    No, Game 2 was a moral victory. This is just a painful loss. I don't wanna hear how they came all the way back from 26 down. The Thunder were worn out and all but handed us this game. Yes, Durant hit a BS desperation 3-pointer, but that shot should've been irrelevant at that point in the game. With less than 2 minutes to go, we had 3 inexcusable turnovers(2 of which Harden just threw away).

    Credit Ibaka with a couple of huge bailout shots along with the aforementioned Durant prayer and the Thunder making all their free throws, but the Rockets should've won this one handily based on how close they were to OKC with a ton of time left in the 4th quarter. The problem is every single time they could tie or take the lead, they missed open shots and free throws or threw the ball away.

    ...and one horribly-simple-predictable offensive game plan.

    Or if they wouldn't call those Durant swipes, we would've won.

    I can play this game too.

    Could you imagine if Brooks was the Rockets head coach? He is worse than Mchale! Mchale, believe it or not, has out-coached Brooks all series! I know crazy. Brooks has so much talent he can get away with it.

    Missing FTs or TOs, what I was really upset about Harden was that he held the ball for too long in the last 2-3 minutes. He literally killed our ball movement, which got us back into the game.

    In spite of such a big hole we dig in the first quarter, we actually had a very good chance to take this game. McHale should have called timeout earlier and force them to move the ball. Also, what's up with Beverley not seeing any minutes at the end? It could have been different!

    Twice once by Durant and once by Ibaka...i think..
    Durant had some sick drives...but you cant guard that...he is too long...That first Asik poster was just the indication...Asik is 7'2" and Durant is 6 11...Durant's palm and the ball is still above the outstretched finger tips of Asik...thats how long the Durantula is...spiny little arms

    The free throws killed us. OKC makes 28-30, and the Rockets make 17-25. That's something that is hard to overcome.

    Was thinking the same thing man...Bev should have at least been out there for the possession where Durant sunk his miracle 3...may he would have gone to help on him and annoyed him...

    Harden is obviously just a spy sent by the Thunder to get OKC a first round bye.
