I just want the Suns to win the NBA Lottery on May 12 so the Rockets will have the 1st pick in the draft.
Watch us do it with only a 3.8% chance. About the same odds we have of winning this series in 7 games.

We clearly need to load up with some superstars this summer. I'm open for any trade now. Multiple trades.
Everybody is on the table. I'm no longer against trading anybody on the roster. Give me some real superstars.

We should've just acquired Jimmy Butler when he wanted to come to Houston. Now he's beating us this series.
There's something to be said about having veterans that know how to win. Fred VanVleet kept us in the game.

Also people will ask me do I believe the Rockets can win Game 5 in Houston? Yes.
But what's the point? Maybe it's best if they just lose and can focus on the off-season.

Last thing I want is some false hope with this series reaching a Game 6 back in San Francisco.
We're not going to win on the road missing as many free throws as we do. A waste of time really.

Coach Ime Udoka let me down in this series with the playing rotations as well. Steve Kerr is out-coaching him.
I understand you want Steven Adams out because he'll miss free throws. Hack-A-Adams. But he was +18 coach!

You took Adams out of the game up 5 points. Next thing you know we're down 2 points. Quick 7-point turnaround.
At the end of the day I'd rather have Adams in for his defense, shot blocking and rebounding. That helps you win also.

What's sad is the Rockets would likely have a 3-1 series lead, and definitely all tied up 2-2, if they simply made their free throws.

I don't know how far the Warriors will go in the playoffs but they'll be in trouble once they face a team that can make free throws.

they're winning the chip, don't feel so bad losing to them.

What hurt me the most about last night was the 16-4 Warriors run to start the game and the 18-1 Warriors run to start the second half. Why did Coach Ime Udoka allow that massive 34-5 run to happen without calling a timeout sooner? Going to the three main guys off the bench who gave you the lead multiple times in this series.

Also in the fourth quarter with the Rockets up 5 points the Warriors smartly used the Hack-A-Steven-Adams strategy. But all that does is slow the game down and doesn't affect you defensively. You take that sloppy dogfight of a game if you're the Houston Rockets. Would've been wiser to see if Adams can at least make 1-of-2 free throws. I'd sacrifice one point every possession for his rebounding, shot blocking and defense. When Adams came out of the game the Warriors quickly go on a 7-0 run and lead by 2 points before Adams is back in the game.

We're down 3-1 in this series partly because of Ime Udoka's stubborn coaching. He has to do things his way. No real adjustments.
He didn't even play Cam Whitmore or Reed Sheppard. Cam's athleticism would get us points. Reed can shoot threes. More points.

Maybe Ime Udoka's stubborn coaching works next year if we acquire a superstar via trade this summer. But right now we don't have those easy bucket getters. I'd rather just lose Game 5 in Houston tomorrow and focus on our off-season. I'm sure the Rockets will force a Game 6 at San Francisco just to tease me though.

Houston sucks.

We do suck. But the problem is they're going to win Game 5 tomorrow night just to tease me.
Watch them even win Game 6 in the Bay on Friday night. We'll lose Game 7 at home on Sunday.
The only way to make me feel absolutely worse than I do right now is to end up losing a Game 7

they guna win anything cept a plane ticket back to Houston!!

4-1

That would be easier to accept. I'll take it. Like I said i hope we lose tomorrow night. We can focus on the off-season.
But I already know they're going to tease us and win Game 5 and likely win Game 6. And break our heart in Game 7.

stick to listing to Katy Perry, your in the wrong forum!
