    It’s definitely a black guy named Johnson.

    we played pretty terribly offensively (outside of James and CP3), but were able to get out of Oracle with a victory. I think if we keep the ball movement going, move early in the shot clock, and keep the pressing defense, this game is ours for the taking. If you’d have told me in October that we’ve got a chance to go to the finals by winning 2/3 against GS, but we have home court, I’d have taken that in a heartbeat. Let’s shock those media “experts” who gave us no chance (and still dont)

    Oh, one final request... let’s have James posterize Draymond again, bc that’s still fun to watch.

    Sorry, one more request... is there a way to get the ESPN crew instead of these atrocities, particularly Weber and Reggie? I’d much prefer JVG

    Good thing about a home game is role player usually play better at home so hopefully Tucker, Ariza, Green, and Clint have big games to compliment Gordon, Paul, Harden.

    I hope we win tonight. It would go a long way to dictating the destiny of this series.

    We have all the momentum going into this game. I'm confident that they can in fact win tonight. I think if we win tonight, the warriors will be done in 6.

    I was able to watch games 2 and 4 and enjoy a bottle of wine. I missed games 1 and 3 because of work and a road trip. Good news, I’m off games 5, 6, and 7.

    I feel for you, dude. I wore my Rockets gear for the two losses, and I was wearing a Celtics shirt I got at a thrift shop years ago for the two wins. I will be wearing the Celtics shirt again tonight. Not nearly the sacrifice you are making, but we all have our different responsibilities to ensure a victory. Go Rockets!

    THIS is what I'm talking about. People have been complaining about lack of people in seats at tip-off.
    I suggested this a month or so ago. Make beer and food cheap in the early hours and people will likely
    flock to the arena. Also should have a fired up (tipsy) crowd.
    Glad you heard me!
    Good work Tillman!

    One thing that has to change is no slow starts tonight for us. We can’t keep playing with fire and playing outta deficits.

    Gosh how much do I want the rockets to just blow the **** out of these arrogant warriors and shut the haters up. It’s been so long.

    I feel like someone outside the rotation is gonna have to contribute. After the last game those 7 guys can only give so much, LUC MAKE YOUR LAYUPS AND MAKE THEM EARLY.

    I'll be looking for us to expand our rotation tonight, especially if we get an early lead. I think our bench will be eager to prove themselves and hop aboard the train...and obviously our stars need some rest!

    Time to go Big Game Hunting tonight. Go Rockets, send the Warriors back to Oakland dazed and confused once again!
