    Why not just put the ball in their basket for them? Ugh.

    Terrible start. Everyone freaking out needs to just chill though. Still very early

    Can't come out with the energy we had to start Game 2 and expect to win on the road. Last thing we need is a blowout, confidence building win for OKC.

    We just have to weather this storm. Keep it within 10 and we'll be good we they get cold.

    2nd unit has to show up though. Gordon and Lou have to close the gap.

    This is where Harden had to elevate... be in "Kill Them" mode not dont give a F mode.

    I guess the Rockets assumed OKC would lay down after losing the first 2 games. Or they arrogantly believe they can just turn it in in the second half.

    You guys are so lame. You act like we should play perfectly every single possession. Teams don't do that. GSW and SAS both have stretches where the play poorly. Basketball is a game of runs and momentum. It's only the 1st. Chill.

    I'd like to think that Harden is just observing the defensive gameplan that's why he's so slow right now.

    It's a D'Antoni tactic. Let the other team wear themselves out by trying to play 48 minutes at the pace they think we're going to play but we just keep it within distance to start and then by the 4th quarter they are gassed and we still have fresh legs and we light them up. It's genius and I just made it up.

    Harden can't have games like that if he ever wants to surpass Hakeem as the #1 Rocket of all-time.
