Is anyone else a bit ....nervous about this first round?

Can we even dream of containing Grayson Allen?

 

Not in the least....We're gonna win it all.

 

Harden >>> Mitchell
CP3 >>> Rubio
Capela = Gobert
Gordon = Ingles
Our bench > their bench
MDA > vampire guy
Keith Jones > whoever
Holic > ZDog

 

We need to sweep this because GS will def sweep the Clippers. Lucky ass draw

 

It's good to be nervous. Fans and the Rockets shouldn't take any opponent for granted.

However, when you're feeling nervous, remember:

• Harden, CP3 and Clint feast on Gobert every time they play
• Harden seems to not care that Gobert is 8 feet tall; he is unconcerned by Gobert's length.
• Utah doesn't have enough shooting to compete with the Rockets. Joe and Jae will have to go off just to get close.
• Utah's best defender on Harden, Exum is injured
• Harden seems to Hate Rubio and embarrasses him on a routine basis
• During the regular season, Harden shot 4-27 one game and the Rocket still won by 27
• The only bad match up is Favors, the second string C
• Utah's post ASB numbers may be inflated since they played against one of the weakest SOS in the league. Utah may not be ready for what's coming because they have been playing against the worst competition heading into the playoffs.
• Rockets have Rivers, PJ, Shumpert, EG to throw at Donovan
• Utah has a real problem with TO's when playing the Rockets

The whiny nervous babies in this thread like the op ---seriously fukn grow a fukn pair.

I'm saving ALL my nerves for round 2.

I fear the Jazz like I fear that Zdog is a lyrical genius and will pump Spotify full of anti rockets rap.

 

I’m always nervous. The team hasn’t won until they have. Nothing is a given in the playoffs as we’ve learned by the Rockets two title runs. Gotta go out and earn it.

 

Jazz should be more nervous, so should GSW.

Rockets are on the horizon, so they can run but they can't hide.

 

Nope not nervous of facing the Jazz.

Also, How dare you make fun of a fine food establishment like Taco Bell!

 

I am not worried about the outcome one bit, I am only a little worried about Grayson Allen who may be released to terminated Harden's season. He only played 1 minute against Harden in the regular season, and he already tried to break Harden's ankle.

 

Capela owned Gobert last year.

 

I'm nervous just because I think I'd have to move away from my job in Utah immediately if the Rockets lost.

 

we could be facing jazz with all their starters injured and i would still be nervous. Thinking of a scenario where a bench player will go off for 50 points or the whole rockets going cold from threes. Just cant shake off the feeling.

 

Fck it, i will still be back at McDonald's working on Monday whatever day they lose.

 

Whether if your at McDonald's or CEO of McDonald's the positive state of the mind matters... Rockets outcome greatly affects that. Fandom shat!

 

The extra motivation won’t be enough unfortunately...

 

Nope.

Their best player was atrocious against us last year, and we are actually better equipped to match his athleticism this time around with the additions of Rivers and House. He had one good game against us this season during our disastrous first week, and in the other three games, he shot .327 from the field. Gorbert is a fantastic paint protector, but James and Chris are tailor made to exploit his weaknesses. Who is their third best player? Rubio? Ingles? I actually like both of them, but neither has a ceiling that scares me over the course of a series.

 

I think they should win .

But I think they could lose.

But I'd put my money on the rockets.

 

That's me being positive. I aint got time to be depressed about a rigged league. Last year was the last straw for me. If we win, we win, great. Thank you league for letting us win.
