    OKC has won games at Oracle and Toyota Center this season. They can win in Salt Lake.

    OKC won meaningless games in Houston and Oracle. This is the playoffs.

    No need at all for him to come back this series. I'm sure Anderson returning will be enough. Whomever comes out the Jazz/OKC match up is questionable. I believe we need Luc more for OKC than the Jazz.

    The game they won at Oracle was not meaningless at all. That was early in the season and the Warriors were up for that one.

    I would also argue that the win at Toyota Center was meaningless in terms of the standings for the Rockets, but we were still trying to win that game. The starters all played and the only reserves missing were EG and Ryno. Important players no doubt(especially Gordon), but not enough to render that win by OKC as meaningless or illegitimate.

    A Rockets fan hopefully like you. Why the hostility?

    Everyone has an opinion. I waited to formulate an opinion until the facts were available rather than speculate. I just happen to have a long and rather bad history with shoulder and back injuries.

    We need these opponent series to last. Luc was the reason we beat the Jazz in Utah earlier this season, and he may have the best physical build of any defender (besides LeBron or Kawhi) to cover Durant. His presence will be more missed the deeper we get.

    The Rockets for the most part had shut it down as soon as the first place was wrapped up. They were not going all out incase of injuries.

    bullsh!t - we played our entire squad and played our starters til the very end of that game. i guarantee if you ask harden or cp3 if they were trying to win that game the answer would be a resounding "hell yes"

    Thats you're opinion and you are entitled to it. If that was meaningful game like a playoffs seeding on the line the Rockets would have played with alot more urgency.They were playing in spurts all - through-out the game. The game for the Thunder was win or the chances of missing the playoffs increases by the second. For us was dont get injured.


    If the Blunder do get by the Jazz(with Russ play making) highly unlikely then we will see who the better team over a series really is.

    You want him especially on Mitchell when he gets hot because Luc has the size combined with the quickness to defend him.

    You may not be familiar with Louka and his negative vibes, but my advice to you is TREAD LIGHTLY.

    It's Air Cupping for his sore shoulder, research it before you type rude things about James, uncalled for.
