    Can we please have some fans in the stand tonight, just looking at Donovan Mitchell being in that atmosphere to the point where he just cannot talk is what we need!!

    Expect the unexpected. If the pubs are falling behind, they are going to throw the kitchen sink at us. Put Capela on the line, Aaron Brooks, etc...

    well we all know that’s not gonna happen...TC sounds like the local library in comparison to places like Philly, Utah, Portland, etc...sucks, I know

    expect it to not be full at tip, a meh crowd, and for there to be smaller pockets of empty seats than we see during the regular season

    As long as they chant Wolves In Six at some point, I'm satisfied.

    The game isn't til 8:30(more like 8:40, really). If fans can't be in their seats by then, then why buy tickets in the first place?

    Probably the reason why the NBA is giving us the late time slot during the playoffs

    Rockets will win a close one, Harden hitting a dagger step back 3!

    I re-watched that 3rd quarter and really liked how CP3 ran the offense and Harden came off screens to hit 3s. They should run more Harden off the ball plays, doesn't give the defense time to setup and key in on Harden as he dribbles around.

    Ready for today though. Get off work at 4, training legs for two hours at the gym, get some errands out the paint and still get home in time before the game. Im lit.

    This is a closeout game. The Stros aren't playing simultaneously this time. And the tipoff is at nearly a quarter til 9. There is no excuse to not be there by the time they do player intros.

    I can only go by the history of what typically goes down at TC, but whatever, the Wolves are about to get sent on vacation and I can start deciding if I want to go to game 1 or game 2 vs. Utah once the 2nd round schedule drops

    I think Utah would be tough because of the way they are structured to protect the rim. I however believe (and have witnessed) Harden going up against the best and finishing against the best in traffic throughout his time as a Rocket. I like and take those chances.

    The biggest thing about Utah is slowing down Mitchell. However he is a great player so marginalizing his supporting cast (Crowder, Ingles etc) would be more paramount in my opinion. Mitchell won't beat the Rockets by himself....I don't care how great he is. Rockets have CP3 and the MVP......that's always enough to win in the end.

    Rockets need to take care of business first tonight....

    That would be awesome, but dont hold your breath. It's more likely that the seats are gonna go from being 15% empty to 50% empty if they're up 20 in the 4th lol
