    Why wouldn't he stay on the court..foul trouble
    Paul knows exactly how the rockets play. he will be the lead voice in knowing what to do.

    How do the Tilman Fertita Rockets show their faces if they lose?
    I'm joking but does Morey just resign in disgust? "I told you mother****er not to do this trade!"
    Mike definitely wouldn't be back.

    It'll be worse than the Spurs meltdown.
    Worse than any Warriors series loss the past 5 years.
    Worse than Daryl being obsessed with the Warriors and losing every time.
    Worse than Clint Capela saying bring on the Warriors and getting punked.
    Worse than Lillard .9

    Rockets better not lose! :eek:



    Can the Rockets borrow James Buckets?

    I can easily see us losing to the Thunder in 5 though.

    There is so much fear in this thread.

    So disappointing.

    That's his nonshooting hand but we can work with it.

    PJ can give that thumb a twist.

    Situation changes with Russ’ injury.

    But don’t be too scared of the thunder. Yes, they have Chris Paul... And we have.... James Harden.

    It's not even close to being the same excitement but better than nothing. No homecourt fans to thrill either teams with emotions.

    Gonna need Gordon & Covington to actually hit their threes.

    Gordon, Covington, Carroll, Westbrook...are all shooting way under their career 3P%

    I have no confidence with this team especially against OKC. I hope for the best but it's always ugly with them

    Ugh, not a good matchup.

    Well we'll see how small ball pans out in the post season now.

    This definitely has the potential to be, perhaps, the most dramatic and consequential first round series in franchise history.

    It's been quite a few years since I've been this nervous about a first round match-up. It really goes to show how much Harden has spoiled us.

    not exactly. once is more than enough, if at all. especially when it doesn't take into account what actually matters. did the rockets win or lose.

    not the most thrilling tweet to throw out in a losing fashion against a eastern conference mid tier team missing 3 of its better players
