Harden bumpin Travis Scott - Impossible

You the one, you know me the best
You the one I call when I'm stressed
This the time of the year I feel alone
This the time of the year you should get it on
This the late night, you know the deal (Deal)
On a late night no where to trill
Yeah, I'm on the west, yeah, I'm on the west side
Off the drugs, no, I'm not the best guy
But you know I always get it done
You done had all of the rappers, I'm the one, yeah
Ain't gon' lie, I remember how it feels, yeah
Ain't gon' lie, I'mma tell you this for real, yeah
Split a pack of the woods down
Ride with me, yeah, you wish you could now
Always come and go and never fail
It was never love, I could tell now
She popping more Blue Chanel just to get it up
Parking lot full of foreign hoes on the regular
With their painted toes in they heels
Let's go find a place that's far from here, for real

Nights like this, nights like this, I wish I could do the impossible
I wish I could do the impossible
Nights like this, nights like this, I wish
I could do the impossible, I could do the impossible


'Cause you the one, you know me the best
You the one I call when I'm stressed
This the time of the year when I'm alone
This the time of the year we get it on
I can't lie when I ride on the west
Yeah, the west, yeah, yeah, the west side
And lately I ain't been feeling the best
'Cause you the best, yeah, you my best high
(They know what you're dealing with
Know you know what's wrong, what the feeling is
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Rastas rolling in Benz up in here
Bottles popping and the bars up
Man da run up the Benz make them gun claps in here
No fear, no fear, you rock, I hear
I'm gon' let you know that the man is for real
Yeah, for real, for real

Nights like this, nights like this, I wish I could do the impossible
I wish I could do the impossible
Nights like this, nights like this, I wish
I could do the impossible, I could do the impossible
I wish I could do the impossible
I wish I could do the impossible
I could do the impossible

 

Why do Harden and Tuck walk together every game? Harden trying to jack his style?

 

Curry will play a role in Rockets win.

 

If Luc can make layups then hes a plus to the team.

Good defender who can create a bit off the dribble. Hopefully his corner three comes back.

 

Hopefully he's healthier than he's been.

Brush his shoulder pain off

 

I believe that Prince will come back to be a positive tonight.

I put $80 on us to win.

Rockets 112 Warriors 104


DD

 

Tonight will be a game where the Rockets are facing the Worriers and the refs.

Harden, CP3 and Gordon need to keep attacking the paint.

Keep roughing up Stephanie Curry and let Cupcake Durant get his points.

Let donkey keep bumping his donkey gums.

Also, if Ryan Anderson can give us 4+ 3 pointers today or the next game to help us win a road game, I might forgive him for wasting a bench spot at 20MIL a year.

 

Not sure why I always feel inclined to make a post with a prediction for big games, considering that nobody really gives a damn about some random person's prediction. Having said that, I get the feeling that one of these two games will pretty much be a convincing Warriors win...but the other will be a close game and a defining moment both in terms of this team's progress towards the ultimate goal AND in terms of CP3 and Harden's legacies. So just in case I'm right, I say that tonight is that night. Red Nation reclaims home court advantage and lets the world know that they are seriously capable of beating this Golden State squad: Rockets 113, Warriors 109

 

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

This is terrible news!!!!! I’m sorry but I have zero confidence in Luc with his bad shoulder. Every possession he misses a layup it’s (minus) four the other way. Missing a three? Warriors will keep daring him.

I really truly hope this is a wise decision on MDA’s part. And not just a rotation play. For the record, I don’t hate the guy as a player. I just think in the minutes we’ve seen him since coming back from injury, the team is better without him for now.

Sage

 

Perhaps. But hopefully not tonight.

And conversely, I dunno who mentioned this on tv, but think of the psychological lift to the rockets should we prevail today in light of all the bluster from the Warriors.

WOuld be HUGE lift!!!!

Sage

 

Additionally I want to say this... the players on the Warriors not only do not fear the Rockets, they don't even see us as relevant. To them, we are just an inferior speed bump. This is evident by some comments by Draymond, Kerr, and even Steph. We NEED to come out tonight and let them know that we ARE for real and that we have the weapons and versatility to beat them four times out of seven. These Warriors got a mean uppercut the other night in game 2, but now it's time to land that overhand to the jaw and let them know what CLUTCH CITY stands for.

 

If this is the real DD, I think first and third quarters we’ll see who comes out focused and hungry from the get go. That and I really hope Luc gives us some productive minutes and a few field goals too.

Capela is another X factor should green sag as some have mentioned. Ive always thought how nice it would be if we had more dribble drivers like Ariza who can feed the soft lob to capela and make gs pay.

Sage

 

The line keeps moving more towards golden State, -8 now.

 

We need to send GS to an early vacation TO the hamptons.

 

I'm with you. I'd rather see Joe Johnson out there. He has a history of coming up clutch on the biggest stages.

 

Luc must be missing layups in practice.
