    We haven't looked like it lately. Play defense and actually hit an open shot for a change, and then it'll be easier to believe. We're not getting 50 free throws again.

    This is probably our best chance at winning this series.

    DEFENSE + MONSTER HARDEN.... we need both and we need them tonight.

    Dwight also needs to outplay DeAndre when they're on the floor together. Without DeAndre on the floor, the Rockets can get to the rim at will. Dwight needs to draw some fouls on DeAndre. And we need to win the battle of the boards again.

    Would anyone be shocked to see CP3 aggravate the hammy?

    So glad CP3 is playing. Good now our guys can feel the need the play and just not go through the motions.

    CP3 is playing.

    Sweep the leg Johnny.

    Seriously though: Pick him up full court, make him work, run pick after pick and make him fight around/thru them.

    Help him re-aggravate that hammy.

    If CP3 playing is the motivation the Rockets need in the 2nd round of the playoffs, that's a shame.

    He's got a bad wheel. We have to psych ourselves into playing like CP3 is 110%, but reality is...I'd be surprised if he DIDN'T re-aggravate that hammy...

    Chris Paul playing, gotta make him run tonight. Pick him up full court, put pressure on him.

    McHale better be telling every single one of the guys to PICK PAUL UP FOR THE ENTIRE 94 FT. Do NOT let him walk that ball up. Make him work every single second he's on the court.

    Matt Barnes said it and somebody posted it.

    He's not at full strength and this is a very risky move for the injury he has.

    To me that means he's a game time decision. Playing or not, the Clips are sour about the calls last game. Harden and Smith need to continue to play downhill instead of iso ball and idiotic jumpers. Trevor needs to come up huge tonight, same thing with Brew. If those guys aren't making their shots, Harden is sunk. Dwight, well, just be Dwight.

    TBH I think rockets have a better chance with him playing. Just make sure to guard everyone else and make him beat you.
