    Rockets shot 7-44 from 3 in the infamous 27-straight missed 3's in a certain Game 7 (in which Harden was robbed multiple times and i think EGo was too). Maybe they should have shot more (no sarcasm)

    Contrary to common sense, right?

    I agree, the math is incontrovertible.

    This is going to be the hardest game because if the Thunder go down 3-0 there is no coming back. They are going to play dirty . You know Paul will resort to cheap shots

    Hold Russ off until the next loss. The Lakers series is fixing up to be a long one. If that happens, and we wrap ours earlier than expected, Russ might be nearly 100% when he comes back.

    Bring back Russ for the broom game! That would be that dagger in the heart! Team might relocate after this.

    maybe , I think CP3 might realize his team is hopelessly outgunned tho and just give up. I know he’s supposed to be ultra competitive, but he’s gotta be discouraged at this point .

    Hmmm...something I didn't realize until I looked...we've played this SEA/OKC franchise more than any other team in the NBA (counting regular season and playoffs). We've played the Jazz (49 games) more in the playoffs, but, the Sea/OKC franchise is 2nd at 44 games...we're 2-6 all time against them in playoff series, but 1-1 since they moved to OKC. We've played the Lakers the 3rd most playoff games (35 games), followed by San Antonio (22), Boston (21) and then Portland (20)

    https://www.landofbasketball.com/head_to_head/rockets_rivals.htm

    OKC/SEA = 267 games
    Lakers = 258 games
    Jazz = 253 games
    Warriors = 243 games
    Kings = 233 games
    Suns = 230 games
    Spurs = 222 games
    Blazers = 220 games
    Clippers = 215 games

    If Westbrook doesn't play in this series then their is no film in the playoffs on us with Westbrook for the Lakers or Blazers to look at.
