    Could lose... but Rockets, especially Harden will get their heads out of their asses. Rockets W.

    Goodness man, frustrating, now 2 extra game on their bodies.

    Hopefully Blazers win the next one too.

    after what just transpired in games 3 and 4 of this series, I’m switching up everything for game 5

    I’m not gonna be in the game thread for this one...matter of fact, no CF at all for me during the game...no phone since it’s been bombarded by Laker fans and Rockets haters...no electronics...no sipping on tea

    just me in a dark room with some alcohol

    I’m going Reeko Dark Thirty for this one

    I hope westbrook doesnt play...he can be rusty and injury prone coming back too early...
    besides theres no substitute for the smart, disciplined and hard play...if we don't play disciplined, smart and hard we can lose even with 100% healthy westbrook....

    i love how okc players play smart and DISCIPLINED looking for the best shot available, they are patient attacking the rim ALWAYS looking for a sucesful drive FIRST and shooting 3s mostly as a last resort...while harden is passing up available layups for kicking out to cold shooters..

    just play smart basketball and rockets will win...
    if you dont play smart and disciplined you can be outplayed by the likes of schroeder washed up cp 3 and ,what was the name of the spurs guy who torched harden in 2017, simmons something....i think hes out of the league now yet he outplayed harden by disciplined and hearty play

    Nah Westbrook needs to play.hes the only guy we have that can match the skill and speed of the okc guards. Westbrook would punish those guards while rocking the baby

    We got this. Just shoot 3s at volume, keep turnovers low and play with energy on defense. That formula is within our control and it works.

    Season on the line, they better play with some sense of urgency!

    Russ will play, there’s no way he’s going to miss this game.

    i still prefer not playing Russ in round 1 if he's not 100% healthy.
    if we lose, we can use that for an excuse..we playing without Russ..
