    OKC sucking against everyone else doesn't necessarily mean they'll suck against us. Even the most underperforming opposition often have the tendency to go off on us, and when OKC goes off, they go OFF.

    Rooting for Utah so bad now. Rubio's hamstring has been supposedly lingering..and their is very high likelihood he wouldn't play on Sunday afternoon. Utah are struggling to get into their offensive sets without him. Rockets would feast.......

    The scariest thing about the Jazz isn't any one player on their team, it's how damn loud their fans are in that arena. And they actually show up on time unlike in the Toyota Center.

    But, that said, it'll be good practice for our team getting used to when we play the Warriors in Oracle.

    He almost took out Mitchell in the first game. He’s an injury waiting to happen.

    OKC losing in the first round also means more chances of George leaving (and maybe coming here), less chance to see that happening if OKC reaches the second or third round.

    I don’t think many people are actually scared of OKC, the Rockets will handle them...OKC has the potential to be more work

    they’re always pulling wins out their ass

    If OKC loses this series, there is a good chance that PG is going to bolt, or at the very least a better chance.

    Also, whatever chance we have to nab PG, if any, diminishes if he loses against us, unless he is a coward like KD. I would still love him here.

    He dropped his ass lol.. hell of a move by the rook, I'd love nothing more to see Westbrick absolutely blow a fuse & take his team out the game & this series, It'd be poetic.

    Yea you're right, it would pretty much solidify that nobody can play with Westbrook. Melo would probably take the MLE to play here and I could see George wanting to come to get his legacy going.

    I legit laughed out loud when I heard him say that. Who praises someone for having as many points as shots?

    The bar for the Thunder is so low.

    Ricky Rubio has been made into a pivotal figure.

    Ricky Rubio!

    Imagine how bummed we'd be if the Rockets were in game 6 against the t wolves tonight hoping a Derrick Rose injury might get them a game 7.

    Agreed. Okc are not that good. However they might win a game when everything is falling for them. But they wil not beat us 4 times.

    But i really want them to losing in the first round for what it will do for westbrooks reputation.

    That's assuming those are the same people. I've never underestimated OKC or even Westbrook for that matter; and Harden does have this annoying tendency to suck against OKC's defense - mainly because of Roberson - but even when Roberson was out, Harden didn't have a good game against OKC the last time.
