    Hopefully we get a repeat of Game 2. The Rockets have dominated the Warriors for most of this series. They've just had some truly horrendous stretches in each of their losses that wound up costing them.

    A lot of tonight rides on Ime though. He has got to start making adjustments in-game if he sees things that aren't working.

    I wish he'd replace Amen with Jabari, but this is Ime we're talking about, so I ain't holding my breath. At minimum, he has to be willing to yank guys who aren't playing well and consider going with a different combination to start the 3rd quarter if his usual starting lineup gets off to another poor start.

    I'm fine with that about 3-4 minutes into the game if Jalen sucks again(and coming out of halftime). I cannot see Ime benching Jalen to start the game though.

    I will be in a caucus for a large portion of this game. Kerr has such a killer instinct now he has the players down he is conspiring against the meme squad!

    Nah he wont. I'm sure Stone is praying to whatever god his wife allows him to pray to that Jalen has a good game today so he can justify having him here another year.

    Anyone know a good site for re-sell tickets? AXS or something else? Might want to go.

    Hell, I'd love for Jalen to have a great game today. And a great rest of the series, win or lose. The best case scenario is for these young players to pan out so the Rockets don't have to make some sort of major trade in order to become contenders.

    When Warriors scrubs like Davis/Post/Santos could play post season games, it's so hard for me to accept Jeff/Holiday/Cam/Reed has zero playing time.

    This is likely our last playoff game.

    Not looking forward to Draymond talking his usual **** to the fans at the arena after winning a playoff series. But if the Rockets don't want to get disrespected they have to play better.
