    KD’s last 3 home playoff games he lost by 25, 15, and 6

    KD has lost his last 7 playoff games overall

    this game is the season…if they lose here, it’s over

    they must come out swinging and set the tone early, because if not, Toyota Center will turn into a Lakers home game quick…and I’ll be ready with tomatoes to start chucking at Ime and Sengun

    Hope the home cooking helps our guys step up and knock down some shots. Could get very ugly if the shots aren't falling in G3.

    Let's go Rockets!

    We’ve now won 1 and lost 3 since ****ing the starting lineup up

    In would rather lose in 4 than 6 or 7

    Watch Grady cover this and match the insufferability of our offense.

    failing to score 100 pts in the current nba is some nasty work

    LeBron is undefeated after getting a 2-0 lead in his career. So good luck Ime. good luck, rockets.
