    Rockets were only cranked up to 8 in 1st game.

    It's going to get worse for OKC.

    Much worse.

    Yeah, CP3 said in the postgame interview that they need to decide what they are going to try to take away. The Rockets were getting everything last night: Harden went off, the role players hit threes, and everyone got to the basket at will. They will come out with a different defensive intensity, I expect.

    Then get ready for a massacre. It will be raining 3's and more drives in the paint.

    Russ was not a threat from 3 - Green, EGo, Rivers are all much more dangerous from long range.

    I hope OKC does double Harden.

    MDA has already proved that he will use other players to bring up the ball plus use Harden off ball.

    OKC does not stand a chance.

    I think that they will try to play faster, shoot more when they get space (as opposed to driving), and throw different defenses at James.

    Pretty much going away from their playing identity, they have no choice.

    Imagine if we could not play our best 5 together.

    That will be the storyline for all Rockets opponents going forward.

    Turning OKC over and keeping our own TOV down is one of 3 critical keys for Rockets.

    I hope the boys come in ready. Cause they need to look at what has been happening to the competition. Game 2 is a must win.
