    I'm WORRIED AZ!....we always seem to do bad against the really bad teams. Our record is that great as it stands so we have to win this and start another streak :)

    I don't know if it will be a blowout, but this should be a comfortable win. A loss is inexcusable to a team like the Thunder.

    A close win or a loss is possible. There is no consistency on the team.

    Let's see Yao dominate Collison and the rest of OKC frontline. Also, time for T-Mac to show Durant how it's done!

    Games like this always make me nervous, somehow Rockets will make it a close game. Why can't we blow out bad teams like all good teams do? Talkin about the ball movement, I have not seen much of that yet. I saw Scola cuts to the backdoor regularly, other than that, I do not see much of spacing and movement.

    All the Rox need to do is play fundamental defense as they have in every victory this season, and keep running the offense. Ball movement and player movement, against a bad team, like OKC, it will get the Rox open shots and layups.
    Yao should get easy looks, deep in the post, and open 12-15 ft jumpers all night long, its up to him to take advantage of it by going decisively to the hole and by knocking down the open jumpers.
