    I gotta say .. Despite our bench being in a flux . I'm not worried about our starting unit at all .

    3 point shooting like this will make this OKC series go 7 games

    He was basically the 2nd best three point shooter for the first quarter of the season.

    This off season he really should ask himself why he's dropped off so much, probably endurance. A lot of the best shooters do a lot of stamina/endurance training (Like Reggie) he should probably look into that stuff if he isn't doing it now.

    The Rockets have really struggled with Minnesota this season. Even that 142-130 win was closer than the final score indicated.

    On the bright side, the Returnderson has been better than I thought it would be, Capela is noticeably improved, and James Harden plays on this team. Nene is a thing now too. Got to stay positive.

    We'll see if the shots go in during the second half. I'm gonna go get a drink and when I get back, I don't wanna see any knee-jerk threads started in the GARM.

    if the Rockets can shoot 37-38% from 3 then this series against OKC should go 5 games

    They don't SUCK but The Rockets are definitely NOT PLAYOFF ready; turnovers, bad bench play and below average 3 point shooting. That does not make a good playoff team!
