    We have the athletic wings to defend these guys. Unlike the last two times we met them in the playoffs. We can hang with GS now, we just have to be locked in on defense every game.

    Defense along with home-court advantage should land Houston in the finals

    Dear God can you let the mighty warrior god Ogun manifest his power and will over the rockets for the rest of the playoffs? Thank you and Amen.

    I was just thinking- this has to be one wish that has been "wished " 3 times in the history of mankind.

    Wishing for Monday- only in Red Nation!!!!

    PG13 crumbling under pressure to the tune of 2-16 w/ 7 TO's in OK3's final game ever -- even bowie and mercury themselves couldn't have sang that melody/malady on a more perfect pitch.

    your predictions have all seemed to crumble like a 10 day old slice of toast dropped on the roadside in the arizona desert in july. the pressure is on for you to at least get something right this season now. i mean even PG13 made 2 shots more than you have

    Not as impressive as the PnR between whoever Curry's guarding and Harden.

    You know Steve Kerr is scared, and he is trying to pull every tricks in his bag!:eek:

    One important point to mention is that don't think that Game 1 is a must win situation. Just establish defense and play the game on offense as the situation arises. Don't panic, the jumpers will start to fall down. GS will start making mistakes, and that can be exploited. That is the key to victory. Being mentally and physically ready, and on the same page.
    Go Houston Rockets!

    We got CP3 tuck and Ariza. Don’t worry abt mental lapses. Let’s just pray harden has figured out a way to break through his mental barriers on the big stage.

    just on principle alone, the basketball gods cannot possibly allow bubblehead swaggy pee to have any kind of success at such a high level of the game
