    Dont get lulled. WB can heat up in the 4th quarter. I believe he has been one of the best 4th quarter performers this season.

    Westbrook is good as chit..... Harden makes it look easier.

    Its so easy for harden to get layuos in a half court set

    I honestly believe the refs get together before the game and decide to not call any fouls ont Harden because it's flopping.

    Strange half. So many things don't seem sustainable.

    Rockets just 3-16 from three
    Westbrook just 4-15 from the field
    Rockets outrebound Thunder 28-21, outscore them 21-0 in second-chance points
    Rockets 42 points in the paint
    Andre Roberson 3-3 from three
    James Harden 0-6 from three

    I'm a homer of course but I really think we're in good shape. Of OKC's 6 threes, 3 of them are from Roberson and another one was a bank shot

    Has Harden made a shot beyond 15 feet?

    Taurean Prince has been making him obsolete.

    I'm serious

    To be fair they are running hard at our threes, we aren't exactly bricking open threes. We just need more Harden layups

    We had a game like this with them earlier in the year. All the calls went to OKC then halftime changed all that. Same thing could happen here. We're in great shape considering our offense is based on the 3 pointer.

    Oh so thats who that was.

    I kept looking at boxscore(T. Prince) and thinking when Tasyhaun Prince will retire.
