Lets be clear:


The Warriors are good af, but the Rockets still have a chance to make this a 6-game series.


Secondly, the Cavs definitely have a chance to win their series.


Enough with the overreactions, I didn't take this board to be as reactionary as a bunch of 14 year olds.

The Rockets style of play, plays right into GS’s strengths

Harden might steal a game but this isn’t even close.

Rockets have the potential to score 120 on any night which puts them in a good spot to get a win or two, but man losing game 1 is tough. This felt like a game they needed to win.

The Rockets series is over. That's not an overreaction. They're not winning 4 of 6 without home court.

Harden has a crazy efficient 41 and they got beat soundly.

James was James. Need more outta Chris and Eric. and Kevin to cool off a little. it can be a short series or it can be a long series. If Kevin plays like this three more games. Short series. Wow. What a weapon.

No, I disagree. Its not about that, its about getting Capela involved more, making the GS defense collapse. They MUST get Capela in the lob game more. We will see what the adjustments are for the next game but I dont expect GS to shoot that well in the next one.

I don't know what I posted before the playoffs, but I got Boston - Philly wrong, and I had the Cavs and the Warriors. I probably picked the Warriors in 6.

You’re saying the Rockets “have a chance” to make it a six game series. That’s reactionary. Obviously they have a chance. If you want to go out on a limb then say the Rockets have a chance to win the series. You have clearly concluded the series is over.

I'll say this: The Rockets have been better on the road during this playoffs...I have no idea why, but they just have and even Chris Paul said it after the 2 games we won in Utah. I know its still a tall task.

This was the mindset of Pels fans, too.


Welcome to the rest of the West, though you never really left.

Then prepare yourself for LeBron James in Rockets red.

How do you feel about the turnovers in the series so far?

So you predict the rockets lose in 6. That was my prediction before the must win tonight. I think it’s done in 5 now.

The rockets have to have a night like tonight from Harden, plus a comparably strong one from Paul and/or Gordon, PLUS hope the Warriors are a bit off as a team.

4 out of 7 games.

Tonight actually would have been ideal to steal a game (crazy I'm saying that as they have homecourt advantage), with Curry not going absolutely nova and GS missing what would have been some timely daggers.

That they still lost by double digits is a real tell. Have to throw GS a drastically different look going forward.

No offense, Pels had a great run, but the Rockets have higher expectations and I would imagine Pels fans can agree.
