The Game 7 performance against the Clips makes me feel confident that this team will be ready. But I'm concerned about one major thing...

Harden >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Klay these first 2 games, and we still lost both

There's going to be one game in this series where Klay is feeling it and Harden has one of his 7-20 games. That game better not be today. We need James to continue playing at this historic level, we'll win tonight if he does it again.

Yeah, if Harden has a poor shooting game combined with Curry and Thompson feeling it, we got no chance.

But will Smith and Brewer continue to be awful on offense? Will Terry and Pepperoni continue to give them nothing at the PG spot? Will Curry continue to shoot 50% from downtown? Will Livingston continue to make almost every shot he takes?

I think there are many more things that can go better for the Rockets than the Warriors. Especially playing at home.

I have a bad feeling that the Rockets will lose Game 3 in a close one, win Game 4 in a blowout, and then lose Game 5. I hope I'm wrong.

Maybe they should consider playing Capela at the three the rest of the series. If he is capable of staying in front of Curry, he should be able to completely shut Barnes down.

I believe our bench/supporting cast will play much better on both ends at home. And the Warriors bench/supporting cast will not play as good. Curry on the other hand, oh boy dude can flat out shot the ball. But I think we have finally figured what to do with him. Last game we brought a quick double and forced him to give it up.

Now can James keep scoring 30+ along with snatching 9 boards and dishing out 10 dimes. I surely hope so.

And Mr. D12 have to give us equal or better production from game 2.

Maybe even have Capela guard Thompson for short spurts.

The line has moved for +1.5 to -1. No bet for me I guess...but I like to see the line move in favor of a Rockets win.

When a line crosses over zero like that late it's usually a great sign.

Whatever happens, I don't think anybody can be disappointed with what the Rockets have done this season. Especially now that Dwight is effectively gimped.

A series win would be an absolute miracle and in my mind would signify our destiny this year to win a chip.

Something's gotta give this season. Rockets yet to lose 3 games in a row and have yet to beat Warriors.
