    After hearing analyst talk about this series, they have been talking about how slow the rockets play and iso ball. Did they forget we were playing at the quickest pace in the leauge the first part of the season and still got the wins in easy fashion.

    Did They forget that the rockets can play 2 different styles of basketball?

    Our defense has been quite consistent throughout the year. We have raise it to an even higher level.
    The margin for error against GS is almost zero. Let's go Houston Rockets!

    good question. Same reason some NBA players travel or get called for 8 seconds or step out of bounds


    I'm off my game :(

    That would be unbelievable, but it's
    highly unrealistic. He would be a superstar, if he was able to score with such sophistication and skill. I hope he will rise to the challenge, and play a solid game.

    The anticipation is almost literally killing me. And the fact that nobody really knows what to expect tonight is what adds to the magnitude and the intrigue. To me, it's anyone's guess. Either team could win by 20+, or it could be back and forth and a nail biter. I get this sneaking suspicion that game 1 will be lower scoring than most people expect. Both teams will come out with the same mindset...focus your energy and effort on defense and the offense will work itself out. I say neither team ever leads by more than 8 points...Rockets win 105-102.

    Must NOT start slow. Must NOT wait until 2nd half to start playing
