    Russ is not getting to the hole. He's just doing what Harden does...drive and diss to the open 3 man. That's great...if our f*cking guys on the perimeter can hit their damn three pointers. We need Russ to be scoring.

    Low scoring quarter. OKC probably happy to not be down 20+.

    Holding them to 14 points in the 1st quarter is impressive.

    Doris Burke would've lost all her marbles if Harden pulled that on Dort

    the way we played I am bummed we didn't score 30+... granted, D was on point, we missed some easy shots, and I'll take being up 10 after 1, but we have to start hitting the open jumper.

    I cant say I'm happy we aren't up by 20 or 30. OKC gave that quarter away and they're only down 10.

    Just don't want Russ to overexert himself and then tweaks his quad.

    that cp3 flop deserves a fine

    cp3's most underrated ability is his poker face . how he can keep from cracking up while getting calls and flopping like a fish is admirable

    Westbrook is rusty. Not sure if this is coach holding him back though

    I don't understand why MDA doesn't use him in every offensive possession. Just PnR with him all game for goodness sake.. Just keep running it. It's the only play OKC can't guard.

    Except it wouldn’t have been a foul, unless it was on Harden.

    How is harden credited with 2 turnovers, he had the first one where he dribbled off his leg. But are the scorekeepers really counting that intercepted pass by gallo at the start of the game when not only did the rockets ended up with possession but gallo never had control before heading out of bounds. That’s bs

    He was suppose to be my x-factor. I’m so disappointed in him.

    I don't know what Covington's problem is. He was Low Key suppose to be an Above average 3 point shooter who shot at a high volume. Now he can't hit anything and is afraid to shoot.

    if Dort wants to take all the open shots, i'm fine with it. His only score was a missed travel call
