That Clippers series really worked wonders for this film. The invincible Team of Destiny are being forced to scratch and claw on their own homecourt just to escape with victory.
I was very surprised by the crowd during Game 7 in Houston. It compared to the best crowds of any team.
Effort at this point is enough to satisfy me. The bill laimbeer part of me would be even more satisfied if curry broken an ankle. That's why don't let bill come to partys....
Its time like these I go to a song that always cheers me up and it is very fitting for a rocket team especially for a defeat like this. We are going to win 4 in a row and im calling it now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OV5_LQArLa0
OP is right. As long as we play to our potential it doesn't matter if we win or lose. We had some great teams for years that juuuuuust missed the playoffs, yet guys like Lowry and Scola really played hard and did their best. It was a joy to just watch them compete. Then we had TMac and Yao who again and again juuuuuuust missed getting out of the first round of the playoffs...yet they competed, and played hard, and it was a joy just to watch them compete. Note to OP: as much as we share your appreciation of our team...we still want to win.
if you think rockets have played their best baskeball your kidding yourself. Dwight is hurt. Smoove struggling. Prigioni can't defend. And rocket lose 2 games a combined 5 points.
OP is right on and I'm on that bandwagon, sucked to lose that way but the want and effort was there, "that is a damn good team over there"
Proud!!! Rockets are playing basketball out there..... I believe The Rockets can win two at home..... I know they can. I know they know they can.
The fact that we lost by so little in the first two game should be encouraging if anything. Given our 4 "blowout" losses in the regular season, this team has completely turned around and showing great energy in the last two games. The two home games will be very winnable, it's just that we need take one win in the Oracle. Given we take game 3 and 4, Game 5 is the most important game in this series. Good job lads!
When your best isn't good enough to be up on the scoreboard. That is devastating but acceptance will come or the Rox need a small miracle. Either way, WC finals is a success this season.
That's the problem. He's played too well NOT to win one of the games. I don't expect him to sustain those FG%. Only way to win is for the other guys to step up.
When Howard and Harden play like that, how can you complain? I'm so proud. Still think we can win this series. Am I crazy?
SERIOUSLY!! This team is a bounce or call or two away from being up 2-0 The Count Down . . . . first is was 4 . . . now it is 1 . .. . next game we win!!! Rocket River
Its Howards fault for passing it back to him in a obvious double team situtation or not calling timeout....Dumbass play
what dont kill only makes you stronger. I believe it's these type game, one's which rip your heart out, are the ones that makes the fire burn hotter. We saw how .9 charged them up. Can't wait to see harden turn up the motor some more!
