    Delusional like when we were down 19 in an elimination game on the road?? Obviously the odds are not in our favor, but calling us delusional is downright insulting. This is the WCF.....we're SUPPOSED to believe in our team. If you don't, then kindly **** off.

    ESPN has talked a lot about how 'impressive' it is that Lebron has made it to 5 straight Finals. And they talk about he is only the player to do that who didn't play for the Celtics back in the day.

    I keep hearing that and thinking.... "meh. Eastern Conference."

    I don't think us being down 1-3 is exactly where we would want to be at, but I see your point.

    Yo yo, it's not about being "delusional" it's about taking it one game at a time.
    Are the odds in our favor? Nope. Can we win this series? Nope. Is it a bad thing however to just take it one game at a time and see how it goes for us? Nope.

    There's just something about this Rockets team. They always seem to play well and hit the it 3s when they're facing elimination

    We absolutely can win tonight, and we can win this series. It won't be easy, but anyone that thinks we can't hasn't been watching.

    GSW are 5 points and all the officiating help in the world away from being down 3-1 themselves. Them assuming they are entitled to this is more delusional than us thinking we can win.

    Yeah, it took a 45 point quarter for us to hold them off and win by 15, and it took Thompson going lights out suddenly and having a 37 point quarter to still lose by that amount. We lost two games by a margin of 5, and had we not fouled intentionally at the end of game 1, would have been 3. They are so close to having been down 3-1 themselves that they have no right to this hubris.

    The stats about being down 3-0 no longer apply. We aren't. We have won. We won the last game. We have played well in their house. They should be more concerned. I'm thrilled they aren't. Curry basically said as much in his post game. If we come out and play like we are capable, there's no reason we can't win this game tonight... and the stats on winning after being down 3-2 are a hell of a lot different. Someone is going to break the "no one ever won AFTER being down 3-0", it may as well be this team. They are qualified and Clutch City Certified.

    I didn't realize it was delusional to support one's team in the face of adversity. It ain't over till it's over.

    "I'm going to leave y'all with one thought. I'm a big believer in fate. I have a good feeling about this."

    I don't know why, but I really believe we'll come back from the 0-3 hole and take this series. Just because it hasn't been done before doesn't mean it's impossible.
