    0 for their last 15 3's, and only down 6. I'll take it, but damn they need to figure out how to break down this OKC defense. OKC definitely running and pushing on us, but I'm fine with our defense so far. We just need to make our ****ing shots.

    True. No way James, Gordon and House go another 2-18 from the arc. It's bound to get better.

    only the Rockets could be on fire 1 quarter, and then brick everything the very next

    They're packed the paint after our hot start from deep. Can't complain about the looks we had. So many wide open threes that were just bricked. No turnovers is nice. Has that ever happened for us for a whole half before? Hope we're more aggressive in the next half and take it home.

    Not a good 2nd quarter but to be only down 6 shooting 35%, I’ll take it.

    NBA officiating is getting progressively worse. A foul in a regular season is a foul in the playoffs. Rules are the rules are the rules. Gordon got clobbered in the paint no foul? Last possession Harden got fouled twice no foul? Very frustrating

    Gordon, house, harden are combined 2-18 on 3's and we not getting to the free throw line and we only down 6. Consider that a win

    And he only got 8 last game.

    Refs are doing their postseason thing, not sly at all.

    I know this might not be the time for this but anyone knows if Westbrook will be back next game?

    Doubt it's variance.

    https://stats.nba.com/teams/shots-closest-defender-10/

    The Rockets are 5th to last in open 3 pt looks. We are relatively bad at open 3s. It could be because the non ball handling players on this team like Green, Covington etc just stand around on offense and just wait to shoot.

    Calm down people my goodness they are up what 6 points lol.

    Harden had a bad half
    The refs have given them every call
    They are only up 6 and prolly playing the best they can lol

    Now time to turn it up and see if the thunder can keep it up

    **** a foul in one playoff game is not a foul in another.

    Might as well not even call it a rule book but a suggestion book.

    refs just make up the rules on the fly.

    I know this team is live by the three so by the three but this team showed it can win in other ways. With team quickness we can get transition points.

    OKC did make an adjustment helping on the drives so they are limiting our drives from half court. Also us not getting the calls makes their D more aggressive. Speed things up then
