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

In the next two years I guarantee you the Houston Texans will win their first Super Bowl. <3
And the Houston Rockets will win their first NBA Finals since 1995. Both teams are very close.
The Astros may even make another deep postseason run this year. Hunter Brown is sensational.

I'm just thinking about what could've been for basketball this year. The Houston Cougars were so close to winning their first National Championship. They had everything going right with a 42-30 second half lead over the Florida Gators. Only to go ice-cold shooting down the stretch. 69-year-old Kelvin Sampson had a chance to finally win that elusive championship just like Ohio State head coach Ryan Day (only 46) finally did in college football. And the Rockets can't make enough free throws which have proved costly in all three losses.

The most frustrating part about all the missed free throws was Game 4 when they shot 19-31 free throws (61.3%) while the Warriors cashed in with their free throws actually being free. 20-22 (90.9%). That's basically the game which was decided by 3 points. And the Rockets having the ball down one point late in the game. If we had the lead with more made free throws we'd have won. Warriors would've fouled us late in the game out of desperation. Not even taking into account another disappearing act by Jalen Green (8 points) and Brandin Podziemski scoring 26 points and shooting 54% threes like he's an NBA all-star. And that kid may very well be an all-star one day. He's that impressive for the Warriors.

Going into Game 5 tomorrow night I just don't have any positive emotions. In fact I feel more relaxed thinking about everything coming to an end. I just want it to end. I feel like Russell Crowe in the 2000 movie 'Gladiator' when he's got nothing left and he's just riding the horse across the land barely comprehensible and half dead. Hopefully the Warriors can just put us out of our misery tomorrow night. End this series and move on to the second round. I don't really want to go through the emotions of a Game 6 back in San Francisco. Especially if it plays out a lot like Game 4. That game took a lot out of me. Just avoid that heartbreak entirely and I'd feel more prideful accepting that the brights were simply too bright for us in a 4-1 series loss.

Harden fizzling out like he always does. Never know what version of him you'll get. Either goes off or he just plays like absolute dog shit.

You said he was the missing piece for the 76ers
I believe the phrase "best supporting cast embiid has ever had" waa used for the 5th consecutive time
