    And Cleveland. And any team with great players.
    We need to stay even keeled.

    I remember we had like a 20 point lead against Golden State in the WCF two seasons ago game 1 and they went on a huge run and eventually came back to beat us.

    Come out and play smart basketball, keep the lead up if you can, and come into game 2 with confidence.

    I like Baron as a commentator, he should take over KG's garbage corner

    One of the best playmaking and pace controlling games by harden. Just playing amazing. Ariza, Ryno, Lou all contributing.

    Gotta have the dog in them to start the 3rd! Go out there and win the 3rd quarter and the game is over. Bobby Brown and KWilt can play the entire 4th

    Astros 45-8
    Texans 60-17
    Rockets 70-39

    Don't know if it's true but it feels like this.

    This is amazing. This is the type of game though where if the Spurs come back and win it could end the series. Where as if the Rockets lost a game that was close throughout I would not feel that way.

    I hope they can win by 40-45 though. Plllllease

    I'm shocked that Pop hasn't switched up his defensive plan yet. They can't afford to switch everything... Look for Leonard to be covering Harden from the get-go. We need to survive the first 6 minutes of the third quarter...

    I told my wife, with the Rockets that I KNOW, they need a 30 point lead to possibly win by 7
