    Dude, you know I'm half serious. I yelled when Beverley made that stupid turnover at the end. Almost spilled my bag of weed. Now THAT would have made me cry.

    There was a spell where the first round was an impenetrable barrier. It was only an 11 year span, perhaps you missed it.

    Completely right.

    Defense is about making the other team take bad shots. Everyone is ooohin and ahhin as Westbrook chucks up 3 pointers with 18 seconds left on the shot clock but you live with that. What other superstar does that? Not even Curry takes such bad shots, his 3s usually come at the end of the shot clock and his definition of being open is just different from other players, but even still Curry does not do that time after time after time.

    I was the only one just nodding my head as Westbrook went on that rampage in the 3rd, I knew what was coming.

    LOL

    You & Bev?

    Westbrook: He was talking about 1st team all-defense but I had 42 at the time. Maybe he was dreaming or some s-h-i-t. I don't know what he was talking about. I guess he wanted to be first team all defense. Maybe he was dreaming about it, I don't know.

    It's all good. You have the heart of a Rockets fan and that's all that matters.

    What is important is that without the Rockets signature 3-point shot offense being as productive as it was during the season, they found a way to adjust and still win in 5 games. That speaks volumes about the maturity, spirit and heart of this team.

    Westbrook should change his # from 0 to 42 (at the time)
