No better time for a reverse jinx than now I guess
The Rockets are done. There's no coming back from this. Houston is the city defined by chokers and there's no way Houston can come back from this. Choke City, USA.

Even if the Rox are done. I would like to see something out of Harden tonight. I expect the Rox to win Dwight to play well but the MVP runner-up should carry this team to a win. Not just with scoring but play-making hustle on defense whatever it takes. Where is the guy that took a wet on the Spurs in the WCF a few years back? unlike most on here I like James. Sure he flops to much but you used to be able to say the same of Manu, Dfish, CP3 and Blake and are all stars and/or considered clutch ...and have huge fans on here.
I want to see from Harden what I saw out of Steph last night or James on sunday. At least a poor man's version. Otherwise I was right, not a true franchise pillar for a le team. wont hold it against him if they lose series but for one game Harden needs to dominate.
^Killa, with the goods. Get up offin' their asses and act like somebody if just for an hour of game time. Don't go quietly into the nite. Rage & ruin against the impressing blackness.
Anything can happen...some Chinese was selling Spurs le Gear almost two years ago. Look what happened there.
This. And on another note, I went into Academy the other day, and these ers have the nerve to still be selling "Clutch City" shirts 20 years later. Still trying to milk Hakeem's rings. Smh.
it's not a choke when everyone could see it coming a mile away tbh.
They'll win 3 in a row and prove that Harden is the true MVP.
I just want the rockets to win because I cant stand the clippers
Not a choke when you had no chance in the first place. They had no business winning game 2 tbh. Getting outplayed 3 of the 4 quarters.
Not a choke but no way they should lose in 5 games ... nothing about this eventual series loss takes away what Harden did in the regular season ... but this does taint his standing as one of the truly elite players. If he keeps not only losing but under-performing come May how can you trust this guy to lead your team to the promised land?
Say what you will about Dwight, but he has played better the past two playoffs than he has in the regular season and agin I hate that dude ...but facts are facts. Maybe Harden is fatigued from carrying the team ... but does he have any more responsibility than Lebron who is the star player, best defender and defacto coach/GM ? stnd up and drop 30 5 and 5 on the Clips get that W ...if they lose in 6 so be it. But dont let dem Clips celebrate on your court ...
Oh, you're soooooooooooooo right, daddy.
I know but Houston is known for chokes and this will be yet another disappointment in a long line of Rockets disappointments, as was described in the Choke City article in 1994 after the Suns' game. The Rockets are done, no chance.
For what? What have they remotely done to make any Lakers fan make a passing interest at them?
- "It's over."
- A.C. Green - 3-1---in Houston---before flying back to the Valley. - 1995
tee, hee.

That's also the series where Smith fouled and impeded KJ from going to the rim. Hakeem admonished him sternly..."Let him come."
Series isn't over until the clock strikes 0 on win #4, tbh.
Even if they sell your on the tv, eh, tights?
tee, hee.
You notice all those signatures counting down the games until the Spurs win the championship last round, Cub? They sure disappeared fast.
A lot easier to do that when you're the third option and have Kevin Durant on your team vs trying to carry a team with a Dwight Howard who has mentally checked out already as your #2 guy. The Clippers aren't swiping at him and he's being exposed without the trips to the free throw line.
Just like it was when the Suns won 2 in Houston and left, as the Houston Chronicle described it, Choke City.
No, it's over. Good luck on your first ever trip to the conference finals Clipper Nation (double meaning).
You've nary room. They were almost done engraving "LOS ANGELES LAKERS" on the Larry O'Brien before Game 1 even tipped off back in '04. Then Bryant had other ideas.
Shame, shame, everyone knows your name.
Don't worry Houston..... Golden State will make this beat down you getting worse when they exploit that squad in the Conference Finals.
No one giving the Clippers their due. Rockets should have been sweptPERIOD
Very true, the Rockets are good fourth quarter away from having had that fate. That's why the Clippers will have no problem tonight against Choke City.
BTW, I like how you're trying to counter my revers--err, I mean acceptance of fate.
& the kicker? If they couldn't repeat against this teeming landfill they'll never repeat.
