The Houston Rockets are going into game five of their 2016 NBA Playoffs first round matchup against the Golden State Warriors with their backs against the wall. The Dubs have handled the Rockets thus far, only allowing one win to Houston for 3-1 series lead and it’s been done mostly without the services of Stephen Curry.
As the reigning and potentially future MVP sits and rests his injury, the Rockets are looking at this opportunity to pounce on the Dubs and possibly steal a win on the road, sending the series back to Houston for game six.
It’s something that not many believe could happen, except Jason Terry who guarantees a Rockets victory.
Following from Calvin Watkins of ESPN.
“I’m guaranteeing it,” said the 38-year-old Terry. “If I don’t, then what? It’s a loss, right. I guarantee victory — that’s what it’s going to take. I believe in my group. I know we can get a win here and send this thing back to Houston.”
Terry even went so far as to say he’ll get a new tattoo of the Larry O’Brien trophy if the Rockets win the title. Terry already has a tat of the trophy, getting one before the 2010-11 season, the year the Dallas Mavericks won the title.
“I’m saying right here in front of everybody, I’m getting a tattoo of a Rockets trophy if we pull this thing out,” he said smiling. “You [heard] it here first.”
