    Looking sad for OKC paying a max and close to max money for Oladipo and Adams who are suppose to leap into stardom and not be no shows in the playoffs.

    You could double the wall's height by adding the bricks of Westbrick

    The only mathematical way the Rockets lose this series is by losing 4 in a row or losing Game 7 at home

    People are running with the narrative too that his team is just garbage.

    That when he sat his team blew it...but fail to realize he played most of the 4th qtr, came in, and just chucked up nearly 20 shots.

    The Rockets need to find a way to add McGee on the cheap this off season... The man's athleticism is way off the charts. His B-Ball IQ has also gotten better.

    Didn't Goran and Westbrook have some beef? I remember back when Goran was on the Rockets Westbrook would always try extra hard to show him up.

    You keep saying Westbrook should have passed. But to whom?

    I'm just trying to figure the question out.

    I remember back in the days when they used to compare Aaron Brooks to Lou Williams. Both were similar in all statistical measures but I think Lou edged him out with certain categories. I'm glad we were able to get him because he's the instant offense we need when our 3's aren't falling. I don't get nervous when I see him racing down with the ball because I trust his scoring ability. That's a great contrast from when that ball used to end up in Brewer's hands.

    I apologize for the first 2.5 quarters. I was watching and we were getting stomped. I cut it off when and then saw we cut it to 3, so I left it off. Then we won.

    I shoulda recognized sooner.

    Rockets were terrible in the first half, and found a rhythm in the second. Mindsets, mentalities and rhythms can change from half to half.

    Hp is there a chance to have a thread to see what sort of adjustments Donovan made for this game (and eventually how we adjusted in the second half)? Obviously only if you like the idea and you have the time, sorry if i shouldn't ask but since i see you're doing these kind of threads here and there i thought it was a good idea to at least ask lol
