    We need to get back to doing what won us the first two games. Team speed and transition on both D and O. Our D wasn't horrible but we missed a few costly closeouts and lost focus a few times allowing them to drive easily. More importantly though is we need to get back to pushing the ball and it really looked like we went away from the fast transition game in the second half. I don't know if that's tired from playing so uptempo the first two games but it looked like the Rockets lost a step.

    The Thunder are a good team and coming into this series I was expecting a dog fight. We made the right adjustments the first two games, especially in game one. We can do that again and win the series. For me it comes down to team speed. Get faster on D so they don't get open shots and there is always someone there to greet CP3 or Shroeder when they drive and..

    RUN FORREST RUN!

    Is Doris calling the game? I'm not sure I want to watch if there is no Doris.

    I agree....Rockets know they let one get away; won't let this one. Rockets pull away in the 4th after a back-and-forth affair.

    How sweet a win today would be. Go up 3-1. If Westbrook is good For game 5 I would minute restrict him and hopefully give him another week of rest before game 1 next week.

    The entire team except for Harden and Green played like complete garbage last game, and we still almost won. I expect them to bounce back today and win this one easily. Rockets go up 3-1.

    Also, please no Doris. I could care less about her lack of love for Houston, I just can't stand her speech impediment. She also sounds like a dude! How is she a broadcaster WTF? There's no way people actually like the sound of her voice do they?!?!

    Thank heavens no, next two games on TNT, tonight we get the Warriors game-by-game guy paired with Jim Jackson. Not my forte, but it's all good.

    Harden will score 50+ on route to a blowout win.

    Harden will have mamba mentality today. It’s going to get ugly for Okc.
