    I think we play them close until the final 5 mins and GS pulls away and wins by double digits the first two games. They straight blow us out game 3 and 4

    Must play tough. Embrace the villain role. Can't get blown out. I'm anxious to see the bad blood on the first play.

    After getting into a heated argument, I played the Corey Brewer Card with my wife. She was like, I miss you too.

    I can just imagine what people will say if rockets steal this series. I wonder how people will react. We will steal it. If we steal this series nba will lose alot of money. Warriors are very watchable. So maybe we dont deserve this? I want to steal this series but will it be worth it? NAH **** IT. Lets GO OUT AND SHOCK. THE. WORLD.

    If we steal it the media will come out and back track all the negative crap they have said all year and spin it like we were really a very good team who should have been top 3 in the west and are super talented and can beat anyone.

    It will be backhanded for sure.

    I hope we do best them not only because im a rockets fan but because I want to see Espn and that loser Ethan Strauss cry like little babies over Steph curry and the mighty warriors have been robbed of greatness by the Villian James harden and the bad dysfunctional coach killer houston rockets.

    How sweet would that be.

    I we do have any chance in This series we have to take game one in Oakland.

    After that I think it could be a very competitive 6-7 game series.

    If we lose hame 1 it's over we'll be lucky to get one game.

    One thing that's not getting talked about though is James harden is playing his best ball going into the playoffs and is performing at a higher level than the Warriors have ever seen him at.

    Will that be enough? Prob not but having a mvp superstar type player can always give I a punchers chance. Dwight has to play big and avg 20/15 and shut the paint down as well as ariza and bev shooting 40%+ on 3s with atleast 3 makes a game.

    We're going to have to avg atleast 12+ threes a game to even give ourselfs any chance do that and we can make it a series.

    Tall task because we've only seen it done by this team maybe 4-5x all year.

    Have bev or kj guard curry st all times, basically just face guard him and not worry about help defense or rotations.
    Go over the screen all the time and dont let deight or clint challenge his shotmonce he gets into the lane, to prevent offensive rebounds.

    Nothing earth shattering or new but we all know BOTH Harden and Howard MUST HAVE Monster Games to even have a chance to have fortunes go their way. Howard Can't have Low IQ games fouling and crying..again not saying anything new here...it's just that we haven't seen this kind of two prong ATTACK all year at a high level from both at the same time that I can remember...maybe a glimpse of a game or two but that's not enough

    Man, I'm not a gambler at all, but these odds seem so worth it to me as a die hard Rockets fan...no matter how much our season as sucked.

    So with that said, can anyone tell me the most reliable place to place on online legal bet for the Rockets? I'm seriously thinking about doing it for the first time. I will just stay home and use the drinking money that the Rockets would surely have me using. lol
