    yes they picked the perfect time. So much pressure with the entire series on the line . after that you could tell he was phased and did not want any part of the basketball. The second he got it at the three-point line he didn't even try to set up to shoot the three before that and he just threw a terrible pass to Adams which resulted in a turnover

    Harden on Nene just now said, "He is the reason we won the game." 1 don't think anyone in both franchises saw this 12-12 FG, 28 pt shocker to win this game. Most importantly, Nene is game 4, someone else is going do game 5. Rocks have too many weapons, Roberson can't cover the other 4 players. This is the reason we will stomp 1st round and shock more people outside 713281832409

    okc is not a good matchup for us, all our games in the regular season were close for a reason, they have insane length

    Can't agree more, I know first three quarters are ugly, a win is a win.

    Seriously I wish MDA would play Harrell and Troy Williams instead of Anderson and Caplea.

    Alright alright ill concede the mvp to Westbrook, turns out okc needs Westbrook to do everything to lose at home and the rockets need harden to do nothing all game and come from behind to win the game on the road lol

    That was some of the worst basketball I have ever seen by both teams... I'll take the W but man we were trying to give that one away.

    He is a smart basketball player because he sees the floor and makes the right passes.

    However I have never been very confident/comfortable (whatever you want to call it) in his shot selection and clock management in those kind of situations.

    Playoff situation accentuates those flaws.

    I think we are going to have some really bad closing game situations against Spurs should both teams move on to second round.
