    Nice way to play great D and stop fouling while in the bonus.

    It doesn't seem like OKC crashes offensive boards all like other teams

    Dont get too excited by one quarter.... but this is the first game since the trade. The switching has stalled their offense so far hopefully it holds up.

    See... the thing is that no one WANTS to hate on Ego. Everyone wants him to succeed and shoot well. His 3pt shot has been atrocious though, so anyones' criticism is warranted.

    35% from 3 vs. 16% by OKC

    11 vs. 12 boards, slight edge to OKC

    2 vs. 5, TOV advantage is Rockets

    FT are even

    Tucker in the game this early in the 2nd with 3 fouls is making me nervous

    First observation, Rockets are just better, this should be a easy series when Brodie gets back. I like how Jeff Green is such a mismatch against Noel, taking him to school. Hopefully refs don't keep putting PJ in foul trouble with Adam's flops. Rockets rebounding, getting to the rim, and playing good defense. Just need to reduce fouls and start hitting 3's now.
