    We have Harden. OKC has no star. It’s amazing what an actual coach and system can do for a team.

    This is like the most epic struggle. Why do I want a huge fight to break out?

    Carbon copy game. It feels and looks exactly the same. And that is not good.

    The problem with refs controlling a series ... is it’s not as enjoyable.

    this is not enjoyable basketball to watch.

    House is the only one hitting 3's outside of Harden, but he makes so many stupid mistakes it's hard to play him long stretches. Why not Luc MDA?

    Westbrook is clearly still rusty. I haven't seen the usual explosion from him in the first half. Whoever said he was as explosive as ever was a liar.

    Why be mad at OKC? We are pathetic for letting a team full of role players give Houston this much of a challenge.

    Russ normally would have a 15 to 17 points by now to but he is still rusty

    Every game is going to be like This. OKc adjusted after the first 2. MDA and Houston are incapable of adjusting or trying anything new.

    most nba playoffs games come down to a few possessions and a few made FG's.

    how can you constantly beat a team when they're getting such favored officiating?

    the rockets basically have to BLOW THEM OUT just to win by 5
