    tbh, I think westbrook should just outright play heroball 1-3 quarter, and see where that gets his team. Then 4th quarter actually be a team player to close it out, guarantee it will be better cause he hunting for dem assists. It's hard to ask westbrick to play the full game as a team player cause it's not in his nature.

    Hilarious.

    He's lying though. He cares deeply.

    When you have a leader like Harden trusting u to make your shots, it makes player like anderson feel responsible to do sht like this.

    I don't see how that would help things. His teammates just can not get in rhythm with the way he dominates the ball. Westbrook playing hero ball plays right into our hands. That's exactly what we want. Less assists and more shot attempts for Russ makes OKC that much easier to defend.

    Nice, my question exactly. RA needs to be more than a one trick pony. Cut for layups, fight for rebounds, try to draw fouls om the defense. I like RA, but if keeps playing like this he will need to be benched fro Dekker in the next round

    Not getting much notice but Ariza was absolutely tremendous defensively tonight...great game by him. It feels good to having players who contribute in different ways in different nights.
    EG was big tonight hopefully this playoffs is his coming out party...just great contributions all around.

    So glad this team is not led by the mental midget like Tmac otherwise we probably would have been down 0-2 by now

    Westbrook goes nuts in 3 quarters then the Wolverine says ENOUGH...and the Rockets win.

    What Calvin didn't note is that there were multiple OKC rotation players out there shooting with Anderson. It's their only opportunity to touch and shoot the ball.

    Another game where we broke the Lawler's law - First team to 100 usually wins... About 94% of the time.

    Thunder was first to 100 in this game.

    Just home from this great game. Sat next to OKC fans, which were actually decent. One guy said if Rockets win the series, he hope Rockets go all the way and win finals. He also said the only players from Rockets that he hates is Beverly and Capela. Capela??? He couldn't explain why.

    Westbrook going away from his teammates and going into chuck mode plus our 3s finally falling really saved us.
