    I missed game 3. I feel guilty and partly to blame for the sh!tty display. No way I'm missing tonight.

    Well obviously. The point is that we could easily be down 2-1 and it begs the question of should we be concerned?

    Well for me, I was simply trying to show that the Wolves kept the game very close and pondering what it could mean going forward in this series, if anything. As for your second question, could and should are two different things. We would, in that hypothetical, be justified in saying we COULD be up 3-1. Just as the Wolves could be up 2-1. The ultimate question I was trying to ask is should we be somewhat concerned moving forward based on this? I honestly think we will be okay and I have solid trust in this group. But if we lose tonight and it's NOT a nail biter, I think we should start to be concerned.

    I mean this is really a good matchup for the Rockets.

    The second we clinched the HCA the team has been out of sorts.

    All we need to do is get back to the defensive effort from the first 2 games and start hitting shots and hopefully this gets this team back to the one that dominated the NBA in the 2nd half

    No, he's not out. They just haven't updated their injury report.

    I don't want to hear any more talk about rest, all I see is rust. If they wanted more rest, they should have swept this team.

    I don't think outlets focus enough on the importance of us missing Luc. To them it's just a 6th-7th rotation piece.

    That being said, nothing would be better than to just punch them in the mouth from the get go. Take the crowd out of it, and just shut everyone up.

    they need to start off fast.. tired of playing from behind early. Need to gut punch them and hope refs didn't get their bets in on time.
