I am scientifically proven to be 4% more positive than TMACFORMVP.

Two's lucky, three's a charm.

Harden needs to score at least 30 tonight. and on less than 30 attempts.

Tonight's refs:

Mike Callahan


Ron Garretson


Bill Kennedy

we don't need haren to score 30
we just need to stop aldridge, lillard, batum, matthews, williams from scoring

So this game will be on ESPN but anyone know if it will be on locally on CSN1 (639) or CSN2 (710)? CSN1 has Astros game scheduled tonight.

It's do or die time for James Harden

Since I vow not to post during the game so we can win, all I have to say is LETS GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

we need young Joey Crawford the GOAT

i would actually start jlin tonite......see if he can get off to a fast start being aggressive and throwing a bit of wrinkle in the offense.

Let there be another game after tonight.

Don't count on it. We are talking about the great coach McHale here. If anything, it will be the same minutes allocation for the first 4 games, 40 minutes for starters until early foul trouble

Usually after a big game, Lin gets teens minutes the next one.

But that's when "the living is easy", it's do or die in the playoffs, maybe he will reluctantly do it differently; and I mean, it's not like Lillard suddenly went off in game 5.

Who's place is he going to take? Beverly? I think not. He's the only guy with energy on our team and we're going to need it for a do or die game. It makes the most sense to swap him out with Harden, but that's not realistic either, because well, James Harden.

Lin is too inconsistent to be trusted in a win or go home game. We've seen him have great games followed by a stinker. If Beverly is still sick, give Lin more minutes, but otherwise stick with the current lineup.

That's a strange thing to say Lin can't be trusted in a win or go home game. Game 5 was exactly that and he came up huge. That was acknowledged by Wesley Matthews and Coach Stotts in their post-game interviews. And how much energy does Beverley have unless he's over his fever now?

It's all on Harden

We win if he shows up, if he doesn't then we won't be able to get away yet again with his no show performance

Energy is important but I would imagine some of the starters like Dwight are gonna bring it to this game. To have extra energy off the bench doesn't sound like a bad thing?

Quite true, too risky also.

The guy is clutch, and even if his shots are off, his facilitating consistently helps the team.

Need a complete game tonight.

game 6 + elimination game + on the road = no good luck charms?

We need Harden and Howard to LEAD.

Harden does have the ability to shut down Mathews and make HIM work on defense. It's also my hope that Howard stays away from stupid fouls (i.e. swinging his arms into his opponent and hoping the Refs don't notice) so he can stay in the game and protect the basket. Asik is doing a great job on LA, and is becoming better at not going for his fakes. Bev needs to start because his defensive energy is too important. I love the way Parsens took it to the hoop every chance he got. Make Batum work.

JLin needs to protect the ball and play recklessly on DEFENSE. His offense starts with his D.

GO ROCKS!

I want more T JONES.
