    Only complain when the best players at 2 positions cannot outplay the 3rd best player of one position (Aldridge) and the 5th best (Lillard) at one position.

    Gosh now we know that Harden's bad habits were nurtured at OKC, and then he was force fed ISO ball with Mchale. So when he was asked to do something else...he was lost, like he was withdrawing from a narcotic...Must have more ISO

    When we see how the Spurs dismantle Aldridge...we will understand how much coaching plays such an important role...They will let Lillard go off, but guarantee no one else will be effective. Spurs in 5 or 6

    Clippers and Thunder don't have all these overrated international players like the rockets do... Spurs got a great coach that make his international players heck all his players submit to the team system of play. In the playoffs you need straight ballas not these Overrated one dimensional players.

    Ummm having 10 years of developed chemistry from your big 3 also helps. Give Mchale a break.

    Even if we get past the Blazers, don't think we stood much of a chance against both of these teams if we get to Conf Finals.

    So I glanced at the box score when this game was in the first quarter and it was 16-13, OKC.

    It's now 83-63 LAC, halfway through the 3rd? What happened? lol

    LAC seems to score after each of their timeout.

    Doc Rivers is more crafty than I thought.

    Yeah its as simple as that. Today the clips are shining with Crawford, redick, Barnes etc. All who are known to deliver consistently no matter what game. OKC has players like that although today is not their day. Houston had AARON BROOKS who Morey traded away because he wanted a 5th SF behind parsons, cassoi, Garcia etc.

    Morey just doesn't understand what it takes at the playoff level. The international players Houston has like Ling, Garcia, Casspi, Donatas are ok for reg season but thoroughly exposed and liabilities come playoff time.
