    The key to this game is turnovers, if we can keep our turnovers around the 12-13 we should be able to win easily. Their offense does not flow well enough to win in the half-court especially with the number of perimeter defenders we have to throw at them. Ariza, Tucker, Moute, Johnson, and Green.

    OKC is struggling. Their offense has no structure and relies on Westbrook hitting crazy shots. They don't have Roberson to hound Harden will need their second highest scorer, George, to check him which should tire him out on the offensive end. Westbrook also leaves his man open for three all the time and that's a bad idea against us.

    The only way they beat us is if Adams manhandles our frontcourt, which he does to a lot of teams. Or Westbrook goes off for 50. Even if both of those happen we could still beat team.

    Some of you might be surprised. I say OKC rallies late and the game is decided by less than 4 points.

    I'm worried about this game. Line is only 4 points and Westbrook isn't a good matchup for CP

    Also, if we win, OKC drops to the 9 seed so I bet they come out with a sense of urgency at home.

    I'm not worried about Milwaukee or Toronto, but I am worried about this one.

    omg harden for the last 3 ganes is only averaging the same as steph and kd for the season lets trade him for klay

    Fyi those 3 games were all wins

    And Harden was +21 vs boston, +19 vs clips, and +15 vs jazz

    As a true rockets fan you should be happy mda, bdzelic, and the rest of the team can win without harden scroring 50 pts a game

    I love how being “short handed” is a lineup consisting of Harden, CP3, Luc, Ariza, Tucker, Capela.....,,,.

    Oh and the “reserves” Nene, Gordon, Green.

    That’s an elite 9-man rotation. The Rockets being “short handed” now pretty much entails a normal deep line up that can still beat anyone.

    This team is unreal...

    Yeah this Rockets team is really something special. I just see them as VERY TOUGH TO BEAT. Boston almost got it done shooting lights out and playing amazing defense. Rockets are just THAT team now that is incredibly difficult to beat over a 48 minute game.

    It’ll take not only ANYONE’S A game (including the Warriors) to beat the Rockets at this point of the season, but it’ll also take a real physical toll to outlast the Rockets.

    Health withstanding the Rockets are just getting used to the mindset of fighting and winning every game they play. This team is ready to win it all this year. It was very encouraging to see Harden and CP3 having off nights and struggling a bit against an elite defensive Celtics team and come back late to win the game anyway. That’s a championship attribute.

    Key to this game will be to spread the wealth and overwhelm them with our depth because they have no depth. We need the bench to produce. Their big 3 will get there’s but if we get a even keeled production from everyone they can’t go with us. 117 to 108 Rockets
