    Wow Rockets have a shot now to win this. 2-0 is a big hole to come down from(Rockets opponents in the playoffs would know this) but it could happen.

    Hate to see Westbrook go down; 2nd in the league in usage rate after Carmelo.

    Everybody's been saying all year that the Harden trade actually improved the Thunder, but these are the situations where the Thunder would need a Harden.
    Martin's not going to do it all by himself.

    Westbrook accounts for 50+ points of offence..will be hard for them to make that up....

    I wonder if OKC plays better without Westbrooks? Prob not. A sad event that turns into our advantage. Houston needs to win this series.

    As much as i'd like to disagree, you are correct sir. Even without Westbrook, winning 4 out of 5 is going to be nearly impossible.

    With that said:

    Was this Beverly's doing?

    I thought Beverly sideswiped Westy's left knee.

    You know what looking back at that play you speak of when Lin got injured. Lin looks like he's going for the ball, but got there too late, and during Sefalosha put a nice little forearm out to kinda keep him away from the ball.

    I thought it was a "payback" play by Sef that wasn't really noticed because Lin didn't seem injured immediately afterwards.

    Thunder fans about Perkins hold on Parsons

    "It's playoff basketball there's gonna be more physicality Parsons shouldn't have flopped after being grabbed"

    Thunder fans on Beverly making a play on the BALL during the game which happened to injure Westbrook

    "F*** Beverley that dirty ass player, can't believe that cheap shot!!!!"


    All I can say to Thunder fans is

    Right!? Seen it, and James Harden isn't exactly at FULL HEALTH either for us. While Durant is, and most of their team. Our team is young, and PB didn't mean to do that. He plays like that, and that's him. Tough for WB to go out like that, but I can't believe he played on it.

    After watching him at first, and then saw him play after, thought maybe he was faking the reaction, and then of course there was the hand slapping away after the time out. WB is a warrior so man he def. wasn't faking it. He knew he was hurt. I guess that adrenaline was just flowing since they were in OKC.

    Beware of the enforcers of Perkins and Fisher fellow Rockets, PB is not dirty, but those two are super dirty in KP, and DF.

    Let's go steal it ROCKETS!!
