    Lin will guard wrestbrook well and force him to pass at sacrificing
    his own FG% too. Expect to see bad games from Lin and wrestbrook
    Mchale need to work on how to get other spots like CP, Smith, Asik
    in the game to have some slightly chance to win.

    But I am sure that we will go back to stupid 4 smalls and Harden ISOs.

    Even if rockets get destroyed from this experience, everyone will learn on what to improve in the offseason. Especially for Lin, He will definitely learn from getting destroyed by WB lol. He's a competitor.

    Westbrook has the advantage, and it's not even close.

    The next question is: what will happen if Lin/ Harden both turned on Mchale?

    I think both will underperform their regular season levels.

    Of the 3 games we've played against them this year, Lin outplayed Westbrook in our win. He has a chance to do well.

    i think if lin can start off well, maybe westbrook will take it personal and start chucking.

    I wanted to see Westbrook make Nash and Blake his b****es. There is no way the Lakers would have won a game against the Thunder.

    Statiscally Westbrook has shot 50% or less against Houston and had 17 TOs in 3 games .

    Make Westbrook want to beat us. Lin has actually defended him decently. But Id rather WB going hero mode then Durant. Parsons is gonna have his work cutout

    Let Westbrook shoot that fancy jumper all game long and we will win.
