    Westbrook with the worst +/- of any player in the game.

    This team quit...it started with their leader too. I'm not going to alibi for Jimmy when he dogs it, and he has definitely dogged it. Sorry.

    Rondo must have done some serious meditation, some reprogramming from his scrub mindset or something during his time off. He is focused and in his Playoff Rondo mode.

    Time to go to bed. Sorry folks. I thought we would come out stronger and have a bigger lead throughout this game. We were only up 2 to 6 points most of the game so with out 6 to 7 man rotation I knew by the 4th quarter we would get exposed. Similar story to game 2. I knew we came back from 20 plus but 4th quarter we choke again... run out of juice every time.

    Rockets don’t want it. Offense has been bad this second half and defense even worse

    The easiest strategy to beat the Rockets......double team Harden. They have no Plan B on offense. Lebron is an absolute nightmare for Rockets small ball strategy.
