Kendrick Perkins out tonight with a sprained knee.

 

Perkins out tonight, legit injury or the Thunder traded him for Gortat?

Kendrick Perkins will not play tonight against the Houston Rockets. The team says he sprained his right knee in yesterday's practice.

 

Want this win so badly. I want to see Harden crush WB and hear the talking heads blab on about how OKC made the wrong move in trading Harden instead of WB. Also watching WB freakout would be entertaining (maybe another "That's what you think, bro.")

 

I'm strangely optimistic about this game.

We're healthy, well rested, playing at home, and our team chemistry is improving every game...

Let's do this Rockets!

 

This game will really determine if McHale is a good coach or not. You know OKC is going to trap Lin and Harden high to get the ball out of their hands, and thereby force the front court to do all the scoring. Take the distributors out of the game and you win easily. Step up McHale.

 

"yall N's trippin"

 

Harden needs to play within his game and not try to force the issue like during the first 2 games.

 

I hope Ibaka wont go nuts on us with those ******* shot jumpers of his.

 

Yesssssss!!!

 

I felt bad for GSW... not sure what is going on with them, they seemed lost, a little like the Rockets during that 7 game losing streak.

Utah on the other hand needs to start losing some games, seriously.

 

Go Boston Rockets!

 

Totally agree.

 

rockets will lose by 4. close game but no one can stop KD.

unless our defense suddenly appeared or westbrick makes them lose.

 

Oh no our only hope of winning this game juat gone to the drain.


all the way down sir.

 

GSW is experiencing karma for doing that to rockets.lol they will miss playoffs and lakers will take their spot. not a laker fan but kobe will start doing kobe Bryant things.

also let's hope Utah trades millsap or Al jeff so they lose fire power.

Hasheem Thabeet will start in place of Perkins tonight.

lol

 

I was just about to post the same thing haha. I hope Asik bends him over the entire game

 

If we focus our offense on Harden we will get destroyed again.

Keys to the game:

1) Screen Westbrook, hard and often. Frustrate Westbrook and good things happen. Well, okay, more like bad things happen...for OKC, same difference.

2) Screen Durant, hard and often. He hates that and scrub teams have beaten OKC doing just that.

3) Screens gallore, goddamnit. Screen through the trap-TOs, the picked-up dribbles, and the Asik fumbles. Screen!
