    I'm resigned and sanguine about whatever happens next to the Hammy. Tough break but life happens.

    We went head to head with the W's, and we won what was basically a decider at home. And we did it with ridiculous grit and grind. It was ugly and glorious.

    I'm declaring a Writ of Gravy from here on out. Anything good that happens is a bonus.

    Stay calm.

    I said before the playoffs that I'd be satisfied as long as the Rockets are competitive against the Warriors. Clearly, they've met that bar. If the Warriors advance, it won't be because they out-competed us. So whatever.

    The title is a tad misleading, get what you say. Feel the same.

    It ain't over until it is over.

    What kind of loser mentality is this? We're still in it, win it all.

    @what

    The Rockets have adopted the Grizzlies method to winning.

    You must be impressed.

    Both teams were at full strength through 5 (iggy = luc).

    We defeated them.

    In the internet age:

    pivotal game 5 = the new decisive game 7

    Yeah the season could end now and everything will be ok; but as long as we’ve (Rockets) come this far....
    might as well take it to the house.

    I feel a Gerald Green nailing 5 or 6 three’s, Gordon going off, Luc getting playing time and bagging 3 three’s,
    Harden will go off while Ariza gives ya 9 points in a game 6 clincher.

    Rockets smell blood in the water and will relax a little more while still being HUNGRY to end this thing.

    D Antoni will prove to the world that he is a better coach than steve kerr by a mile. So far D'antoni's adjustments prove effective against the warriors. Time to get that wcf curse off your back d'antoni and coach you ass off in Game 6. Show kerr how it is really done.

    Such little faith is disgusting and disrespectful to the spirits that have kindly been assisting the Rockets.

    Yep. CP3 going down stings like none other. Injuries I acknowledge are part of the game. Worriers are the luckiest "Great" team ever.

    That said, from what i've seen......Rockets have beaten the Worriers in the WCF with a serviceable CP3 (not even 100%). That's what WOULD happen had the hamstring thing didn't happen.

    We will find out whether Harden can Saiyan over the Worriers one more time to advance anyway. But this Rockets team as constructed has been a GREAT HISTORIC 2018 team.

    Agree with the sentiment. We've got the formula. Need more depth. And a third superstar would be very nice. Especially if we could get them without giving up Gordon. Or if we have to give up Gordon, replacing him with a guy like Redick.

    But we've got the formula. We just ain't got enough of it. Hate that.

    Good thing is if we go down the rest of the NBA knows. Players are going to be begging to play here. And will come at a discount.
