    Must win. DO NOT let this go back to OKC, cuz we're likely looking at a Game 7 in that scenario.

    The Rockets will choke like they always do, the Thunder bring it back to Game 6. @DonKnock put me on your thread.

    We have to finish this off in game 5. I don't want to go back to OKC for a game 6.

    1st page. I think the thunder will be extra physical. The top 8 should sit when we get a 30 point lead to avoid injury while Russ stat chases.

    Rockets bounce back and bottle up the Thunder. Game over by half time and they never get to within 20 in second half.

    Spurs series goes to 7 and we get plenty of rest and time to prepare for Spurs. Beat Spurs in 6.

    Obvs this is my idea scenario...haha

    Do not go back to OKC! It is very hard to close a team out, and WB will go nuts. This must end in Houston, Tuesday. I am wildly rooting for Memphis to upset SA.

    Game is irrelevant.

    Thunder have cracked the Harden code.

    Press and deny/shadow him the whole game.

    Series over.

    Harden retires in shame.

    I like to look at the positives. There have been things that improved each game. Last game Ariza hit some threes. The Rockets did much better with rebounding. Let's build on those improvements and have the rest of the team step up their game.
