I actually thought the OP actually meant to say "Game 7", alluding to the fact that the Rockets must win...meaning it might as well be their Game 7. But I'm not totally sure.
The Rockets have never won a game 7 since Yao Ming got there...never! We are not going to win game 7 on the road. Hence game 6 is a must win. If we lose on Thursday this series is over and so might be this era of Rockets basketball. This team can not take another first round exit.
I get what the OP is saying and we should've treated tonight like game 7. This was exactly what I was worried about. The Blazers come out focussed and fighting for their lives and we don't match their intensity. Too careless with the ball, to careless with jacking bad shots up and most of all too little hustle. The Blazer played tough and we played like we have another game. We can't do that again.
Thanks. One thing I found out thru this thread is many people's amazing ability to understand something that's not written as it is
we need to come out with energy and defend every play. get yao the ball and play lowry more. i have a good feeling we will take care of business at home.
