Is this the part where we all try to jinx this team?

"It feels good to be out of the first round" Tracy Lamar Mcgrady

what are you talking about?
Kobe (USA) just welcome Yao (China) made it to the second round in 2008 Beijing Olympics Basketball competition

Preliminaries round = round 1
Quarterfinal = round 2
Semifinal = round 3
Bronze medal match = round 4
Gold medal match = round 5

1. Chris Webber, after Rockets' loss in game 5, said Rockets will lose this series.
2. Rockets were up 3-2 a few years ago against the Jazz. Rockets ended up losing the series.
3. Ron Artest needs to play better offensively.
4. Aaron Brook needs to execute the ball better.
5. Defense.

yes I was gonna bring that up. We looked so damn good up 3-2 against UTAH. but then we played the 6th game in Salt Lake City.

However, they have the momentum now and the way we played the 5th game, we dont deserve a win.

And MAX nice pics are you gonna make more of these for this thread or not? it's still a bit desolute

[hackle]

and damn, the next game will be on 1:00 am, damn

[YoungMoney23]

Absolute must win game, we do not want to play game 7 at all. We lose this and I have little faith in our ability to win this series.

[Teckon]

Both games that rockets lost were on NBATV.

Game 6 is on TNT. Rockets win!

[Griff83]

Artest needs to step and play better next game.

The first quarter will be very important. Houston has to come out like this is game 7 and there is no tomorrow because really I dont see them winning this if it goes back to portland. Take the will out of them early and show them whos winning this series. If up by 7-10 points at the end of quarter one, they should take the game.

the rockets arent taking this series seriously.cmon rockets! , finish them brazers!

[smapor]

I am not going to even watch this game.

Yesterday was the worst game we played this series. If we have another dud, I don't think I can take it.

Rockets don't know how to close out teams = 4th quarter failures. Goes hand in hand.

Also Yao was totally gassed in the 4th, I am afraid Rick has played him too many minutes the last 3 games. Deke's injury is slowly creeping up on us.

Its kind of Sad how teams who play us, know they have a chance because the Rockets are terrible on closing teams out. Look at the Mavs, double digit win @ Spurs.

@ least i got myself mentally ready to say "we may not even win this series". Its the fking curse of allowing Dream to go to the Raptors..

[YoungMoney23]

If we don't get out of the first round this year I must admit I am curious as to see what Morey will do. None the less this is still a must win game and I still believe in our ability to pull this off.

Has anyone come up from a 3-1 series?

Good Question: I believe there have been 8 teams that have succeeded.

Both games that rockets lost were on NBATV.

Game 6 is on TNT. Rockets win!

I hate the announcers on NBATV. They aren't really that biased, but they are hella annoying. Somebody falls to the floor and they get up at arms excited. It makes them seem like little kids instead of professional sports announcers. Van Gundy, Jackson, Doug Collins never get that excited unless it it's warranted. I don't know what the other guy's name is but Kamla needs to "act like he's been there" and grow up.

Also, Amad is okay, but GP and Cwebb need to go. I guess I'm jaded from charles, Ern, and Kenny. =/
