    harden really helping keep this close on those 2 plays.

    samadji (?) chirston has more pull-up jumpers than our whole team i think. would be nice if they would stop hitting luck shots to keep it close enough for us to collapse (because i'm from houston and YES WE CAN).

    Still nervous that we will give up a huge run to OKC in the 4th.

    This is looking like nearly every Thunder/Rockets game so far this season. Let's just hope they don't blow another big lead.

    We better not let our foot off the gas in the 4th quarter. OKC has made a comeback in every single 4th quarter against us. Let's finish them.

    James Harden is picking apart the OKC defense. I wonder what Billy will do to counter this. Should be interesting.

    OKC played well against us in the 4th Q. NOT this game! Blow them away in the 4th Quarter! Blow them away!

    MDA with some brilliant coaching. If Kanter is gonna muster offense for OKC, then we have to expose him on PNR (same thing GS did last yr). Either Billy D will sit Kanter or continue to get wrecked by the pick and roll God James Harden.

    That's what the commentator said on root sport. I just hope he is okay. He is the heart of our team

    you must have not watched the rockets this season to see how many big leads we've given up...i guarantee you we won't be up by double digits for more than 5 minutes.
