    they beat us by 8 without sefolosha and perkins. I thought perkins was the dwight stopper but there must be something with that okc team that bothers him so much.

    As bad as the Rockets played all-around, it was a 5 point game with 2 minutes left.
    We'll be fine.

    They relaxed at the end and got back into it.

    They need to do that at the start.

    Durant gets amped for the Rockets like no other team, not even the Heat.

    Actually Dwight pretty much sucks in the post but we tend to focus on the good plays and ignore all the missed shots, turnovers, and missed free throws. He's easily the least efficient post player in basketball and it was absolutely embarrassing watching him struggle to make a basket over Steven freaking Adams. What we need from Dwight is LESS post ups and more pick and rolls.

    With the Thunder you're forgetting they have Durant at SF @ a tall 6'9 (wingspan over 7ft or something) , Ibaka at PF @ 6'10 and Perkins/Adams/Thabeet @ 6'11 or taller. That takes a big number of free points from lobs and then you forget the Thunder staff helped develop Harden as a player so they know his strengths and weaknesses.

    We don't match up well against the Thunder at all so it makes sense for us to have issues against them.

    He wants to abuse the organization as long as he can before he joins in '16.

    Thunder see the Rockets as a real threat and are always well prepared. Their best performances are always against Houston. It will make this team better with time. Once the Rockets learn to compete with them, no one else in the West will be able to match up with Houston.

    They are good but not the best, they lost their last 2 games before they played us tonight in which both of them are against the Lakers and the Suns.

    They can lose to any team but us. They always seem to have our numbers.
