Absolutely this series is over if they lose game 4. Players better be focused because this is a must win no doubt about it.
Nope. In 95, we went down 3-1 on Mother's Day to the Suns. We all know how that series ended... For us, that tidbit won't matter because we're winning tonight!!! Let's go Rockets!!!
It's not over until it's over. But honestly if the Rockets lose, they lose. The big factor to me isnt if they lose, it's HOW they lose. If they sit back and take the beating like they have been and play without a care, then it won't matter what happens this year, or next, or next. Because this no care style happened last year. The team has taken on Mchale's laid back persona and we WONT win with that. No fight, no motivation, no will.
LOL at people trying to throw out the "bandwagoner" title around willy nilly. Listen sunshine. I and most of these other "bandwagoner fans" can tell when a team is playing with no heart or urgency. This team flat out quit in Game 3. The Dream's Team showed more heart in that first round series against Utah than the Rockets have in a Second Round series they were favored to win (due to CP3's injury).
Seriously, how the hell does a championship team lose by 16 at home to a team without their best player and orchestrator? And get lit up by Austin freakign Rivers? And let JJ Redick get open look after open look scoring 31 points? I hope, I pray the Rockets prove me wrong and show some character in Game 4. I really do. I will stick by this team as long as they show effort. If they let me down with another egg, I won't even show up for Game 5 and hope we come back stronger with Pat and 3Mo next year.
Not only does the rockets need to win. They need to show they are the better team to win the series. Clippers lost game 5 vs the Spurs but Spurs were just lucky and Clippers showed they were the better team.
I have been here for almost 14 years. There is no believing in victory if we go down 3-1. The Clippers have a better matchup against us, and has had a better matchup since H&H joined this team.
If you sleep tight at night with this said Bullshiet then so be it. I do need someone to question my fanhood every damn competitive playoff game. I know whom I going to support and who looks to be the better team out there. Sleep tight, rook.
