    Should be a busy night for DonKnock after the Rockets win the game.

    Played really bad and we're only down by 6. Watch out for our shooters on the 2nd half.

    He's 0-4. He has to give us something on offense.

    Doesn't seem as sharp tonight BUT Capela is SLOW to get over to Westbrick which is not helping...middle of the lane wide open.

    5 refs?! Like playing 5 vs 8 is not difficult enough?

    Problem is after restricting OKC to 88 points last game, Jeff Biglydick went to sleep thinking his work is done for the season

    Shooting %'s and turnovers are even. The Thunder have outrebounded us 24-15...and they're only up 6. We're taking OKC's best shot right now. And Lou has finally broken out. Matter of time.

    He really is an underrated post player and a good midrange shooter. But Mike D'Antoni only has him to stand on the corner to shoot a 3. That's the real problem. The Rockets don't use him how he should be use.

    Agreed , but I'd be willing to see how it plays out without him .

    We could be looking at a very different game at the 4 min left mark of the 3rd if we can get a few small things to break our way.

    Unfortunately , I think we are going to have to wait until next season to see Dekker . I hope he comes back much improved and ready to grab a role by the horns .

    That asian chick on the uni-cycle is the real MVP. Seriously Harden and Westbrook have nada on her.

    Take into account that he's already attempted 12 free throws

    The Rockets replicate that 1st half and they don't just lose by 12, they lose by 20. We deserve to be down by a lot more than just 6. The momentum is all on OKC's side.

    Billy Donovan's ability to make adjustments is underrated on this forum.

    He was very good at making the necessary changes in the playoffs last year, and has definitely gotten his team up for Game 2.

    It will be interesting to see how D'Antoni counters in the second half.

    Aww, now this is just inaccurate. Some of my favorite people love chokers.

    Don't be fooled by that peace sign earring, she likes getting choked as well.
