    Nah, at least not in this game. There have been some bad calls, but they are being way more aggressive than us. We can't draw fouls when we are turning it over left and right. To be fair, harden has gotten his usual amount of calls.

    The first five minutes was shellshock. There was some really loose interior defense. A lot of missed shots. Nobody on Houston is shooting 3s well. The team is 4-18 on 3s. But they gotta keep shooting them when they’re open. Hopefully they start falling.

    OKC is so good on loading up and double teaming.

    Lin needs to be shipped out this offseason. Not a clutch player. Just horrible

    That last Jeremy Lin turnover when he was just bringing up the ball past halfcourt brought back memories of his matchups with the Heat.

    He's got to get going in the third quarter or this series could be a long one for him.

    smith played 13 minutes, rockets -29 during the stretch.
    Asik missed 8 minutes, rockets -16 during the stretch.

    Asik played 5 minutes without smith - rockets + 16 during the stretch.

    conclusion - we need more small ball! ;D or just switch greg with terrence or d-mo.

    Lin needs to recognize those traps early and move the ball to cut down on those unneccesary turn overs.

    This 7 man rotation is pissing me off. Delfino is not a pf. We have 3 pfs on the bench its not that hard play Jones, Robinson,or d mo. I don't even care which one right now but please no more delfino at the 4

    The stage is too big for him. Hopefully we will snap out of it. He is just a big dummy out there where all the Thunder bigs are flying by him.

    I really hate this stupid philosophy that you have to shorten the rotation in the playoffs. why not just play any one and every one that can help win.

    i think lin, bev, harden and delfino played the entire 2nd qtr (or close to it) how is that helping
