Nene, as well as Roberson, is clearly a post-season player.

Someone in OKC keeps turning the AC up when they shoot or something

Lol what? He went to recover the block. Dipo should be mad at the refs for not calling that jump ball.


that was completely unnecessary though. there were two Thunder players there and Lou was trapped underneath the basket.

Westbrook leaving his man gives Lou Will an easy escape outlet to pass to.

These are the things Westbrook continues to do that reflect a lapse of judgement

Why did Presti extend/re-sign Oladipo before seeing what he'd do over the course of the entire season and in the playoffs? I know it's somewhat aided by hindsight, but that was an awful decision by our front office.

Really, so far this game, Russ and Adams (finally) are the only ones who have shown up.

WB killing the Rockets with mid range jumpers.

When are the Rockets going to move away from this gimmick offense? They have three really good mid range shooters. Let them shoot.

Who'd've thunk that maybe our biggest strength (rebounding) and something the Rockets aren't particularly good at (rebounding) is going to possibly be the biggest reason this is a five game series.

Fine time for Harden to completely lose interest in his chosen career.
