you guys probably win it all with jimmy if not for the shot. sad that you didnt run it back

Tonight could be the end of our season. Watch the Rockets win tonight just to tease me with a Game 6 back at San Francisco on Friday night. Because why not? If they want to break every piece of my shattered heart why would they do it tonight and lose this series 4-1? They're going to make it a 3-2 series and delay my misery just because that's the cruel thing to do. Just more intense basketball and high blood pressure extending into the weekend.

I wouldn't even be shocked if there's a Game 7 on Sunday but I really do hope I can relax once and for all after tonight. Once our playoff run ends I can focus on the NBA Lottery (we have the Suns pick) and also whether or not we can put together the right trade package for Giannis, Kevin Durant or Trae Young. Also I've heard Ja Morant's name being rumored in a potential trade to the Rockets but I want a superstar that's actually focused on winning. Not a fake gang banger that likes to wave a gun all over the place. I'd like to include Devin Booker as a trade possibility but the Suns seem eager to give him that two-year, $150M supermax extension.

I really do believe with a good off-season this summer. The Houston Rockets will be playing in the 2026 NBA Finals next year.
It's been way too long (1995) since the last time they played in the NBA Finals. They didn't even have HD-TV back then.

This was back when the NBA was the best! Players took pride in their defense. You could legally hand check on the perimeter. Disney music for Orlando. LOL

lmfaoooo

31-13 Rockets. Nice start. They could've played up to their potential all series long and didn't do it. That is what frustrates me. I hope Jalen Green is okay. He banged his knee it looks like. Went to the bench in pain. Keep it up and maybe we'll see a Game 6 on Friday night.

Jalen Green came back in the game. Rockets lead 40-24 after the 1st quarter.
They need to play like this every game. Too little too late? Maybe. You never know.
One game at a time and maybe they can pull off a miracle. Down 3-1 is depressing.

This is very true. That team was awesome, even though fit wise Jimmy was a horrible fit with Embiid and Simmons lol.

Ben Simmons could never shoot, and at the time Embiid was a good but not great mid range shooter like he became in his prime. At that time Embiid relied more on post scoring than ever before. Then throw in playing with Tobias and that roster was an awkward fit with spacing but still did well because of pure talent and ability.

Rockets went up 30 points! Now down to 23 points. Can't take your foot off the gas against the Warriors.

rockets gotta step it up

It would be fun to extend this series and see a Game 6 on Friday night. One win away from a Game 7.
It'll seem more realistic. They came back from down 3-1 to beat the Clippers in 7 games back in 2015.

Rockets lead 76-49 at halftime. Ready for the second half. Ready for a Game 6 at San Francisco Friday.
Ready for a Game 7 in Houston Sunday. The 2nd seed has to play like the 2nd seed. Rockets liftoff!!
