    Expecting Kawhi to go into Beast Mode at home.

    Hopefully we have enough firepower to counteract

    Heck with it. Let Kawhi take all the shots and make him beat you. Don't let Gasol/Aldridge get into a rhythm or involved. Utilize the 5 offensive weapons on the floor for the Rockets and let it rain. A risk worth taking at this point.

    In the two losses Harden was ill and definitely looked it. He looked 100x better in game 5 and he has been a Spurs killer since joining Houston. Expect a huge game from the beard!

    I agree with every point YaoMing#1 said.
    Two of our Brothers were wounded in game 4, 1 in his giant LionsHeart, the other in his giant, umm, ya know uh DownUnder.
    Every battle has casualties. We must move forward to get to the Final Battle. The RedNationArmy marches forward.
    Go Rockets!

    That's interesting. I didn't even consider/attribute the fact that he was sick in games 2 and 3 to his lackluster play.

    Speaking of which.. where has Marv been? I'm assuming he's on another series (and we are stuck with Reggie f'ing Miller) but I haven't been paying attention to much outside of the Rockets and Celtics series

    Ken Mauer is the worst. At least we don't have to see Joey Crawford's ugly face anymore. We miss you Dick Bavetta.

    I know many here despise ESPN but there is a really nice article on Dan Tony up.

    We can win at the Spurs if Gordon, Lou Williams and Anderson have good games tonight.

    If this happens, we will be in WCF!!!

    I think the tone/pace of the first quarter will determine the outcome of the game. If Rockets can really focus with defensive intensity and play at a faster pace while scoring......that will set the tone for the rest of the game. Conversely, if they trudge up the court and get into a halfcourt pace...even trading baskets with the Spurs, that would not bode well for the Rockets in my opinion.

    Coach Dee Anthony doesn't trust him.
