    Good for you. Let's worry about game 5 first. They still have to beat us one more time.

    You can call those shots what you want, they have made the hustle and clutch plays in the 4th. We've had a few, mainly Daniels and Howard, but more choke.

    Elie knows what's like to be down 1-3 and come back. That's it. You guys are reading too much.

    Normally I'd agree, but the Rockets have shown they have no clue how to hold on to late leads. They're consistently coming up small.

    yep. in normal circumstances, one could be more optimistic...but it's become too much a trend to believe anything else will be different.

    i have slim hope, but it would take harden having to step up.

    Our Championship teams were so different than this current team. They had HEART. If Harden decides to play like a maximum player, if Parsons decides to show up in the 2nd half and actually play some defense, and if McHale grows a brain, THEN I WILL BELIEVE.

    Portland is inconsistent. They stretched 4 good games in a row, it's time to come back down to earth.

    just as easy as it could be 3-1 in our favor...the series easily could have been over last night too.

    I wish and dream that it isn't over, however, I have the following reasons to believe otherwise.
    1. Beverly is hurt
    2. James doesn't play and D down the stretch
    3. Dwight is sooooo basic on offense, easy to guard
    4. Jlin can't handle pressure
    5. Our coach is lost on the sidelines!

    All they have to do is win the next game in Houston.

    Then, game 6 in portland will be a do-over for the rockets. This time, we don't take our foot off their throats and come out with a win.

    Game 7 in Houston - rockets win.

    not really that far fetched. They have had leads in every game. 3 blown fast breaks in a row or carless ball handling has killed them.

    Rockets biggest enemy has been themselves

    Also, you must go through some adversity before you can win a title. Everyone goes through it Lebron, Kobe, Jordan, Isiah, Dream, Magic, Bird. These Rockets have been through playoff adversity and this will help them grow

    I'm confident we will win Wednesday, and as soon as James Harden gets his rhythm back, we will go on a run...let's hope that begins Wednesday and doesn't end anytime soon.

    We have lost 3 incredibly close games, each game was lost because of 1 or 2 plays down the stretch. Two of them at the hands of Lin. We're playing like crap. The refs are sucking. And we're making stupid stupid mistakes down the stretch. Play Rockets ball, stop slowing the ball down when we get a lead, and this series is ours -- no matter what the critics say.

    so you say there is a chance? Portland have played well enough. Give some fking credit where it is due.

    Rockets still have a chance but Portland have clearly the upperhand.
    Can't be that delusional to admit that.

    Portland deserves to be 3-1. It has taken an epic series from Aldridge, but I am a firm believer that the Rockets have a much better shot than what the percentages suggest. These teams are evenly matched.

    And why would that suddenly change going forward?
