Gallo, better be outplaying Green. He is their 3rd offensive or 4th option if they go with Dennis the menace. Green is the new 7th dude with Gordon in.
It’s unrealistic that the rockets burn through okc especially without wb. And that’s it’s going to be a breeze. Catch up on reading you can still think the rockets get out of this series but understand that the other team is damn good. Apparently a few don’t understand that concept.
The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Doom and Gloom! Doom and Gloom! This is the premier fan site in existence man lets go, slap your GD selves out of this funk - its embarrassing the rest of us ride or die fans. Its the damn Thunder. We have James Edward Harden Jr. Why ya'll trippin???

. Daryl's daughter was on the virtual-tron. How does someone like us get on one of those virtual-fans TV panels.
I am really baffled by the negative posts here. We have all been watching this season unfold, so no need to point out the general eye tests and your feeling stuff. If you don't believe, that's fine, but don't come out so negative even before game one in the series is yet to play. What is the point - that you are right, we are not? Really?
CP3 always had Harden’s back. Harden was the one guy that could’ve backed CP3 and kept Tilman in check. Instead we did the unthinkable and mortgaged our future for Westbrick. We better win this ****ing series. Just more pressure on Harden with CP3 out for blood and Westbrick injured.... we know he hates pressure. Gonna be karma at its finest if we lose.
So I'm just now discovering that the Thunder lost their best perimeter defender to start the series (starting shooting guard Dort) and Schroder just returned from 6 days outside the bubble and needs to get into game shape. Gallinari and Adams are going to struggle on the perimeter. This makes it even more shocking to me we have so many insecure Rockets fans. Unless Roberson or Ferguson have a shockingly good series, it's going to be tough for them to win games even if we don't have Westbrook. Rivers, McLemore and Gordon will cover for Brodie just fine for these couple of games. Green will pick up some of his scoring too. I'm so glad we got this matchup. Harden will start it, Westbrook will finish it.
Come on people, 85% of us still having the rockets advancing. Let people talk about basketball too, I for one can understand someone being mad/angry/concerned when our 2nd star goes down without a fixed timeline to come back. Yao Ming scars and in general, the way Rockets communicate injuries is not something to soothe concerns anyway.
utah willing to just lose out is an assumption just like it was assumed okc was dodging hou. at this point it doesn't really matter as it ended up the way it did and okc willing went out of their way to get the matchup. now here we are
It's not an assumption. It was clear as day for anyone actually watching their games and who they played. The players they put on the court were trying to win but the coaches or whoever determines who could get on the court were clearly not trying to win.
yeah it is an assumption especially when they ended up beating the spurs. its the bias that thinks utah was 100% going to continue losing and losing. just like how people thought houston doesn't look at the standings etc and they ended up dropping 2 doing what they did
They beat the Spurs after OKC won the prior night and clinched their position. Again: "The players they put on the court were trying to win but the coaches or whoever determines who could get on the court were clearly not trying to win." Look at who played vs who sat and how long guys played then holla back.
doesn't matter, Pop has never been the type of coach to have his teams just lay down. you wouldn't be playing if that was happening They didn't do anything different than what every other team has been doing. it isn't specific to only Utah. every single team in the playoff race sat guys randomly and didn't play at times in 1 half
