    I've seen motion plays before......I'm just not sure why we don't see it more often.

    It seems like Capela had 10 shots blocked from point blank range tonight

    Harden left his jumper in Orlando.

    The difference is that Westbrook's missed games are planned.

    MDA should be charged with negligence

    We aren’t gonna make it to the playoffs in one piece if he keeps riding our rotation this hard

    He needs to unplan them. If a 70 year old Tucker can do it for $8 mil, I expect a 31 yr old Westbrook to do it for $41 mil.

    Lost to the Pistons without Drummond and only half a Griffin.

    So instead of making excuses for Harden like Bronsexuals do with LeBron by claiming that his supporting cast can't ever help me, maybe there's a better system out there that's not so reliant on Harden.

    Anyway, this team is pretty average. So, to maximize whatever chance you guys think they have in the postseason, basically they can't afford to rest Westbrook.

    Its no excuse, they didnt have Drummond or Griffin, this is straight pathetic. Even our stupid announcers are slobbering over Rose right now.

    Rockets didn't play hard enough. Harden is incapable of mustering up energy once he starts to sulk. It is incumbent on everyone else to bring energy to pick up Harden. Clemons did it for a while. Harden played no defense it was horrible. His body language was just awful.

    MDA should have stayed with the bench a bit longer in the 4th before bringing back Harden.

    We didn't lose because of the refs but I'm sick of the obvious fix. It should be called out hard.
