    the backup coach not playing green in the 4th, especially while gordon was stinking it up -- was stupidity to the max

    He didn't but we'll agree to disagree. ;)

    Adams is and has been better than Capela.

    The Thunder are a tough match up for the Rockets because of George. Also the reality is that the Thunder have also severely under achieved the last two years... there is a lot of talent there.

    No you dont. That's nice on Letterman jackets, but in the real world, that sh-t don't matter. GSW has had the easiest road to championships 5 straight years. Its good to be Lucky.. Rockets are such an unlucky Francoise it's ridiculous.

    no it doesn't stop being a emo biach. We would have gotten blown out by 30 points in the beginning of the season.

    Harden really didn't have a chance. That MVP was lost before this game.

    The Rockets are not winning anything without Chris Paul.

    When games get big, Gordon tends to shrink. If he was a marquee player it'd be talked about more.

    OKC had 18 offensive rebounds. This a huge problem. And I'm not really blaming Clint. As a team we don't rebound well.

    Adam sucks, overrated center. Narlene Noel caused more problems for Rockets than Adam. The whole OKC team underachieved this season. We lost the game because we choked big time. That doesn't make OKC a good team and Adam a good center.

    I'm literally not watching anymore NBA till our first round playoff game..... and if we play **** in that game and we lose, I think I'm done.

    I had a feeling tonight we'd lose; I even said if we hit our shots we'd win the game. But to blow another big lead with 1 quarter to go.... is pathetic. We actually got our composure back from the last 4 minutes to 1 minute..... then we choked it again. I think Tucker was a joke on defense tonight. How many times did he allow the open 3? I counted 2 key 3 pointers in that last quarter.... the one on Westbrook and the other was on George.

    We could have made a statement tonight and proved why we're one of the favorites, but some of our players went into hiding. I'd be honestly shocked if we make past the 2nd round.

    I actually thought his first half was great but once the Thunder got physical he just became erratic. Soft finishes around the rim and silly forced turnovers when he dosent have the skill sets to pull those moves off and Harden was on the bench andeven more inexcusable was that Paul was hot. Should have let Paul shoot them instead of Gordon.

    LMAO, Lakers up 2 very late against the Blazers. Portland loss guarantees a Rockets 2 or 3 seed. Will avoid the Warriors after all if that game goes our way

    He wasn't the only one though, and he played well in the other game against him, but overall yeah, Adams is probably one of his worst matchup cause he's just much stronger than him, i think there's nothing to do with this, we need to live with that or bring back Dwight and watch him getting offensive fouls and T's after getting frustrated by Adams.

    Agreed it isn't on Clint. It's that small ball crap. Tucker plays hard but he's too undersized.

    The MVP was lost two plus months ago. The only way Harden was winning the MVP was the Rockets getting the #1 seed or the Bucks falling on their face.
