we will send you some pics

[Sidney Sherman 66]

Garbage opponent. Hope they sweep and keep everyone healthy.

[immortal13 4059]

Come on man, Houston isn't garbage 

[Goo Punch 4275]

Rockets out to an expected early lead. Minnesota is too talented to be this bad, but...they are.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

KAT needs to get his head out of his ass.

[immortal13 4059]

Bad no call on the Chris Paul charge

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

lmao @ no charge. oh NBA, never change

[Machinator 32099]

Clint Capela wants that max contract.

[kopp0e 1135]

When 20 for Capela before half sounds like a solo acapella ...

[Machinator 32099]

Not a great debut in the playoffs for KAT thus far, though maybe Simmons, Tatum and Mitchell have warped expectations for first-timers.

[HtownHorn 14755]

Good game so far. Rockets missing a lot of 3's.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

screw your 3pm. get em the hard way!

[BigOrange1 6442]

jesus ariza.

[BigOrange1 6442]

wait, how is that twolves ball?

[CBT 1282]

Rose looks...athletic. It’s shocking.

What’s not shocking is Harden straight ballin’.

[Machinator 32099]

Most obvious make-up call ever.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

alright...gotta steal this one!

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

cool

[Machinator 32099]

Way to waste a golden opportunity, Thibs.

[Goo Punch 4275]

Harden makes it look effortless.

[HtownHorn 14755]

Doubtful these officials will be moving on.

[kingkoopa6 8377]

P Reed wife need to put them shades back on her face. 

[HtownHorn 14755]

Paul has had an awful game.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

lol oh for fucks sake...Love JImmy but he plays too much hero ball

[elfenix 34331]

that was about the ugliest win this rockets team could possibly come up with

[Machinator 32099]

This game will do nothing to quell the playoffs CP3 memes.

Those last 2 minutes were a clinic in poor execution at the end of the game.

It wasn't even a 3.

Try again in Game 2.

doubtful. I dont think Houstons gonna shoot as bad as they did. 

[Brian Fantana 6690]

I see Harden got his one good playoff game of the year out of the way early

Is Harden going to put up 45 every night, though?

[Artificial Iverson 107]

Houston very lucky to win tonight. This will go 6 or 7.

Yep, that's why they have struggled this season despite having an upgraded roster.    I put that on Thibbs though.  He is way too loyal to his CHI guys.

Doubt it, and I dont think he drains 7 3s a game again, but conventional wisdom says Houston/KAT should have better games....but when you start giving Houston more 3PM vs more 2PM for KAT...that lead gets bigger.

 

tonight was the game to steal, hopefully Anderson is out for game 2 because he kills us. not sure what Minny did on Capella in the second half but he only had 4 points....of course Harden had about 30 in the second half. so what do you do? Stay at home vs Capella and risk harden draining 7 3s or give em a lob that goes in 100% of the time?

 

I can live with pick and rolls with cp3.

Probably not but I doubt Gordon shoots like shit and Paul and ariza as well. Also rose played great and over his head. It’s the playoffs and the West is good so I don’t expect blowouts. Minny was the 3 seed before butler went down and people forget that.

Only real chance is to try to take the ball out of Harden's hands.   Easier said than done but that should be objective

barkley is right, Minn is a very dumb team, bad coaching and dumb players.  They have the athletic ability to be one of the top 4 teams in the NBA but the brains don't match. Yes, Butler took a 2 point shot, easily about 3 feet inside the arc .. what a dumbass!
