    Guarding Durant and he played 40+ minutes last night, no?

    That's funny because OKC fans are saying they should be up by 10 but Brooks has been terrible.

    Parsons has played a good game defensively when he isn't gambling. But on offense, he has been pretty horrible with all the bad passes and missing shots and free throws. But I like his defense on KD for the most part.

    Because you can grab, slap and hack all of our players…but breath on Durant and you'll get called for a foul. Imagine if you sneezed on Durant? That would be a flagrant.

    Get Lin back in he should be well rested. At least give him a chance.

    To be honest, having Lin there won't make much difference. Ibaka and the Gang pretty much packed the paint and depleted one leg of Rocket's offense - penetration. The other leg - 3 points shooting is just inconsistent in its nature. Rockets have to find other way to score. It always works to pack the paint against the rockets. OKC hasn't really shot that well

    I agree with him.

    If you cant smack a Thunder team on your home court that does not even have Westbrook, you should not be talking about being contenders.

    Let's apply the Black Litmus Test.

    Suppose there was only one black player in the league and someone posted a picture of some African guy doing a tribal dance. Would that be racist then?

    I'm not saying you're racist, but there are Uncle Toms of all races.

    What I'm worried about is that he's *just* back from injury. Should the coach really be playing him that much?

    Why aren't we using DMo in the post? That should almost always be an automatic 2 points.

    Parson is bricking shots in the first half and still playing...comitted lots of TO and yet he is playing...jlin on the other hand did no wrong and benched after playing 7 mins...brooks played good in the 1st half but he is a defense liability...well yes lin did do anything but how can you expect from a guy who is froZen for almost 12 mins...ah i forgot this is houston, we should blame Lin..

    Your team is getting clowned at the end of the 3rd - game hangs in balance and you put in 4 bad players and Parsons.
