Only one team has ever won it all without HCA in a single round. Just because it happened to be the Rockets from 25 years ago doesn't make it any more likely that it will happen for this team. It's important.
Well ****...I am flying into Houston this weekend from Las Vegas just to see the Rockets play on Friday and on Sunday...I hope Harden plays at least one of those games
I hear you, but with this team in the 2020 nba I would prioritize health. Soft tissues injuries like heal bruises and thigh bruises can linger.
Injury report Rockets: Guard Gerald Green (left foot surgery) and center Nene (strained adductor) are out. Guard James Harden (bruised left thigh) and center Clint Capela (bruised heel) are doubtful.
i agree, i didnt mean it as we ONLY won because utah didnt take us seriously, but they were definitely overconfident coming in. there is no way they believed any player not named james or russell could drop 50 on them. there is no way they thought gobert would not completely dominate inside against our small line up. portland is desperate and hungry. they know they HAVE to get games like this if they want to make it.
