    Almost all hope was lost
    but nobody told Max

    The result of this game was a pure championship

    this game birthed Clutch City, which is what this place is named after.

    93% of the teams that lead 2-0 advance to the next round.

    Clutch City doesn't believe in stats, it believes in heart

    But some go fishing instead. Like the Suns in '94.

    yes, but the key points work for any period of basketball

    1. make adjustments at half time
    2. role players stepping up

    Unless your team has Tracy McGrady on it, in that case a 2-0 lead means nothing!

    Funny, this stat notably did not hold true for the 94-95 Rockets, nor unfortunately for the 05 & 07 Rockets.

    Kind of a misleading stat if you are using it to indicate that we have only a 7 percent chance of winning.

    That stat contains all the years of 1 seeds going up 2-0 on 8 seeds and so on.

    I remember being so frustrated at halftime of this game I just went to sleep especially after those 4th quarter implosions of the first two games. I have never been so stunned in my life when I woke up and heard Max went nuts in the 2nd half and the Rockets won.

    The Rockets can still win this series. We've been relatively close both games but didn't do the intangibles, and too many turnovers. If we win both home games, I believe we win the series

    Rockets should win game 3. Game 4 will be the tough one.
