Okay, I have something to admit. I am the reason the Rockets lost games 1, 2, and 4. No I'm not Jeremy Lin or an official. I am merely a man who made a mistake. My mistake? Letting my girlfriend watch the Rockets. In the aforementioned games, when the Rockets had a lead she would come back into the room to watch the game and instantly things would fall apart for the rockets. However, the day after Game 3 my girlfriend had a 6 AM shift at the hospital so she went to bed super early. She didn't watch the game, and boom, the Rockets won. I have held back this information because I was embarrassed, but now I realize what I must do: my girlfriend is no longer allowed to watch the Rockets for the rest of this series.

You must make sure she doesn't know the reasons she can't watch the game.

Also Pizza, Is there a way we can get her to root for Portland and watch their telecast of the game? That would even better our chances more...

Tire her up and toss her in a coat closet. Periodically give her something to drink and eat. Don't let her near the tv/monitor.

Dump her until, say, next Wednesday. I am serious.

I tried that once, we squandered a 25 point lead against the bulls that time.

I told her we aren't watching the game tonight... Let's see how this goes. I wish she was working at 6AM tomorrow!

Portland radio spending more time talking about who they want to play next, than the Rockets. Local host is seriously worried Dwight will lose composure and hurt someone.

Very curious what lineups McHale uses tonight.

I would start with TT.

But I would go small ball with Bev-Lin or Bev-Daniels to close the game. If Bev looks like he is struggling out there like he did yesterday, I would go Lin-Daniels. (All this assuming Lin is playing decent tonight.)

I would go toe to toe with anyone defending Bev to anyone who wants to slap him down, but he is not 100 percent, and if he isn't looking good, he needs to sit for the end of regulation.

I would definitely not close with Asik in the line up, as that turned out to be a black hole in last game.

Everyone talking about Game 6 & 7... I don't even know if we can win this one. Houston has done a great job of disappointing us when our expectations have been high this season.

Not trying to be a negative nancy but even if we do manage to win this one, don't see us winning in Portland again.

This and have Lin and bev attack MO and Lillard because both are terrible defenders, you have to make them work at both ends

I don't think any amount of pep talk can help the Rockets overcome this one. They are their own worst enemy. I think they lose it tonight. I hate saying that but that's what my gut feeling is saying. Home court don't matter. It didn't matter the first two games. It didn't matter in Portland, either. That said...I would like to see a convincing win that doesn't come down to some miracle play and 3 pointer...or even the last play of the game. And, for God's sake, no OT please!!! I can't take any more extra minutes! I need to wind down and sleep! But, I've predicted losses before and been proven wrong...so I'm hoping for that same result tonight.
