    I was thinking that maybe D'antoni should start Gordon and bring Ryno off the bench to help us get off to a better start offensively. We need another creator in the starting lineup.

    Harden
    Bev
    Gordon
    Ariza
    Capela

    That was the starting lineup for our last game against OKC during the regular season when we almost had 80 points by halftime. What do y'all think?

    Stop going down freaking 10-15 points in the first quarter with stupid ass turnovers.

    We came out strong in game one, they just answered. However, I think that could set the stage for today so I'm all about it.

    It helped that everyone was hitting shots that afternoon. Even Ariza was perfect from the field in the first half except for that halfcourt heave at the buzzer(which he almost made, BTW).

    As excited as I already am about watching today's game I am so anxious and nervous that I just want this series to be over already, so I can have a couple days of peace before our next opponent.

    Today we need to put some fear back into those "Okiedokiegumbyandpokey boys", as their "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" singing Okie fans realize they will soon be strumming their fiddles to a much more different tune. The Thunder will roll as we bring on a Texas Twister to destroy any confidence they have left, as we leave that state once and for all, to close out this series in Clutch City, just as it should be.

    Yes, but I also thought that it helped that we had another creator in the starting lineup.

    let's hope, if the Rockets can have 1 of those games where they hit 15+ threes then we'll be looking to wrap up this series in game 5 back in Houston

    If they struggle again in the first quarter today, maybe D'Antoni should consider it. We can't keep having our starters playing like garbage.

    Agreed, in games 1-2, that Harden-Lou-EG trio was +28 net points in only 22 minutes. They absolutely overwhelmed OKC.
