    Thanks mate, OKC already closing the gap big time. If they win, this is on you.

    Now just an 11 point margin...

    If the win, all the headlines will read how clutch and great westbrook is...

    I don't mind them playing 10 minutes, but Harden, Beverley, and Ariza certainly don't need to be playing over 30 minutes like tonight. We don't need to take any chances of them getting injured when it is unnecessary.

    The main reason why they're not championship ready is because they just don't have the talent needed to win a ring. Harden and role players is not gonna get it done.

    My only hope is that with a healthy Anderson playing more minutes we will look much better. He is really our only consistent 3 pt shooter, which will make the difference we have needed lately.

    Yup we need better shooters or have our best shooters shoot more 3s and not Ariza or Harden taking so much considering MDA's philosophy is win or die by the 3.

    We need MDA to smart up, not like a fool.

    Well actually Ariza has averaged .372 over the last 5 games, and Harden .272. Ariza had an off night, but he has been shooting consistently better than both Harden and Gordon. Anderson rarely has nights as bad as any of them, and we really need him taking a lot of the 3's come playoffs.

    Better to lose focus tonight than to do so in round 1.

    Would've been nice if we won but unfortunately that just didn't happen.

    Rockets were cruising. Hard to focus when youre locked into a seed

    You dont want to risk injury trng too hard.

    We be fine

    In other news Cavs lost to the Hawks who were without 3 of their best players and the Cavs had way more to play for.

    **** happens.
