    Rockets win. We actually have a coach rather than BJ Brewerstaff who will blindly call up KJ McDonalds to foul Drummond

    I felt so bad for KJ during that game. It must have felt really embarrassing to do that. You finally get called only for your coach to tell you to foul a guy and then get sent to the bench. Honestly, that's what made me dislike JB. You don't do that to your players even if they're willing to do that.

    Only Westbrook's triple doubles matter, my friend.

    I don't think they're technically eliminated yet. They may be if we win tonight.

    This should be like a pre-run playoff game. Play the first half like a regular game and second half unleash all the bench. No reason for the starters to play more than 22 minutes. Run Gordon most of the second half to get his shooting confidence up and have set for playoffs.

    Talk about a low point in Rockets history. To START a quarter with hacka means as a coach you have answers to nothing. I am surprised JB didn't required flashcards on how to wipe his butt after pinching off a curry.

    The coach shouldn't use his players to implore his strategies? He should put players that actually play in foul trouble so as not to offend players being paid millions to sit on the bench?

    Media will invoke the "He did it against a lottery team" option if Harden has a monster game.

    So fouling someone 5 times in 9 seconds is a strategy? Obviously, Bickerstaff should've stopped after the 2nd or 3rd intentional foul seeing that Drummond was making all those free throws. If I'm a player sitting on bench who was just paid millions and coach sent me in just to foul wouldn't you be offended? Plus I'm pretty sure KJ wasn't even offended, considering that he didn't comment anything negative despite getting 9 seconds of action.

    If Anderson's ankle is still swollen, he should still sit out and just practice his 3 pointers at home.

    Harden should get a 60/20/20 game tonight so that the MVP birds can find some new reasons as to why Westbrick stat padder should win it.

    Rockets 142
    Pistons 99

    LET'S GO ROCKETS!!

    to really make mockery of it, Rockets should just game plan so Harden breaks Wilt's 100 pt game

    David Robinson did that in the finale vs the Clippers in 1994 so he could win the scoring title. Dream still won the MVP though.
