    Usually I give crap to Harden, but this was not all his fault. D'Antoni should have plays set up incase this happens. Also, Ariza and Green nutted up at the worse possible time..

    My take is that it shouldn't matter who we play first if we are as good as we think we are.

    Thunder will beat the Warriors in a first round matchup without Curry

    Don’t understand why the mods haven’t figured out that Swiss Roll is RocketsTruth. Ban him please.

    Lol yall is dumb... NBA best record clinched and we are complaining about losing a meaningless game to a desperate team? These last couple of games shouldn’t be treated much differently than exhibition games.

    Sure they will.... at this point, the Rockets just secured the Thunder to the chair as soon as the regular season ends. I am so glad we took care of business early this season because at this point none of our players should be playing on all cylinders until playoffs start.

    OkC got they best they could put if everyone on their team tonight. Rockets didn’t play well and were missing 2 key players in a game that meant absolutely nothing to them. Yet OkC barely won. I have no concerns about playing the thunder in the playoffs

    Lol no. It's a 5 game series at best if we see them in the first round.

    If you REALLY believe this, why bother to watch/follow/comment on basketball? The script is already written, right? You know how many people would have to be keeping their mouth shut to make that possible? That's like 9/11 conspiracy level ****. It all sounds very compelling until you consider reality.

    No, but what they do have is Westbrook’s insensity and mentality to want to take it to our guys and defend our best players. Harden and CP3 are both not wired like that. Last year some games were really close and Westbrook lost it, but you never know, it only takes a few times for him to get it right. So it can backfire as well as be an advantage.

    Funny, I thought we would have more trouble against the hot Blazers, yet we fall to the Thunder and Raptors.

    The matchup problems are pretty clear.
