    Mike better not go with the same starting lineup in game 5

    Harden
    Bev
    Ego
    Trev
    Capela (with a quick hook for Nene if he's playing soft and being ineffective)

    that should be the lineup

    game got ugly the last 2 mins but glad we came out on top.
    a lot of things were going their way....rebound off the free throw...then the immediate 3..

    but hack-a-roberson worked brilliantly. except for that foul on westbrook 3.

    Nene is the greatest center in Rockets history

    We could win this series 4-1 and fans will say it's not good enough.

    Heck to a lot of posters we lost this game with 8:30 left in the first quarter.

    I'm glad James realized he played terrible this game. Ahhhh 3-1 feels good.

    I will now construct a statue out of clay and HGH in the likeness of the Brazilian god Maybyner.

    Starts with coaching. Great offensive mind, terrible situational mind.

    Unsung hero of the game Eric Gordon... scrappiness and hustle on defense was beautiful

    Show up late, leave early. You know its a bunch of corporate-y types in the stands, and its obvious because they all have their playoff shirts on stuffed over their work clothes. They probably didn't know they were going to the games until 4:30pm.

    My stream went out and didn't see a lot of the stroke inducing bonehead plays. I'm glad. I'd be dead.

    I have never in my life seen a player call up a guard from the backcourt and tell him he is going to miss a FT, get the board, then give him the ball to drain a 35 foot three, all without any direction from the coach? WTFFF, that was executed perfectly. So lucky to have escaped that game.

    give nene and lou a big long contract get rid of Anderson, harden needs to seriously gets a talk from the coaches, you can't be that disinterested in playing defense and call yourself a basketball player

    This was an ugly win, but sometimes you have to win ugly in the playoffs. They're up 3-1 in the series, and despite having to come back in so many of these games, they deserve to be up 3-1. They had better close this thing out in Houston, though. The last thing they need to do is give momentum back to OKC.
