The rockets won their last three games by a total of 14 points. Roberson was 3-21 for the last three games. I don't think I have seen a team ever hack a guy when they are up which the rockets did tonight. I was shocked Donovan kept him in. He isn't Shaq or even Dwight.
I like him. He is an excellent wing defender. But you gotta work on your FTs man. I feel for the guy.
Nah, Westbrook was the real hero for the Rockets. As @BigTex pointed out: 4th Quarter stats for all 5 games Westbrook 14/49 FG. 28% 4/21 3pt. 19% 19/27 FT. 70% -23 Harden 12/21 FG. 57% 5/13 3pt. 38% 18/22 FT. 82% +30
I personally enjoyed watching him: A) heave that wide open 3 and barely draw iron and B) grab the ball on the fast break only to get fouled and miss more FTs
Because @fchowd0311 and Billy D cracked Harden' s code when the figured out he was the laziest slowest player in history with horrible endurance. Keeping him in was essential and how the Thunder won game 4 and 5.
If you exclude the 1st game the thunder were +40 with him which means they were something like -50+ points without him. He took some terrible shots, but the the second leading scorer in the series was roberson. The guy who bricked 18+ FTs was their second leading scorer.
I feel bad that an NBA level wing is so terrible from the FT line. He is disrespecting the NBA and Game of Basketball
