It ends here

Here's to hoping that the Rockets close this one out tonight!

What I hope not to see is a Houston team taking their foot of the gas. I'm hoping that Paul, Harden & Capela don't forget the disrespectful words and actions of the young star player for the Jazz and just take them to the woodshed from start to finish.

I hope that, but what I think will happen is a desperate Utah team throwing everything that they have left at Houston for the first half and continuing until they can't play anymore. I could see them start to make mistakes, and maybe even get a bit of a lead...before Houston just calmly takes over to end this series.

Let's hope for a good game where the guys avoid injuries.

GO ROCKETS!!!

The Refs aren't shooting very well yet, so I'm glad to see that Ref drive to the basket like that.

What?

Harden doesn't play defense. Haven't these announcers seen the memes?

Love that defense!

Utah looks befuddled.

Now those Refs are hitting their shots!

I've been impressed by Green's defense in the playoffs. He's done a good job contesting shooters and even had a couple nice blocks.

It really feels like he is playing for every kid who grew up in Houston watching the Rockets.

So glad he ended up on this team!

Somehow, it took me all these years to realize the obvious...

... it just never clicked for me that Karl Malone must have worked for USPS ...

... BECAUSE HE NEVER DELIVERED.

*rimshot*

Thank you, ladies and germs, I’ll be here all week!

Gotta rebound better. Way too many offensive boards for Utah.

This Chris Paul guy is decent.

Jeez. Did Harden party too hard back in Houston? So many careless plays.

This is why I like CP3 more than Harden. Sometimes, I just can't figure out what's going on with Harden. He displays GOAT-level talent in one game, but he does have a few games where he's careless and just above average. People say CP3 is overtly competitive, but I actually like that about him.

Either way, the Rockets got this. PJ and Capela were huge!

Paul's mid-range game makes me happy, and it probably makes Calvin happy, therefore it makes me happy...er.

Cookies for everyone!

Wake up, Houston!

Stop giving them false hope.

It's just mean.
