    To think Westbrook is more than likely going to win MVP for averaging 2 more rebounds per game. I hope the Rockets sweep this series so all the voters who got caught up in the triple double hype can look idiotic in 2 months

    Well, I'm glad that Shaq liked OKC's chances in the second half.

    Seriously though, this was a great win by the Rockets. They did a good job of not forcing it and taking what the game gave them. When Harden was missing his threes, he started taking advantage of the mismatches and driving to the inside. The team didn't try and just force threes when OKC was playing against allowing those threes.

    Of course, Beverley was amazing. He was the soul of the team, and despite being valuable with his play, he was valuable with his tough spirit. He made Westbrook work hard, and his offense was off the charts for him tonight. Really good game for the Rockets. Nene, and Capella were also solid throughout.

    Harden: 37pts, 9 assists, 7 rebounds, 13-28 shooting.
    Westbrook: 22pts, 7 assists, 11 rebounds, 6-23 shooting.

    Rockets wreck by 31.

    Westbrook is MVP. He finished with a double-double. Had no help while he put up his monster double-double. Harden ball hog... took 28 shots.

    I'm going to open up a lube stall outside TC on Wednesday so OKC players and fans can be prepared. It shouldn't hurt as much

    Hopefully the 2 days in between should be enough for the Wolverine to recover.

    On another note, they better let Clint know to call those picks out. This is stuff you learn on the playground as a kid.

    I wonder if ESPN will say that OKC and Russell Westbrook outplayed James Harden tonight and stole a game 1 victory??
