What kind of performance will Russell have tonight?

sounds about right

 

Seems the Lakers matchup does not suit for westbrooks. Seems 3 points ball are better. Maybe reduce his minutes especially in 4th quarter. Even he gets a foul ball shooting, he will miss one of it. The ball holds by harden is more safe. He is not cp3, he cannot make come back 3 points for Houston. He is energetic guy, I prefer to see him drive in to do high accuracy layup which is more better. MDA should change the strategy, they also need to concentrate to play the every quarter to avoid lose so much points due to unconcentrate. We can give some time for Ben mac.in 4th quarter if we bench westbrooks

 

We just need to go back to the tape where he dropped 41 on the Lakers

 

Depends. Who are the refs?

How is the game called?

Rocket River

 

He is going to be even more reckless to prove doubters wrong...

 

I hope he can keep it under control with not being too emotional, but he's gotta bring the passion still because we need that. Hopefully it all works out much better than Game 3.

 

28 pts give or take.

 

Better not be like game 2, that’s all I’m saying. He needs to be in control, and taking smart shots. HIS shots. Don’t fall in love with the 3, that’s not your game.

 

He roars and screams 5x at officials and into the air.

 

That is odd

 

Imagine this team with Jeremy Lin

 

40 +
3 or less turnovers.

Rockets win in a blowout.

I Cannot stand Russ but he's going to make me like him tonight.

 

He needs to be sat down briefly if he starts jacking too many threes. Insulting to a MVP, but will be necessary. For those who say bs like set him down a lot, we need his rebounding which is often overlooked.

 

triple double

18/10/10

 

I am not worried about his offense. As inconsistent and inefficient as Russ has been over the past few years in the playoffs, he typically bounces back after terrible games. I have no doubt he will be more determined and take the easy looks/drive lanes the Lakers give him, and have a good if not great offensive game.

I am more concerned about his defense. I would say his defense hurt us more in game 2 than his offense, and it's not only a lack of effort. Russ has developed some really bad habits defensively over his career, and I don't think this is something that can be fixed quickly.

That being said, I am confident that we win tonight by a margin over 10 points. We're simply the better team and it's our turn to strike back.

 

I think he goes off for 33 tonight... Just because

 

We need him to have a "violent gush"

 

hopefully good enough to win, not bad enough to lose like game 2
