    Now looking back at the sweep of okc, I hope the rockets don't become too over confident because okc were not a good team. Westbrook was the team. The next round we will be actually playing a good team. I'm being cautious but I do see us against against GS in the WCF.

    That may be true about his focus, but either way he wasn't playing to 100% of his ability during the regular season and what you've said mirrors that. Playoffs, Hakeem is the greatest of all time. Regular season is harder to make that argument. Either way, he's my favorite player to ever play and I grew up going to NBA basketball games in Chicago, Washington and Houston. I've seen most of the greats that I could have. He was easily the greatest if it was the playoffs.

    L2M Report says, Harden's push off Abrines was a foul. Also says, Adams' intentional missed free throw was a Lane Violation. So correct call would've been. Houston ball with +4, 0:21 on the clock -> game!

    Makes sense to me. I think you leave Ariza in there for defensive purposes and can start Nene and EGo. It seems like Clint and Ryno may just match up better against OKC's reserves.

    No, they're paying them to make it entertaining, all the while, using no-calls to control the outcome of the game to the best of their ability. Lots of stupid stuff happens in the playoffs by officiating on both ends. Would you like me to continue? Follow the money trail, it will lead you to the source. The only sports that are pure are gentleman sports like golf and maybe tennis. Everything else can be corrupted - especially through officiating or PED's.

    I do love watching the Rockets this year improve and try hard to give the system a run for its money.

    Adams looks like he drank about 22 Speights Gold Medal Ales last night.

    I can't wait to see the fire coming out of Bev's muscle gif. Someone will end up doing it!
