    The odd thing is, the Rockets blew the Thunder out by 31 in the first game pick and rolling them to death.... then the rest of the games were a lot closer.

    But along the lines of what you said, Berry still wants the mic in OKC and says "look, they blew out the Spurs, too, so we're alright!" : http://newsok.com/article/5547614

    I think he will try very hard next game
    He might have a big game. . .
    but he has to respond to all this criticism

    I feel like I'm the Bizarro Universe, with all these sports media talking heads and writers suddenly jumping on our bandwagon.

    Michelle Beadle will be the last holdout, because she's got a lady-boner for the Spurs.

    Wow didn't realize LMA was so bad defensively. Rockets were picking on him mercilessly.

    LMA def hasn't looked like his old Portland self. Even SAS fans are turning on him. And they usually love their players even after their stint with SAS.

    This LMA doesn't look close to the guy who punished us in the playoffs 2 years ago. Pops berating may have gotten in his head and that coaching style doesn't work with all players, especially younger guys. Pop screamed at Danny Green, David Lee, and LMA and they all disappeared on Monday. However, don't poke the beast know as LMA, please leave him alone.

    I believe if Pop were somehow forced to not be himself, it would result in this...

    LeBron asked for a fu$#@n playmaker.

    He's man enough to ASK for help.

    He didn't get it.

    Therefore MVP

    Didn't Harden ask for help at the guard?... Wait, did Harden cause this problem all along?

    See Ty Lawson.

    Another Harden as GM help fail.

    This is why Curry is MVP. He didn't ask for help but got Durant.

    Morey should entice Sacto to do it for #10 and then work his magic, he hasn't fallen off his skills are being suppressed by the strained relationship with Pop

    Offensively, he would be a pretty good 3rd star but with Harden being indispensable, we can't afford to have a 2nd defensive liability on the floor who is not an incredible scorer - and he's almost not a great scorer anymore. Some would argue he was never efficient enough to be considered anything more than an above average scorer.
