I actually think OKC is a lot more vulnerable than people think. Hopefully Lin & Parsons & Harden step up. if we can have Lin Harden Parsons contributing at a highly productive level I think we can win this. But all three have to play well. OKC is definitely not coming out of the west though.
The Thunder are indeed much less potent but at this point this team doesn't have the proper players, coaching, maturity to exploit it.
These reactions are part of the problem. For me realizing that we just aren't winning this series means I'm "off the bandwagon." I am a huge Rockets fan but to think we are ready to take on this team yet is stupid. We have played tough and the games have been great to watch but we just aren't winning the series. (I have a feeling more people will have my line of thinking now.) Just because you don't have blind faith in the team doesn't mean you aren't "off the bandwagon," so cheers to your stupid thread and GO ROCKETS.
You must see the glass half empty in life. I ALWAYS root for my team. Do we have problems on this team? Absolutely. But I believe in the team, unlike you.
Denial ain't just a river in Egypt. “Most men would rather deny a hard truth than face it.” What state do you live in? Denial. Anyone else forgot what winning feels like?
Fan Criticism: Lack of Winning Mentality. Did the Celtic team (who we could beat in a 7 game matchup) give up today? NO. It's because they have a winning mentality. Rockets fans (and maybe players too) don't. (Time to reveal) I'm a former Knicks fan who left when Dolan once again messed up by not matching Lin's contract. After the acquisition of Harden and spurts of great team play pre All Star break, I decided to become a Rockets fan. I believe in James Harden. Jeremy Lin. Chandler Parsons. I believe in the Rockets. They can still do this. Maybe I'm being foolish, but this is the mentality Rox fans need to have. Knickr fans might be seen as naiive for their thinking at times, but the reason M.S.G is such a homecourt advantage is because of the fan mentality. Rox fans. Step up. For this team. That is all, I won't be posting as much on these boards (till next season) if we get knocked off next game. But we still might have a chance. And next year. Especially if we can get Dwight here.

If Harden would facilitate a little more during his little isolation periods, we could still eek out a couple of wins or more.
