    Why did we go small? I see they got Durant at PF but still, let them adjust to our bigs and not the other way around.

    We got Smith-Ariza and let them rotate.

    If Durant wasn't one of the best shooter in the world we'd still have a 20 point lead dammit

    Those dwight postups got okc back in the game... They absolutely kill our momentum and kill ball movement

    Good first half. 10 point lead would be sufficiently solid effort against a top 4 team.

    I'm not comfortable with a 10 point lead after what happened last night

    Also... OKC looks to have already shook rust off... Good news Rockets are playing better than first meeting (thankfully)

    I think McHale is trying to stop them with defense, but since okc hasn't been good with d lately maybe our lineup should be a bit more offense and outshoot them. Why is Beverly taking this many shots. His fg percentage is pretty good so far but he should always be our fifth option on offense.

    Starters look gassed. back to back after all

    Really I prefer Ariza to shoot the 3 rather than drive. He looks so awkward out there

    The arena is what it is. I'm sure the Rockets have learned by now that they can't rely on the home crowd to energize their play. The team has to be self-motivated anyways if they're going to get anywhere in the playoffs.

    Well when it was 26 not too long ago, you should be. Might as well be an 11 point deficit the way this momentum has shifted.

    I think these are one of those nights where we need 40 minutes from Ariza. Any time Durant is playing, Ariza is too.

    Damn we need another guard that can get his own shot. Howard post ups drive me nuts.
    I hope the suns trade Dragic.

    That comment about the Rockets not being true contenders because D12 wasn't more physical with KG is classic Chuck.

    Josh Smith made a difference in the 1st half
