    I guess you enjoyed Ryan Anderson's 1-6 from the field, 0-3 from the 3 point shot. Yeah! That will help us win a championship!!!!

    Yeah, I tried all sorts of angles on this one and just couldn't get a match. I struggled harder than Russell Westbrook struggled in the 4th quarter all series.

    And all that EQUALS a whipped ass. Some good fishing time for them though.

    Your second question is answered by the fact you asked the first.

    If you had told me we would shoot 30% for the series, and not have a single good game from distance, I would have thought the series would be a long struggle, but we won in 5.

    see in the playoffs you can win games on defense if your offense is not there. but against the spurs your offense better be there mire than not

    winning on offense when teams scout everything, every shot, every move, every play is tough. winning on defense is how you win championships though. the spurs are excellent, looking forward to popp vs dantoni.

    No, they are better. But I still think the Rockets can beat them.

    Great to win the series.

    Rockets were decent overall. Our improved interior-play and FTs offset our crap 3PT%. Rockets will need to play better next round. We don't need to ball-out with 3s, we just can't completely suck. Just 30% does wonders if we do work in other areas.

    Harden is still a suspect playoff performer. Roberson deserves some credit, but James already has history and needs to do better. Westbrook's out-playing him this series gives MVP more credence.

    Pat Bev on Rusty WB exchange - "He looked up to me and said no body can guard me, I got 40 points. But he took 34 shots to get it"

    Moral of the story: When your entire team is built around you doing everything, nothing gets done while you sit.

    He sure did but I'm sure he was zoned in on the ball.
