I don't think we can hope for a much better game from Harden than we got in game 4, at this point. He would have found a way to do something against Matthews by now if it were possible. This comes down to Troy Daniels/Jeremy Lin IMO. Lin's minutes need to be reduced and he needs to actually do something worthwhile in those reduced minutes. Daniels should get those additional minutes and I think that will increase our chances.
lolll lowest vote for wisdom of mchale. that would be a comedy movie how about Lord of the 'Ring': Return of the Red or Lord of the 'Ring': The Two Towers photoshop go, someone.
This series is just one signature, cocked back, tomahawk James Harden slam away from being flipped in a differen direction. I predict we see that happen tonight, and I predict we see the Euro-step back in all its glory. Rockets win, and force a game six.
I mean I would like to say Wrath of The Beard, Proof of The Best SF and the Redemption of Linsanity. But quite frankly I've been hopeful of those things at the beginning of each game since game 1 and walk away feeling heartbroken and bitterly disappointed. I'm not getting my hopes up for tomorrow. Hopefully everything works out. No need for the Return of Superman as he's been here since the Playoffs started.
I honestly think it will be the first "blowout" of the series. Rockets end up winning by nine or so. Rise of the Rockets.
Win tonight and there's a ton of pressure on Portland to close it out back at home in Game 6....just to avoid the dreaded Game 7.
1. We will have a 10+ lead sometime in the 2Q or 3Q. 2. We will lose the 4th Q again. 3. The game will be going to OT again. 4. Harden is going to struggle again on his shots. 5. Howard remains to be the best Rockets on the floor. 6. McHale will keep sucking on coaching. 7. Lin, well will be Lin again.
The Games we have Lost are the Games we Need to Lose. They are the Lessons that will Make us Better And Enable us to Go Deeper into the Play-offs To Fight for the Championship we are Destined to Win ROCKETS TO THE FINALS
