    Hmm that was about as good a first half the Thunder will have, we played like ****, and we're only down 6 points at the half.... I like our chances I guess

    The Rockets simply need to match the energy of game 1 on defense and rebounding to run away with this game. If they come close, they still win the game.

    Rockets should win this, but need to play defense, Harden needs to take more shots, we need to keep attacking and pass off on some of these drives which you know are going to get blocked. Gordon, Ariza, Harden all got easily blocked.

    If not for the first 7min of the game this woukd be so diff. All those missed threes, FTs and turnovers, man.

    In the end, D and rebounds are the big one. Allowing 68pts in the first half is just sad.

    The defense has been a joke. How do u give up 68 points to OKC by halftime? They better step it up in the 2nd half of this will be an L.

    Seeing as how bad we played, this is alright.

    Also, is Ryno going to do anything tonight? I mean really, I can't think of a single good thing he's done out there tonight.

    The Rockets are fortunate to be down only 6. If they pick up their intensity in the 2nd half and do a better job on the boards, they can win this.
