    Why is everyone driving or looking to pass versus shooting 3s around Harden. Even looks like Capela is shooting a free throw. not good

    The only thing that matters is they are wearing the BLACK jerseys!

    See mostly Rockets in 6 picks from the "experts" online, although a couple have OKC (right...).

    538 is interesting, Rockets % to win championship lower than Utah..

    Pack that lane tight and force them to shoot from outside

    "The Thunder can field a lineup well-suited to hobbling James Harden and the Rockets offense. When you know Russ will be generating all the points, you can toss out four other players whose entire job is playing defense."

    Yeah, that's not gonna work. The Thunder have already tried that this season and the Rockets have handled them with ease. Unless Westbrook is gonna average 75 points a game this series, you can let him get his, keep his teammates relatively in check, and score enough points of your own to win.

    I think "Shoot the THREEs" and everyone shooting would be more appropriate

    Give Russ the stats, headlines and the MVP. We'll take the Ws. Like we have all season.

    For what it's worth, I was listening to Cleveland sports radio (live in Cleveland) and they picked the Rockets to win - one said in 5 and the other said in 7.

    Don't think anyone outside OKC or WOF think OKC has a shot.

    It was Aldridge and lillard killing us. Don't forget if Lin hadn't screwed up we would have won one more game

    Just have Beverley trash whisper in WB ears all series.

    This will have far greater impact on Thunder than any defense that Mike can draw up.

    Nah, we was getting killed by LMA due to size. Westbrook really all we need to worry about.
