    I kind of made that same comparison to my friends. End of the day we saw that they can be beat at a place where no one else could in a game style that we normally would have withered in. You have to take that momentum and use it correctly. Not a Game 2 to Game 3 situation again.

    We have to win tonight, go into their place, and convert all those Warriors bandwagoners into Rockets fans. After the win, Harden grabs a microphone and does the big "we can all change" speech.

    That's Rocky III.

    If he dies, he dies.

    Good for you! The movies haven't aged, they still hold up incredibly. Get to watching.

    I know the original Rocky won Best Picture, but I really think Rocky IV was the best film in the series. Love that movie.

    @ico4498 in post #12
    Excellent. I’ve used the same quote from “Predator”

    Rockets
    Player    ......................Avg mins in WCF series.(only)...........Playoffs prior to WCF series - avg mins
    Harden.................................36.2 mins.......................................................35.4 mins
    CP3........................................36.5 mins.......................................................33.3 mins
    Ariza......................................33.8 mins.......................................................32.3 mins
    Tucker....................................37.0 mins.......................................................29.8 mins
    Eric Gordon............................33.1 mins.......................................................30.6 mins
    Capela.....................................26.5 mins.......................................................32.0 mins
    Other players received fewer mins not worth mentioning.

    Warriors
    Player..........................Avg mins in WCF series (only)...........Playoffs prior to WCF series - avg mins
    Klay T........................................38.4 mins.......................................................38.0 mins
    K Durant...................................38.5 mins.......................................................36.8 mins
    Draymond................................39.5 mins.......................................................37.4 mins
    Curry.........................................35.5 mins.......................................................31.2 mins
    Iggy............................................27.2 mins.......................................................27.5 mins
    Other players received fewer mins not worth mentioning.

    Turnover battle has conveniently been won by the victors.
    Game 1
    Rockets 13 Warriors 9
    Game 2
    Rockets 13 Warriors 15
    Game 3
    Rockets 19 Warriors 8
    Game 4
    Rockets 10 Warriors 16

    *Green = turnovers by losing team.
