    Arguably The 3 best players on this current Rocket team are former OKC players. Life is stranger than fiction.

    Green!!! Gordon defense on CP3 was impressive. What a child Paul is, my god, he was solely bringing em back and then went back to petty Paul. So happy he’s gone.

    Just like I predicted a year ago: Jeff Green behind-the-back drive and left-handed finish to ice the game.

    we sealed the game as soon as we stopped taking 3s early in the shotclock and patiently moved the ball for easy layups

    If our bench continues to play this well, it would be great to rest Russ the whole series so he could be fresh for round 2.

    Where the heck did this defense come from?

    jeff Green shows you how good the Rockets could be with a legit SF type players. A large wing that is more than just 3&D. Anytime any player like that has a good game the rockets are good. Covington, Ariza, Green... etc

    Chris Paul said he wanted more movement and the thunder are more stagnant than the Rockets
