    I logged in to see the latest from Max Kellerman and the rest of the national pundits. So disappointed in CF today.

    A must win. Yes, Game 1 is a must win. For psychological reasons on both sides. The intensity must be there from the opening tip and it has to be sustained for 48 minutes.

    We must win game one and ultimately WIN the series to avenge our two series losses to these arrogant azz holes.

    This is basically the finals to me.

    Win this Houston and you should have a great chance vs the Cavs unless you choke.

    This is it. We can send a big message by taking Game 1. Popular prediction right now is Warriors and 5 and that's really unlikely to happen if we win the first game.

    We had a ridiculous record in the regular season when Harden, Paul, and Capela started. In the playoffs, we're 8-2. 80% win rate is very good. And now we expect a team to beat us 4 times in 7? Ain't happening.

    It would be sweet if we close out GS in 5. Revenge baby.

    Ryno needs to see some type of minutes in this series, I feel the spacing he does can help vs Warriors in some spots during the game.
