A little reminder of how quickly a series can change

I hope Dantoni have another trick up his sleeves. Where is the current Josh Smith on the roster. Jeff Green?

 

I Believe...still. I remember the Rockets down 1-3 to Barkley's Suns...won the championship that year. One game at a time.

 

One kind of important thing of note in that game - is the superstar who was having a bad game did not play in the pivotal run.

As we've seen - Westbrook is not going to be benched.

Lock her up boys.

 

Board needs a giant chill pill. No **** 3-1 is worse than 2-1 but it's still 2-1 and a normal series would mean to protect home court.

Must be anxiety and cabin fever for the shameless meltdown predictions and disaster reveal threads in here.

Some people trying to act smart or prophetic but why ****ing bother?

 

Oh, I've seen some better comebacks than that, and this is only 2-1 of 7.

 

Except Harden was riding the bench during that comeback. Josh Smith and Corey Brewer aren't walking through that door.

 

House would have made a big difference today both offensively and defensively.
Significant upgrade over McLemore!

I believe!

 

where are the players for Houston in 4th quarter? Why the number one offence doesn't know how to put the ball into the net? Only those statistics in playoffs are real. That is why harden cannot achieve those champion players, I understand now.

 

wait there's still a lot of time left...if patience then get champion

 

We've seen in two games in a row the Lakers unleash a smothering defense in the 4th qtr the Rockets can not crack. The Lakers are doubling Harden AND running everyone off the 3 point line AND preventing penetration.

Unless the Rockets figure that out, this series won't make it past 5.

 

Yeah, that defense is great. Can't blame Harden this time. This is where we could use a Gerald Green who can get a decent three point shot off against anyone.

 

On both sides.

Some just suggested Rox would demolish them and Lakers roll over in 6 games.

 

I still have faith, little, but I have. But comparing the heart of that team with the heart of this team is almost disrespectful.

 

You never know. The Rockets’ heart didn’t look so strong when they were down 2-0 to the Suns in 1994 and 3-1 to the Suns in 1995. Things can change. Way too early to give up hope.

 

we ain't vs Chris Paul tho..
Lebron is a different animal. we can't afford to go down 1-3 this time.

 

doesn’t make me feel better...Chris Paul is a playoff choker, he’s no Bron

Bron looks like he’s on super soldier serum

scrubs like Rondo going off in 2 straight games are absolute killers

we have absolutely zero bench, and we’re a dumb team that is consistently suspect in 4th quarters

 

If the rockets don’t win game 4 tomorrow it’s a wrap. This team isn’t coming back down 3-1. It’s not in the cards

 

As much as I despise him, Kevin McHale had the gonads to sit Harden and play the hot hand to a victory. D'Antoni....I don't know about that...

 

Also, if it was D’Antoni coaching here in 2015, he would likely have brought Harden back in during the run and disrupted the roll and the flow that the team was on. The bench led that impressive comeback, while Harden watched. D’Antoni isn’t good at reading the situation. He sticks to the script.
