    I bought 2 tickets at $99 each yesterday via Rockets.com. They're upper bowl in the corner, but who cares!? I'm pumped.

    This. This. A million times this. I'm nervous but that's because the Rockets have a knack for ****ting on my heart.

    Optimism Level - Cautious

    Guys, if they crush our hearts, it won't be easier because we were "cautious" -- it would only mean we were miserable before we needed to be.

    LET'S GO! PUT THE OLD PONIES TO PASTURE.:grin:

    Charlie V on 105.3 in Dallas just said Parsons was a full go at practice today and it seemed good to him

    Yeah, he went through a hard practice and appears to be good to go. Devin Harris has turf toe but should play as well. It should be interesting as Parsons said today on ESPN Dallas that he's expecting to hear it from the Houston fans.

    James needs to come out and set the tone. Forget force feeding Dwight for the sake of some ancient relic of basketball musts, "Dance with who brung ya". We have an assassin on our team, and this is the time they earn their money.

    Rockets with a beat down. 110-95

    I think we will win this series, but in losing Bev and Dmo to injury, we dont have a clear depth advantage like we would if these guys were healthy.

    I am afraid in later rounds, should we get there, this fact might be our undoing.

    Because it's sports, it doesn't really matter in life or anything. It's just great hometown sports entertainment. Get a grip.

    I feel like this is the perfect series for McHale to roll with a lineup of
    Howard
    Smith
    Ariza
    Brewer
    Harden

    The Mavs love to come have Dirk set a high pick on the PG, which leads to the Rockets having to switch and have Terry/Pablo mismatched on Dirk. If we run with this lineup, the worst case scenario is Harden matched up on Dirk and Harden can handle that situation.
