 30+, lin 25+, chandler 25+, asik 15+

    then. and only then..maybe we might join the list of Game 2 Road winners (CHI + GSW).

    I'm excited, I think Harden, Lin and Parsons will bounce back.

    Just not good enough playing arguably one of the best teams in the NBA.

    This is the a team where every1 on the roster is experiencing something new, from Dmo, Tjones, Beverly to Lin, Harden, Asik, and Parsons. They are the youngest and currently the most inexperienced team in the league, and yet, here they are in the playoffs; and though they face OKC, the goliath to the david, you must have patience.
