    Rockets haven't won a playoff game the same day the Astros have lost so far. Not a good omen for tonight.

    The Rockets are -9 this series and missed 35 free throws. The Rockets may lose this series 4-1, but the Rockets aren't getting beat bad like the Heat.

    The Rockets have a serious spacing issue, but man, is the defense great. I think this series will show that the Rockets' defense is playoff-ready, but they need to add firepower without hurting the defense too much.

    Go down swinging. Injure as many Warriors as possible. Pull out all the stops. Lash out at all the refs.

    if we’re going to lose anyways, might as well be in a way for the org to be forced to make changes

    he needs to be an assistant

    GSW can relax. There's no way the Rockets can beat them on their home court.

    Unless miracle happens and Jalen turn him self to prime Kobe, I wouldn’t be surprised he get traded this off-season. Might as well ship out Jabari, Cam and Reed since four of them are great players but won’t reach their potential with Ime as head coach.

    They've been playing through it for 4 games and it ain't working. That lineup cost them Game 4 with the horrible starts in the 1st and 3rd quarters.

    NBATV just showed breakdowns of 4th from Game 4 …

    FVV was lost and late on a lot of possessions …

    Alpi went for pumpfake on 2 3’s

    DB allowed Podz to go to his right vs closing and forcing him left (Same with JG)

    DB didn’t crash the boards knowing he wasn’t getting the ball, allowing Butler to get final rebound

    This fit Alpi arrived in is 10/10

    Didn't know Alpi had style like that.
