    if we start them, it kills our bench production. That is something that we have an edge on other teams. If we close this series out at home, i'm sure our starters will get better

    Rockets better win Game 5 because I don't like our chances back in OKC for a Game 6, and anything can happen in a Game 7...

    Reporter asked a question to Adams about why he felt the Thunder struggle at end of 3rd quarters when Westbrook sits for rest. Westbrook interrupted and said "We aren't gonna let nobody split us up. We're a team. Don't try to put it as Westbrook vs. Houston or Westbrook vs. his teammates. Next question"

    To his credit, the reporter wouldn't let it go and kept asking it and Russ kept saying next question.

    Nene is grabbing all the headlines and rightly so but let's not forget that Lou WIlliams has had a monster series off the bench

    18 PPG 4 RPG 2 APG .
    47 FG% .44 3P%

    Total homer man... I'll wait to hear your assessment of the Portland series, the LAC series... the GSWx2 series... good grief....I call a spade a spade.

    He has been ok this series but nothing spectacular and garbage today.

    10-37 on the series from 3.... not particularly dominant or impressive the first 3 games.... I guess we were watching different thing.

    Mike will have to find a way to stagger the minutes properly. He can not keep trotting out that starting lineup, it's getting destroyed. The bench is constantly having to fight back from a deficit. We are getting off to terrible starts.

    Yeah, Lou Williams and Eric Gordon have been HUGE the last two games. We didn't win the last game...but they were extremely pivotal both games at crucial times.

    Yep, definitely, we would be 2-2 if not 1-3 without Lou, and you know i had big doubts about him, happy that i was wrong.

    I'm still upset that the rockets didn't call a time out and instead almost turned it over.... got bailed out by the foul call.

    Russ is so disrespectful to the media, but the media loves him.

    Westbrook 2nd-half this series:

    - 32.8 FG%
    - 28.5 3P%
    - 43.9 TS%

    our strategy this series should be, get it close in the 4th and let westbrook shoot his team out the game.
