You pose a good question, yes. You see the look of our team vs their team on the benches after the game? I dont think we too concerned about the loss.
A full strength, healthy Rockets squad that play their normal game should beat SA in 4 or 5 games if they match up in the post-season. My concern is the Rockets' plan B and C, their mental composure and ability to respond to adversity consistently when shots are not falling, calls keep going against them, the inevitable non-calls and LMA or whoever goes streaky hot, shooting contested fade aways and jumpers. The 90's championship teams were well-versed in adversity, they lived, breathed and chewed adversity. High-scoring matches, defensive slug-fest, all-in, elimination games on the road, popular opinion against them etc. - checked, signed and delivered . Being Clutch in adversity was their calling card. This team shows promise and potential, they need to deliver in the post season.
Like the other post about the rockets these pasts games, they haven’t play well they play poorly against the suns and barely won it. Today no one but pj brought any kind of energy. Harden was careless with the ball and carefree. Didn’t seem he cared, prob coz we already cliched the top seed so the know this doesn’t matter. I wish they had giving a better show even though I barely watch it because I was busy. I still feel we are way better than the spurs and better than we played. I can’t wait for the playoffs to start coz I know these next games might be kinda annoying to watch. I’m hoping Cp3 turns it to another level. Actually hoping everyone will but the key players that need to do it are Cp3, Nene and pj. They will make everyone else switch it to the next gear. And hopefully they won’t let Harden do whatever he did or was going thru on game 6.
The Rockets have HCA. They don't care anymore until the playoffs start. I wish Harden would rest though
I'm not worried about these games, however MDA have to understand that Spurs are doing the same thing.. over and over. Stick at the three point line and crowd the paint on drives. Need to get that mid range jumper working.
