    Thunder will tire in the second half

    Roberson 0% from the FT line and over 50% from the 3 point line, that's Rockets luck for ya.

    DMo is garbage bro. Out of the league middle of next season guaranteed.

    stay the course. things will eventually change if you just do the same thing over and over again.

    also, ariza has a made 3 and made layup in this game. maybe that makes up for roberson hitting everything.

    Harden is either taking a contested 3 when the clock is down or drive to the basket to get blocked.

    It's okay to take a 8 footer shot...

    The team relies on James too ****ing much. James needs to play off the ball when capable ball handlers like Lou and gordon enter the game. James is literally not guarding anyone on defense but he looks so slow & tired on offense. Granted he's getting fouled without calls

    Because Harden keeps trying to finish in the paint over their defenders. He needs to kick it out to open shooters. If they miss, so be it.

    I don't like it as it slows down our offense. However, there should never ever be a layup scored by Roberson. Should have to earn anything remotely close to the basket.

    Let's not let our Pride get in the way, Hack-a-Roberson should be on the table.

    At least the Thunder didn't score 30+ in the first qtr.

    harden has had 37-9-7, 35-8-4, and 44-6-6 in these 3 games of the series (even with bad starts) and somehow he gets all the hate instead of our role players who simply aren't hitting their open 3's (ariza, anderson)

    while kawhi had like 15 pts going into the fourth quarter vs the grizz last night on sub40% shooting and half of you clowns still eat his **** up even when he takes an L

    I know and I don't either but when you're lucky enough to go against a guy as bad as him I think in situations we absolutely should.

    Harden's body language is saying he doesnt want to play. We've seen this before in previous games, like game 6 vs the LAC.

    The Rockets are really getting bad to watch and Harden acts like he doesn't know what to do out there.

    On a side note, what happened to D'Antoni's genius offense?? The Thunder seem to have all of our offense figured out. Their D is damn near perfect on us. WTF?!

    At what point will Lou, Gordon, and Ariza realize that they're denying the ball from harden. Instead of wasting 6-7 seconds trying to get the ball to Harden, just create something yourself. ****! This is like when the rockets struggle getting the ball to yao. Wasted possessions.

    Racist owner's son gets immunity when it comes to getting kicked out of the arena. Can probably spit on the players and get away with it.

    What's the NBA record for team blocked shots in a game?
