Rockets Ain't ****

Watching the full NBA TV playoffs preview it’s been great watching them every other topic talking Rockets vs Warriors and not a single IF even being muttered. Just a surety that’s the next round matchup

If the Rockets were actually that good, they wouldn't have finished 4th.

Um... the same could be said of us and the 5th seed.

Just sayin.

I do love the positivity of this board tho. I'll hop on board with some. The one thing that I do love about this matchup is that Rudy has a lot to prove after what people said about his performance in the Rockets series last year. And when he's on a mission to prove something he usually does.

A few differences this year--
-- Thabo is healthy.
-- We have Kyle Korver who can go off.
-- Mitchell has a year under his belt and has different ways to finish at the rim.
-- Houston doesn't have Ariza to guard Mitchell.
-- Eric Gordon was a legit 6th man last year. This year he's been streaky at best.
-- Chris Paul has lost another half step.
-- As much as we rely on Jae Crowder, they rely on PJ Tucker.

We blew them out a couple times this year.

They also have Manimal and Rivers.

I’m beginning to think that they’re almost as good as last year. Not having ariza hurts. But they’ve added some pieces too. Manimal is going to be super active and pesky

I'm actually surprised I thought maybe I'm the only one who thought this.

The Jazz are not who we thought the Jazz were after the all star break (way before to be fair too.)

I was finishing Game of Thrones season 2 last night. As Tyrion Lannister said, "There's a lot of brave men trying to break through that gate. Let's **** them in the ***."

**** the Rockets. **** the fans mad we play the Rockets.

It's not progress if you matchup better with one team in the first round. It's the first round. Do what has to be done.

I liked what The Hound said when they were going into battle more. Any man dies without blood on his sword...

I'm rewatching the the first 3 seasons with my gf. I only finished a few episodes into season 4 a long time ago. Rewatching it has been amazing. I missed so many things.

A couple of other things I've learned is no matter how much I like it, it makes my gf cry, and overthink things - Especially the part about Tickler putting rats in buckets, strapping them to people's stomachs and lighting a flame under the bucket.
Apparently, what I find entertaining and understand as history and good writing, she doesn't. I do give her credit though. She's trying. :) The things we do for love.

Anyway, I keep telling her I like the Hound cause he reminds me of me.

I may be single soon, so what's the big deal? Shoot me. I like the guy.
 
The way I see it, we are more than capable of beating the Rockets! We have an excellent defense, both individual defensive players as well as team defense! Our offense, when all hands are on deck are well balanced, with good and above average outside shooters, a great inside game, and an unselfish team first oriented philosophy that produces tons of wide open shots and easy dunks! If we can get a fair shake from the refs and not have them parade Hayden to the foul line just because one of our guys breaths on him, we can win this series!

If the refs helped us as much as they did Harden, we'd have been first seed.

Just saying.
