I agree. OKC will do a hit job on Lin. You'll know Lin is fearless if he tries to take a charge on Durant or Fisher or any OKC player for that matter.

 

Don't care.
I don't think Royce White is a truely a Rockets.

 

Anytime you add a new player when we already have great chemistry and rhythm is risky. As long as Lin doesn't handle the ball I'm okay. Also he should be on a very short leash if he makes any dumb turnovers or air balls any 3's.

 

HAH. and boom goes the dynamite

 

there's no spread on this game for some reason. i thought we'd be the heavy favorite.

 

I have the same feeling about tonight's game that I did about games 4 and 5. Let's take it back to OKC, boys!

He kills us, especially in the regular season. I was wondering why he played so few minutes last game.

 

durants beginning to sound kinda pissy

good thing for us. hope he tries to go into hero mode

 

yeah this scares me too. Hope he takes minutes from Ibaka and not Perkins.

 

I guess it's good it took Brooks this long to realize how effective Collison is, but bad he realized it at all. We need to keep him off the offensive glass.

 

I think Kevin Martin is bound to have a good game. We saw Harden come back from a crap game. Martin could do the same.

 

Maybe we can get Royce to write a song about our Rockets team every year. I mean the guy is a musician and not a basketball player.

 

Saw David Lee coming off the bench yesterday. Kind of inspirational play for the teammates.

 

He will come off the bench. I guess he won't be able to have 10 TOs before McHale takes him out.

 

Damnit I was hoping Scott Brooks would leave Collison on the bench.

Nick Collison is one of the matchups the Thunder have in their favor. We need to box him out.

 

Our point guards committed TWO turnovers in game 4 and TWO turnovers in game 5. With Lin coming in, let's keep it at TWO total turnover from the PG's!!!!!!!!

 

Greg Smith needs to step up big time.

 

Why in the world would Kevin Durant need to respond to that head case? If he is letting a scrub like Royce White bother him the Thunder are in a lot more trouble than I thought.
