For those who think Utah will win one/are saying "the right things"...

Tilman Fartita approves

 

I'm just as confident about this series as @Plowman and most of Clutchfans, but -

Rockets still need to play the games. for safety.

 

Shake it off Dream

 

Anyone else scared of the Bucks? I'm straight terrified of the Bucks. More than I am the Warriors. If we do end making it to the finals, can we beat them?

 

There is a sweep coming...the Rockets are NOT a real 4 seed...everyone seems to forget that...

 

We already played playoff Utah last playoffs, and they haven’t changed anything. But we changed a lot, and they have to figure us out. All pressure is on them.

 

That is a sad Ootan though.

 

Rockets need to worry about playing an away game in Denver and trying to rebound against Denver.

Ima say it rightt now, Nikola jokic is better than lamarcus Aldridge. Jokic is more skilled, faster, and stronger not to forget plumlee from Duke with the Denver nuggets!

Rudy gay is only thing saving the Spurs right now!

 

Let's win the next one before talking sweep

 

It's always been Gentleman sweep, now a real sweep is possible at least.

 

Until you can dominate a team on their home court, it's too premature to talk about sweep. All Houston has done is hold serve

 

One can talk, it does not mean everything spoken has to bear consequences.

I think winning one on the road is expected, winning two requires luck.

Losing 2 isn't a surprise either.

If you are a championship team, winning one is required IMO.

 

actually... it was the last loss that was the determination on seeding - as 2-4 was still in play and had yet to be determined...... jus sayin... lol

but i agree that GSW sooner rather than later is a good thing... i think were more apt to be healthy (knock on wood) and obviously we're firing on all cylinders at this point...

 

is it the year ? time will tell

I have been extremely impressed with the defense and i love that mike D has not shortened the rotation

 

There are not set rules. I'd be surprised if Utah won both.

 

I have seen stranger things to be honest with you than a home team getting hot, the away team getting cold and the D becomes inconsistent again.

Given that the Rockets play the best bball in their life it is doubtful but not impossible.

It is glaring how untalented the Jazz seem against the Rox, obviously they are not that bad, the Rox are just that much better and a very good mismatch.

 

I think we will go 3-0 and then lose game 4. We will win the first round in the 5th game. Tonight's Warriors /Clippers game should be interesting...Scott Fisher is crew chief. Does that mean we could see Fisher Saturday in Utah? If so, I change my prediction for game 3...we lose and win game 4.

 

Let's just say I am not easily rattled or surprised, an 8th seed upset by the Clippers against GSW would def rattle me a bit.
