    Seriously, if we take care of the ball, we win.

    They have been super hot and all their scrubs are scoring.

    The only other thing is if WB goes bananas in 4th quarter and makes everything.

    Good fight. Rocket aren't playing that well and only down 7.

    They can do it.

    Harden should really try to help out on the boards in the second half. That will be the key to a blowout or a close game for us.

    The Thunder will not shoot 61% in the 2nd half. Roberson and Oladipo were combined 8-9. That will not happen again. I like our chances boys.

    Withstood the 62% shooting along with 50% from three.

    If Rockets play there typical offensive ball and Thunder drop off at all, we will win game 3.

    He's usually money in the playoffs.

    If he can just hit 1 or 2 per game then keep his defense, it'll be enough for this round.

    Hopefully Anderson stays hot now.

    Under the radar? He's been terrible since the Allstar break.

    Roy Rodgers is like, "This is my time and I'm going to take all of it."

    Roy: They came out with a lot of energy. They turned us over. We gotta do a better job taking care of the ball & if we do turn it over, sprint back. We have to keep Westbrook out of the paint. Can't allow him in the paint. ... It's a long game. We got a 2nd half. We can't fall further behind to start the 3rd.

    To be down only 7 at the half is a minor miracle. Take care of the ball and rebound and you can win this game.

    Got 'em right where we want 'em! :rolleyes:

    Game three: 65-58 trail
    Game two: 68-62 trail

    but for a team that has no help, two near 70-point halves?

    The Rockets aren't shooting too bad. Probable why the game is still close. Gotta step the D up, offense seems to be doing good right now.

    Can the Thunder score 120 tonight? That's what it's going to take.
