Pastor Dillon Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 The 76ers scare me a little. The bucks are good but their entire defensive strategy involves leaving rockets shooters wide open. We shot something like 4 for 17 on uncontested 3s against them. I wouldn’t expect that to continue. Raptors don’t scare me. They might lock us down as well as golden state but don’t have near the fire power. Ideally id prefer the nuggets then raptors but I kinda feel like if we beat the warriors we will have a big let down emotionally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastor Dillon Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 tonight should be fun. If the warriors lose tonight, they are finished. I expect 100% effort and focus tonight, so its going to be tough for the rockets. Rockets best bet is to win game 6 and force a game 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texansfan713 Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 if rockets win tonight, the game 6 atmosphere at Toyota center will be like game 7 vs the clippers a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't see it going 7. The team that wins today is ending it on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team that wins today is ending it on Friday. I think its a must win for the warriors tonight. I dont see anyway they lose at home and then come on the road and beat us on Friday. I can see the Rockets pushing it to 7 games if we lose tonight. We've played 2 must win games already this series, the warriors have played 2 must win games in 3 years. I think we will know everything we need to know by the end of the 1st quarter tonight. If the warriors just come out and blitz the Rockets and put some 35-40 points on the board, the series is over. If the Rockets can win or keep this one under 10, then there's a good chance game 6 is really competitive. This has been such an interesting series. Both teams could easily be up 3-1 right now and neither team feels like its had its best game yet. Lots of points can be made 1. The warriors starting the death line up in game 1 changed the series 2. Austin Rivers has been really good for the rockets, and his missing game 1 had more impact than anyone will ever know 3. Blood Eye Harden is the best version of Harden 4. Curry(26%) and Thompson(30%) have struggled shooting 3s, and you know the dam is going to break at some point 5. Chris Paul, Eric Gordon, and James Harden are also all shooting below normal averages from 3 point range 6. The team that wins the rebounding battle has won all 4 games 7. Both teams have taken almost the same number of free throws and been called for nearly the same number of fouls 8. The warriors starters have played more minutes than the rockets starters. 9. Harden is averaging 35.8 points 5 assists 7.3 rebounds vs Durant who is averaging 36 points 5 rebounds 4.5 assists. Its been an epic battle 10. Eric Gordon is having the series of his career. The warriors have to still be considered a heavy favorite, but the rockets have a chance. Some favorable bounces or calls could shift the entire series with tonights game. So far the home teams have won game 5 in blow outs, so that is definitely a possibility. This series obviously means more to the rockets and the legacies of Harden and CP3 especially. one fact I do know, fans of Denver, Portland, Milwaukee, Boston, Philly and Toronto are all cheering for the Rockets to pull this one out.

I don't see them in back to back years going down 3-2 and coming back against this team. Rockets will end it in 6 if the Dubs lose today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtait93 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 It's not a must win for GS. If they lose tonight they'll force a game 7 and it will be a toss up considering how bad Curry and Klay have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seminoles1 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 A non-elimination must win game does not exist for Golden State. Anyways, if they don't win the title I know the only person I'm blaming is DeMarcus Cousins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
