We will win game 3 and then game 4, come back to Houston and win game 5, lose game 6, and win game 7 and everyone will say what a great series it was...
Oh to be young and endlessly optimistic. If the Rockets hadn't let me down as much as they have for the past...I dunno...20 years, I'd be right there with you. I'm thinking we win game 3, lose game 4 then probably lose game 5 or 6.
Man talk about unrealisitc optimism... I wish I could belive that this could happen, but after last night I judst can't. Even if Harden comes to life on Friday, this team just isnt good enough defensively to pull this off at this point. I believe they may win 2 games (3rd and 5th) but I just cannot see them solving the LMA problem without opening up another player (Batum, Matthews, Wright etc...) for a career best night to cursh the dream. McHale is just not capable of figuring this thing out and Harden will still suck azz as a defender for the balance of the series.
what happens if we lose game 3 and game 4???... Like the optimism, but nothing via coaching or by players has shown anyone on this board/fans that things are going to change.
Can Sampson or other "consultants" help provide the rox coaching staff with strategies to stop LMA? The key is right there. Shut him down some how and force the others to beat you consistently.
OP your wrong. We are gonna win the next four games and rip the trailblazers hearts out In Portland. Then we're gonna march into SA and burn down the AT&T center.
Or win game #3...lose game #4....go home and win game #5 and go to Portland win game #6 and go home and win game #7.
If we can win 3 games in a row, it means that we have figured out a way to somewhat slow down LMA and shut down all the other guys. Then, there will be no game 7, we will simply take 4 games in a row. Dallas came back from 0-2 because they still let TMac and Yao score but completely shut down others.
