    What sucks is that OKC could be the most hostile and difficult arena to play in...:eek:

    Games 5, 6, 7 will only happen when McHale wakes up from the right side of the bed. So far, he's the most inconsistent Rocket in the team.

    Yeah. It's like a playoff game there every game of their regular season. The fans really come out and cheer them on.

    No, that would go to Denver, maybe Miami.

    Phil Jackson steps in to coach the Rockets and we win 108 - 106

    Rockets are on a losing streak into the game. They willl be nervous for the first playoff game for most of them. They will be pawned before they realize it. I see Thunder blow out us.

    not sure if you're being sarcastic but Lin put up 30 the last time we played OKC. OKC is a terrible matchup regardless if it's Lin or Dragic. With that said stranger things have happened and I think if we split the first two games we could make it a series

    If we can just manage by some miracle to win the first game, then it's on.

    Man this game can't come soon enough. I haven't been as upset after a loss like this since I was a kid. All those ISO's out of timeouts, and dribbling and bad 3's...

    At least I won't be expecting a win this time. Season has been a huge success, anything past this is house's money.

    Please McHale, show us that you know how to draw up just 1 play this series! Please no more 5-20 shooting nights for Harden, no more Lin benchings in the 4th and dear god, please no more ISO's out of timeouts!

    I have no expectations for this game other than I hope we're competitive.

    OKC is long, athletic, high paced, high scoring with good shot blocking, and Houston is terrible on the road.

    Unless the Rockets come out on fire, I expect the Rockets to lose. And I wouldn't be surprised if it was a blow out.

    I've said this in the past 2 games, but its way to hard to even predict Rocket games since we don't know what the rotations are going to be.

    There is nobody in the western conference that scares me, nobody. What does scare me is the fact that the Rockets need to find their shot and find it quick. I believe most of you will agree that it has been missing for the last ten games and maybe more. If they can do this well then the sky is the limit.
