    I want to see the Rox come out like they did the last few games. Tough D leading to fast transition points.

    The Rox got team speed and I don’t think OKC can keep up.

    AND the OKC player brought his off arm down on Green in a much more obvious way lol. Of course they didn't call the fouls before and after that play on OKC.

    CP3 is 4th leading scorer and 2nd in assists on HIS own team.

    Harden with 24 and Green with 14, leading Rockets.

    Did RoCo get hurt????

    Only played 6 minutes for the half.

    HA please...nothing to with her gender. Why even bring it up? You are making a issue that doesn't exist. She is bad at her job....she need to go back to the side lines plain in simple. Nobody likes lying commentators blatantly trying to change the perception of the game from what reality is.

    he needs to get back to that post up, step back mid range game. It's lethal and I like the chances of that better than a step back three.

    The average TNT/ESPN crew is obviously anti-Rockets, anti-Houston.

    I complain about the announcers every single game. I like JVG as an announcer, Stan, maybe even Reggie Miller. Most announcers are obviously anti-Houston.

    Probably since Rockets can get hot and blow them out. But I dont like any game where the refs can also take over and **** us over in the 4th.

    this type of tomfoolery from the refs is what scares me the most about our series with the Lakers

    Are they gonna call everything on us as we battle the Laker bigs and Lebron in the paint? Are we gonna have Harden 4 fouls at halftime type of games?

    I feel refs gave them everything they had. Should even out in the 2nd half and lead to a blowout

    Lakers are definitely gonna get a bunch of phantom "loose ball fouls" when the rockets even attempt to try to rebound.

    She provides a lot of background information about the players that you don't typically get from national broadcasts. She comes to the games well prepared. Some people don't like her voice or her enthusiasm for certain players. That doesn't bother me at all.

    Rockets beating OKC on the boards (23 v. 20), blocks (2 v. 1) and steals (7 v. 4).

    We need more turnovers, too close.

    But who is the taller team again?
