    Rocket have reverted back to their default dog nature without the KD ball watching.

    It is good experience regardless. Jabari and Reed and Tari all look and have performed with more confidence as the series has gone on.

    Of course not.

    But a larger person can, at will.

    The past is the past, just gotta look forward. Let's be happy the team didn't let game 3 and all the made up KD chatter affect them. That's tremendous maturity considering them being down 3-0 against Lebron and a bunch of scrubs and hasbeens was a huge embarrassment.

    If we ever have a decent shooting game, we blow them out by 20+….

    If rockets extend the series, KD will probably **** up the dog nature. Rocket too young and impressionable; will just KD watch instead of hoop.

    Biggest win of the year facing an elimination game on the road. 5 versus 8.

    Exactly! I’ve been telling my wife the same thing… do what got us here last year. Play like UH does and it will take you far!

    Tari is making Stone look brilliant. Gotta retain him now.

    Jabari contract also making Stone look brilliant. Incredible leadership by JS tonight.
