    I'm also annoyed with Reggie being shocked at us scoring easy in the paint. Does he not know by now our philosophy is 3's and layup/dunks?

    Upside down stats:
    OKC worst 3 pt shooting team in NBA - outshooting us in 1st half
    OKC best rebounding team in NBA - Rockets own more rebounds in 1st half

    Go figure

    shaq only likes teams that feature post scorers.

    chuck doesn't like the rockets, period.

    of course they won't say anything positive about us.

    He was showing how our pick & roll suck, or better, doesn't exist when Harden is out, and then he showed how James is able to change his mind when he attacks and how he's able to chose the best play available. No mention of Westbrook but it was kinda funny since he was basically showing why Harden is so good and how he makes his teammates better.

    We've got something that the Phoenix MDA teams never had: A point guard who could get to the rim and finish with ease. This is fun watching Harden rinse and repeat.

    We are not missing our 3rs just because our shooters have playoff jitters btw.

    Their defense has a lot do with it as well.

    They have done a good job covering our 3 point shooters and that will not change in the series.

    We just need to make them.

    but we get decent looks at the 3, they're just not falling, especially James. James is contested on these shots as he was in every prior game.

    Tnt crew:
    I like the Thunder guys.
    Kanter is the best coming off the bench... a scoring machine.
    Adams, Taj etc

    I thought Russ' teammates were all the worst ymca scrubs that Westbrook has to drag along?

    I would add that Harden has zero points from the FT line. Also unlikely to be sustained.
