Alright, we've almost dispensed with the preliminaries. ....

Sure, I was just surprised how knowledgeable this dude was in regards to the Rockets. I don't think he is a fan of the team, but he sure knew the details of recent Rockets history. Props to him cause to succeed in his line of business, you must know the business. Indeed, our success in these playoffs will, in large part, depend on how well we can defend. I am hopeful.

 

Damn you, Jake. As soon as I read the first sentence of this thread, my fingers were poised to type... until I scrolled down to your post.

Well done.

 

Cheers

 

TBH, I don't trust Gordon night in and night out either. He can be very good, and he can just disappear. I also don't trust CP3's health. So yeah, only three guys I feel like I can depend on in the playoffs.

Yes, you can tell I am a glass half empty kind of guy.

 

How shall I use my powers? Hmmm????

No way we win the championship, this team will likely be out in the first round.

This stretch of a game i also believe is the true scenario that the Rockets must play well thru. To me the solution is High Pick n roll basketball and james taking to the hole for the floater. We Will not get many fast break points so the easy shots we need to get is the floater.

 

I have next to zero confidence in the bench. I think House might be important. Otherwise, I have no confidence in the Brick Brigade, Rivers and Shumpert. Green is very erratic and Nene is big but only good for a few minutes. Faried can't stay on the floor. Who else is there? The refs swallow their whistles and Harden fades. Hard to know what will happen, but I am not beaming with confidence. CP3 and Capela are going to have to bring it, and Tucker needs to find his shot. Every game is going to be like mud wrestling.

 

With great power comes great responsibility. Thank you for using yours for good and not for evil.
