    Rocket played like concentrated garbage and they are still up.

    Thank goodness our bench is out playing them. Need Harden to heat up and this won't be a close game at all.

    Bev putting the brakes on Westbrook. Suddenly the thunder are terrible. They look like last seasons rockets, just stop one guy.

    The butt hurt in that stadium got them a few extra calls too.

    It's a sad state how playing tough d makes you a bad guy now. Or hacking a guy so he shoots free throws is reviewable lol...

    55 points even though...

    - At least 10 missed layup
    - 5/19 from three
    - 6/12 from the foul line

    If we can just hit some 3s and layups, this will be a 20 point lead.

    Harden needs to attack Adams and especially Kanter in the paint! Go all the way in, don't stop to shoot a floater!
    Anderson, please do something positive on offense! Twice has a pass sailed right past him because he second guessed it. Plus 5 missed layups!
    Gordon, SHOOT MORE
    Capela, we need you out there more than Nene!

    He's averaging 28ppg against OKC. Last game is just fresh in your mind.

    Surely Harden and Ryno won't look so awful in the second half. Hell, even Gordon didn't look that great. How in the hell are we winning?

    Yep. James seems to shrink whenever he plays in OKC.
    Hopefully he can come out swinging in the 2nd half

    If we start to hit a few shots, we will put this game away in the third

    I'd like to see more Dekker in the second half over Anderson.

    Kinda agree, and i don't really know if it's more a mental thing, or he just suffers (a lot) when the game is more physical...i also noticed that he really doesn't like when he has someone playing very physical defense against him, he looks somehow nervous and tbh, like someone who doesn't like to battle that much....but that's just me.

    because we actually have a good team, Sure Harden isn't shooting well, but he is creating for his team mates

    Perhaps he poisoned brew's goat and now by means of nude pics brew is getting Mike to punish Capela.

    Um, he averages 27.9/7.1/6.2 against OKC. That's above his averages in all categories as a Houston Rocket.

    If Harden shows up, we blow them out

    This Thunder team is vastly over-rated. They ahd a soft schedule

    Once they rack up L's, WB MVP nut hugging should dwindle
