I would rather see Harrell. Nene offers nothing right now. Bad rebounder, no hands, don't protect the rim

The defense was bad but the Thunder are one of the worst offenses in the league. They won't keep scoring like that.

You're right jwise. Thought they called it on Harden. Don't know where that last foul was though

So good news is James and Gordon were terrible (at scoring at least) and they are only down 2
Bad news is James and Gordon were terrible

They better step it up next half. Want James to keep his 20+ point streak going

After being happy to see the full game, I ended up with a phone call for most of the half. How on earth did this Thunder team put 65 on the Rockets?

Unlike last season, I am looking forward to halftime adjustments.

Was Gordon back in the starting lineup?

I know that saying things like this are sacrilege, but I like OKC (whenever they aren't playing the Rockets, obviously). I like Westbrook, I'm a huge fan of Sabonis (they should trade him to us). I'm also enjoying watching Steven Adams slowly evolve into Khal Drogo. I've also had some good times up in OKC.

Sure, they're no Houston...but it's not like they're Dallas or SLC, man!

Rockets announcers talking about the hated Utah Jazz & the 90's.

So many who were not around then just do not get it. :lol:
