    The best iso player in OKC is CP3.

    SGA and Schroder are much better playing PnR than Iso.

    Man I have a feeling Danuel House is about to be a big positive for us this series. This is his time to make his name even bigger.

    Like Harden said, no more excuses for these minor injuries. If CJ McCollum, with a broken back, can score 29 points and will his team to win a playoff berth, then House and PJ should be fine.

    I hardly ever agree with Skip Bayless but he said something regarding CP3 in the playoffs I agree with. Due to his height and lack of athletic ability at times he just flat out struggles throughout playoff games. Don’t get me wrong he shows up big at times but it is something I noticed.

    Just like Harden he expends a lot of energy on offense AND defense.

    Need to run him into the ground, he will be less effective on iso.

    He is strong, but his lack of length can be exploited.

    I don’t know about you guys but the way Harden is talking it’s giving me the sign that he’s about to go out there and make it be known that he’s the best player on the court in this series and he owns control of it. I can feel this.

    For the past few days I was thinking OKC would expose us because we are inconsistent in many categories but the way Harden is going about this I’m predicting Rockets in 6 at worst. This man is clearly on a mission.

    Dort has been their best defender.

    And without him, OKC rotation is maybe 6 deep in quality talent.

    Dort is important... like Wesley Matthews important back in the day when we played Portland in the playoffs. Good, physical defender with strength.

    Rivers saw this and said "we got this!"

    Oh, Chris Paul knows Harden's weaknesses.

    Harden also knows that CP3 struggles to blow past his man in the playoffs.

    No Russ to take advantage. Harden likes to walk the ball up the court.
