    overall, we are moving the ball better than game 1. :)

    McHale has made some huge adjustments for this game.

    Loving the slashing offense. The Thunder do not know how to respond to it, they have tried 3 different sets against the cutting plays McHale has designed for this game

    PB needs to start and play with harden at the 2, hes clearly having trouble at the 3. lin could be a spark off the bench.. i really dont think lin is built for the big time..

    Lin is playing fine IMO.

    He's got some points in the paint and is being aggressive and he's helping the team out.

    The worst player that has played IMO has been Delfino. He just seems passive tonight.

    Everyone is playing hard. The guy I’m worried about is Asik. He’s really off, making shaky passes and not blocking out or fighting for rebounds.

    I love the team effort to defend Westbrook’s straight line drives. Also, Smith’s effort on follow up baskets have been excellent. I am really proud of Lin so far. He didn’t back down after the pitiful game 1. But both he and harden have had some sloppy plays. They need to tighten up in the 2nd half.

    Lastly, Beverley is really showing his European playoff experience. He’s basically a disruptor player that OKC never fully scouted.

    Big props to coaching and these adjustments. No more ISO ball! Let’s keep this up Houston!

    What a difference! "Patrick Beverley, how tough are you?" Much better half.

    lol Parsons missed 3 open 3's so did Bev...Harden is 1-3 from 3.

    It's a 2 point game, if Lin hit both it's a 4 pont lead...that's from from a "descent" lead. Relax Lin is doing fine. Rockets on track for 110 points, it's the defense that needs work.

    All you LOF idiots need to understand, if Lin isn't hitting his shots he is a straight up Liability against OKC. He can't handle the ball, can't stick his man and can't rebound.
