    im hyped but there’s not no animosity
    FromRuss towards his franchise to want to knock them out anymore then he’s want to knockout any other team. Harden prolly had more incentive to want to knocked out the thunder in his first postseason series against them 7 years ago from the way he left.

    MDA speak for "Westbrook is playing at least 32. 38+ if the game is competitive."

    If they stick to that we're good. It's exactly what we need, 28 minutes of Russ attacking the basket relentlessly. He has to be rusty, and I think we can win the series with him on a minutes restriction (until it gets risky).

    MDA also said that Russ was working on his shooting a LOT while rehabbing. If that's something he was doing for months before, don't be surprised if we get a decent shooting performance from him. Something like 36% from the corner would make Harden's life so much easier.

    Basically play him in the 3rd and 4th.

    Doesn't make sense if 20 in 1st half and 8 minutes in the second.

    The team needs help during the 4th.

    They'll always want to bury Presti for breaking up a dynasty.

    It’s either a blowout for rockets or a painful nail biter.
