super nervous about this one not just because it could end the season, but also because everyone and their dog is picking the rockets tonight.  the warriors have 0 depth and i think that should be the difference tonight, but they do still have 3 all stars. 

cannot afford to come out slow or unfocused. 

 

Time to snap out of that nervousness.....

[TexArcher 37,508]

LET'S FUCKING GO!!!

 

[BigOrange1 6,422]

caepla should just change his name to "draymond's bitch"

[Zavala 1,384]

Lol first time watching since the first one this series. Bogut nice wrap up on Capella. He's playing weak as fuck though.

[Rockethorn1978 6,061]

Capella sucks against the warriors. 

[Zavala 1,384]

Wow they actually called an undercut on a step back 3. Amazin. 

[BigOrange1 6,422]

2 quick ones on steph

The faster he gets to 5, the faster he becomes unstoppable on D lel.

I've always wondered why they don't go after defensive liabilities and especially when collecting fouls. 6 in a game ain't much for how much GS plays their starting 5. 

[TexArcher 37,508]

If that screen by Clint was illegal, they shoud've been whistled for 143 illegal screens in this series.

Score some fucking points in the first quarter for once.  Fucking Christ.

Yup. They sell the contact, jump into the screen, bounce off, and act like they get pushed into the ball carrier. 

Then the other way they just some moving trees out there, but the Rockets aren't fighting through or selling contact. I guess if they gonna do illegal screens, just switching everything like the Rockets do kind of offsets that shit.

[Zavala 1,384]

Holy shit they called the moving screen my gawd

[Zavala 1,384]

LATE whistle there bails em out

Nice PJ corner 3

[TexArcher 37,508]

Curry and Green with 2 each.

Yes.

Good.

[BigOrange1 6,422]

well that quarter certainly could have gone better. 

[APMP 685]

I'll take the slim lead.

This game will come down to wearing down their guys in the second half... they will have trouble keeping up with such a short bench and no KD.

Rockets should play old Dantoni ball and push with CP3 and speed up the game.

Harden and his walking and stepping across the mid court line right at 16 sec gets kind of old. Letting them rest on D.

[Tommy Nobis 905]

Capela still sucks I see

[elguapo 4,583]

We are playing really shitty D

[BigOrange1 6,422]

god, please be good again cp3.

[Telegraph_it 3,354]

CP3 sighting. 

[hookem48 4,631]

one of these days Capella's going to shoot a put back over the backboard.

[TexArcher 37,508]

Looked like a phantom foul there.

[elfenix 34,171]

if one wants to potentially sit with the mother of dragons after the game, does one go to H bar?

[BigOrange1 6,422]

my lord will you motherfuckers grab a fucking rebound already?

[elfenix 34,171]

goddamnit fuck livingston

If we tried to rebound it wouldn’t matter. 

[elfenix 34,171]

nice gordon!

[TexArcher 37,508]

EG heating up!

[Telegraph_it 3,354]

And then more shit basketball. Get loose balls. 

[BigOrange1 6,422]

just shit effort right now.

[Auto Driller 2,504]

Rockets decided to get lazy because of the KD injury.

[elfenix 34,171]

this game feels like livingston vs. gordon.  whoever has more points, his team wins.

 

and how the fuck was that not OOB under the rockets baseline?

[CurlyDumps 4,439]

Gordon 3 isn’t going to count.  Losing right now.  Fucking pathetic.  

[goatsaag 279]

The Rockets playing like they think Golden State is going to roll over. Would have been nice to come out hard and put the game away early, but I guess this will probably be a close one into the 4th

[elguapo 4,583]

We sure aren’t playing like this is an elimination game, pathetic

[TexArcher 37,508]

Too many fucking turnovers.  Come on, fellas.

[elfenix 34,171]

no clock awareness

[HoustonFrog 368]

Total embarrassment we aren’t winning

Three on Curry!

Go sit down.

[BigOrange1 6,422]

3 on curry should matter, but i'm not sure with the way the rockets are playing right now.

yeah curry with nothing and down by 3.  how the fuck does that happen?

turn off your tapatalk sig

[elfenix 34,171]

shit pass by gordon

[BigOrange1 6,422]

absolutely fucking pathetic and embarrassing. 

[elfenix 34,171]

is there anyone on this team that can actually finish strong at the rack?

[Zavala 1,384]

Mama

There goes that man

[BigOrange1 6,422]

finally showing an ounce of life.

[Dutchrudder 11,115]

All this terrible rebounding makes me wonder what Deandre Jordan would cost next year. Houston guy at the end of his career, maybe MLE?

[goatsaag 279]

Has throwing up a shitty shot with less than 30 seconds left to get a "2 for 1" when the 2nd shot ends up essentially being a half court heave ever worked out for the Rockets? We seem to do it every game like it's an intentional strategy but it doesn't make any sense.
