    Lmao I just rewatched some of the highlights on youtube again, and I noticed Harden gave Lin multiple screens in game 1, and Lin scored off of a lot of those screens.

    HAHA we should totally keep doing that

    Wouldn't it be funny if Lin and Beverley were both out for the game.

    No we wouldn't know how funny it'd be because we're not trying to have them both out.

    Anyone else see Bun B on ESPN talking with Stephen A Smith and Skip Bayless this afternoon? He mentioned Dwight Howard having a TV show here in Houston, and they all started tearing into Dwight. We all know SAS and SB will never shut up, but I would love nothing more than for Dwight to shut the talking heads up.

    I wonder if Dwight did something to piss SAS off. He was a huge Dwight advocate in the offseason/first part of this season, but not so much lately.

    We win the game if the Rockets players get this message embedded in their Game 2 efforts: VALUE EVERY POSSESSION ON OFFENSE AND DEFENSE. TAKE NO BREAKS.

    Will the Rockets come out like the Clippers or the Bulls?

    Clips, Raptors & Pacers all took care of business. I sure hope Rockets follow their lead(s).

    Hopefully not the Bulls because the season would be all but over if that's the case...

    This is the question. The Bulls were literally in the same exact position as the Rockets and now that series is essentially over. Also, for that don't know, Portland is now favored to win the series.

    I HOPE EACH OF THE ROCKETS PLAYERS COME OUT TOMORROW WITH 100% FOCUS AND THE RIGHT TOUGH MINDSET.

    FOCUS ON HOW TO GET STOPS AND FOCUS ON HOW THEY CAN ENSURE WE SCORE IN THE OTHER END.

    EACH PLAYER HAVE TO HAVE THE MINDSET THAT EVERY PERIOD THEY ARE ON THE COURT THE TEAM HAS TO OUTSCORE THERE OPPONENT. NO IF'S OR BUT'S OR EXCUSES.

    It depends, if the coaching staff saw what happened on Sunday and makes the necessary adjustments, we will win. We only lost by 2 after making some crucial mistakes. These mistakes are easily fixed, provided we have a coach who can see them.

    If we do lose tomorrow, it is all on the coaches for not preparing the team and learning from their mistakes.
