    Ok, now that this game is definitely going to happen, let's get back to discussing how the **** the Rockets are going to stop the boneheaded play in the 4th quarter?? This is a must-win game, and the Rockets have to come out the way they did in Game 1. No more stupid turnovers, no more shitty shot selection, and no more half-assed defense. Close out hard on everything, rotate quickly and cleanly, and protect the rim. I know the refs have been absolutely God-awful with the FTAs, but we have to continue to be aggressive. It's the only way we can win this series.

    Man, I kind of hate watching Eric Gordon play basketball nowadays. It's nothing but frustration.

    I'm with you until he hits 5-6 3s in a row. Or similar

    Let Russ loose. I can’t wait to see him back. Easily my new favorite player now with his grunt

    Harden, Tucker, Gordon can their legs back. Russell gets a little healthier. I'm okay with this.

    The Rockets need to use the extra couple of days to forget about the last two losses.

    Westbrook should benefit more than anyone with the extra days off.

    Now the Rockets need to take care of business and keep this run going. Don't want to waste another year of Harden in his prime.

    I might be the 10th person to mention this and if so I apologize, but I just re-watched the video of Chris Paul and Russ coming out of their discussion room last night. The 1st time I watched I completely overlooked that Russ was completely dressed out. Marked as questionable last night but he looked geared up and ready to battle.

    I thought Houston came out in the 4th playing smarter offense, despite the results. The reason I am focusing on this is it gives hope that Mike D'Antoni and the team will make adjustments for game 5, and try to snap out of falling into their bad habits.

    Both takes make sense.

    And do not believe they are mutually exclusive.
