    Man if the rockets win tomorrow without CP - I don’t know what I’ll do. My emotions can’t handle this. A part of me thinks we’ll get blown out - which prob will happen. But there’s a small piece of my team bias that says Harden balls out of his mind when we need him most to ShUT everyone up; Ariza steps up big, EG is solid, Capela is a factor and Green/PJ make a pivotal play.

    ...Is prince Luc better now? We could sure use his regular season +/-

    I don't think the Rockets will get blown out (at least I hope they don't get blown out..). I'm re-watching this game 5 and Harden's defense is stellar in the 1st (I haven't finished watching the game).

    When CP went the bench, Harden was on the court with EG, Tuck, Ariza, GG playing against the Starters of GSW. Harden didn't score (missed 2 wide open 3s) but the squad still managed to push the lead without Harden scoring because Harden was locked in on defense.

    Harden even rotated to correct missed rotations by EG and Clint (earlier in the 1st qtr)..

    Re-watching this game is giving me Hope.

    The Rockets are going to win game 6. It’s destiny. The stage is set for an incredible story. All of our shooters will get hot from 3 and Harden will have the game of his life. The Warriors will be frustrated and they will fold as we continue to hammer them with 3’s and dunks. Capela will guard the rim and Durant is gonna be his mentally weak self and miss his mid range jumpers. The Rockets are going to put this away. Can’t you feel it?

    one thing to note.

    chris paul's efficiency with the ball has contributed greatly to the rockets defense.

    chris paul has only 9 turnovers in 5 games compared to 20 turnovers for harden.

    keeping your turnovers low and not letting the warriors get out in transition is huge because once they get out in transition they are devastating.

    harden and gordon gonna have to watch that in game 6.

    Harden has to stop that lazy dribble/pass propensity.

    Game 6, we gotta be goons, I'm talking about getting all up in that A on defense. I will be disappointed if we are not physically inside each of the Warriors tomorrow night.
