Haven't been able to win in LA either (postseason) Logical would be we somehow beat LA at home and then get behind 23 points in Game 6, only to cut back within 10 to 8 or 9 and for the drama folks, Austin Rivers scoring 12 points in the last 5 minutes That is a screenplay
Good God this fanbase is full of aggys bad.. Where do I begin.... Ok, you know if this team was getting beat on last second jumpers I would understand the optimism but after two straight blowouts I really don't see where you or anyone thinks this team can win a game let alone the freaking series!!! It's embarrassing and maddening that our leader plays with no heart and our coach pulls a epic fail strategy of hack a jordan and after 27 ft attempts we are still losing at the half.. It's brutal and pathetic to watch.. Even after game 2 I knew the writing was on the wall because we had played 8 qtrs of basketball up to that point and been thoroughly beaten in 7 of them and had 1 good qtr at the right time and then we are told on a podcast by mk bower and clutch to stfu and give mchale and harden credit! Hahaha.. That is aggyesque at its best! We are picking nats out of horse ****! Mchale is in way over his head and harden just doesn't have the heart or leadership capabilities to lead a franchise to a title! Rant over Series over On to next season of the same crap.. Great regular season, look like confused idiots in the post season.
What kind loser pretend Rockets fan lets his appreciation of a playoff series be dictated by "perception" Be a man, Kwame, form your own opinion. Take off those double-wide clown shoes. Don't be the kind of wussy little nancy boy who has to bow down to "perception", especially given how abjectly terrible you are at interpreting it
Backs truly against the wall now, lets see how the Rockets respond. Will they go cowardly into the off season, or will they fight? I love the Rockets. Even though theyve played like crap and Im very disappointed, they are still my team. I'll never give up. There's a game to play on Tuesday, and its in Houston. Fight.
I remember we were down 0-3 to OKC and I went to the game couldn't even sell lowers for $80 each, and we came out with a win. they won in OKC then came back home loweres were going for $200+ then I think they will win tomorrow just like that can they win in LA is the question
That was a little different. There was no pressure on the Rockets in that series. Everyone expected them to lose(especially after going down 3-0), so they were playing with house money. Plus OKC was missing Westbrook which allowed the Rockets a glimmer of hope to at least win a couple games. With this Rockets team, there's a ton of pressure. They were expected to contend for a title, not get their asses kicked in the 2nd round in this manner. If they lose at home in Game 5(especially if it's ugly), there could be a lot of changes this offseason. And guys like Harden and Howard will be ridiculed all summer for the way their team flamed out in the playoffs.

none what so ever..i dont see multiple 30 pt loses in that series..we are just being outclassed in every way possible..
We have got beaten. The fact that they need to beat us 4 times is just a random number set by NBA. We have been beaten.
I was going to post this but you beat me to it. Nice. It is unlikely that we will win this series. But it is not impossible. The next year in 1995 we were down to the Suns 1-3. KJ or someone wrote "No way" (they lose to Houston) on the blackboard after they were up 3-1. We won and then championship. If we had the mentality of many posters here then I guess we should have just given up this back-to-back championship?
