    Man, I wish we were a better defensive team. This was hard to watch.

    They will if it's dunks and layups. Rockets need to stop ball watching and close the backdoor.

    Exactly this was expected. To be down 7 when it's basically a do or die for them, puts us in position to win. If the Rox can keep it close til the 4th, the pressure will fall on the Thunder to make baskets and Westbrick will gladly take em.

    Good news is that they neutralized Gibson but still gave up easy rebounds

    Would of loved for one of those triple attempts to go in at the end. So frustrating.

    I wish MDA would expand his rotation, like trying Troy Williams in short spurts. Yes he doesn't have a lot of experience but he provides energy and rebounding that the Rockets can use.

    on the pre-game show they literally spent a bunch of time talking about westbrook, then said "don't worry rockets fans, we didn't forget about you, we know you're up 2-0" so they basically just admitted all they want to talk about is okc.

    I'm going to say like I said Game 2, they will have 110 or less...which means we hold them to 45 2nd half....we'll see.

    All it takes is a sequence of 3 stop and another 3 and OKC will fall apart

    They're SOFT

    I don't want the Rockets to let the Thunder get any wins. I really don't. A win for the Thunder, in some eyes, would validate their season more than Westbrook getting the MVP.

    I hope the Rockets are cut throat.

    I'm flattered, but I only inject myself w/ the clam variety of chowder. Since you're a Rockets fan though I'll let you finish on my girl's thetas just this once. ;)

    I expect the refs to call less fouls for the rockets.
