    Look, this scares the sh*t out of me. I'm nervous about the double bigs especially after what Curry just did to Zach Edey in the clutch. I'm nervous about Jalen Green's ability to be efficient in this offense. I'm nervous about our playmakers' lack of playoff experience outside of FVV.

    I'm not a superstitious man at all, in fact I've often been called "too logical" by close ones. However there is something about the fact that I had a dream years ago that Jalen Green would end the Warriors dynasty. Then last season it's the Warriors who put an end to our play-in chase - raising the stakes on this dream. That wouldn't have ended the dynasty from the looks of it. Then this season SO MANY things had to happen for us to end up playing the Warriors in the first round of our first playoff series. The Grizzlies fired their coach weeks before the end of the season. Warriors HAD TO acquire Butler to be here. We HAD TO go on a crazy run to end up 2nd. If we end the Warriors now, they will be in a catastrophe this summer which may send Curry on a goodbye tour.

    This sign could have come in many ways. A thought. A sign. A symbol. My favorite player of all time is called The Dream and I had a dream. It's too perfect. In this dream, Jalen Green ends the Warriors Dynasty once and for all. I don't know if that means he'll be the best player or score a lot or be very efficient or just clinch the decisive game. I just really believe Jalen Green is going to play a big part in ending this god forsaken dynasty.

    There's no logic to it and my brain is yelling at me to not do this. It's showing me flashes of you guys turning on me if Green has a bad playoff showing. It's showing me flashes of you guys mocking me for Green being mediocre in this series. It's showing me Jalen Green making dumb mistakes in pressure time. But there's another voice in me that says: Believe in that dream.

    So let's go, flame me all you want, whenever you want. I'm putting myself in the hot seat. I will be shattered if we lose and don't expect me to have my head on straight after any playoff exit (I'm a Rockets fan first after all), but I'm willing to take the punches after.

    Let's f*cking go Jalen. Most importantly, let's f*cking go Rockets!

    Playing a hard, physical series against a team that he has historically struggled against will be a hell of a test for Jalen. Everybody's opinion of Jalen will shift after this series and I certainly hope that it'll be positively--after he kills the aging Warriors.

    Don't need him to be a superstar yet, don't even need him to be particularly efficient. But if he can put constant pressure on the Warriors' defense and make the right plays as he has been for the last few months, I think he'll win over some of the most fervent doubters.

    “I have a dream that little pacifier chewing falling on the floor douchebags and little spastic kicking donkeys will one day play together against little roided tantrum criers and fat chubby tantrum criers!

    Let ratings cha-ching from the garbage infested streets of San Francisco! But not only that, let ratings also cha-ching in from the gridlock parking lot ghetto freeways of Smell-A as well!

    And when this happens when we allow ratings to cha-ching from every clueless corner we will finally be able to join grubby hands and sing in the words of the old Montgomery Burns satirical: WWE at last thank fraud almighty we are WWE at last!”

    It won't be just Jalen. The whole team has to show up, especially FVV. He has to have better shot selection and he needs to be efficient.

    Curry's going to be looking out for blood after being shut down last game. Kerr's going to be ready and force the Rockets to switch Amen off Curry. Ime will have to be ready to counter and may have to go with smaller lineups in this one - Bari, Tari, Brooks, Amen, Green / Alpi, Bari, Tari, Amen, Green or some similar combinations.

    So if Rockets win Jalen then that means Jalen put the final dagger no one else

    But if the Rockets lose then Ime, coaches, Alpi, and teammates failed Jalen

    Listen, I've turned the leaf on Jalen Green but this fanbase is coping real hard right now think we're going go out there and spank the Warriors like it's nothing. I guess 5 years has really been a long time and people already forgot the pain and suffering their team has dealt onto us. They won a title in those 5 years too.

    Jalen is from near by so he should have a ton of home fans in the arena. There's no better time for him to make a name for himself. Time for him to channel his inner Jamie Lannister and go full kingslayer.
