Ryno cannot touch the floor again if the Rockets want a shot

Nene's interior passing reminded me of Warriors Bogut there.
Swinging for the fences.

watching Rockets/Thunder fans actively tear down their respective teams' supporting cast has been one of the funniest parts of this series

Nene has been much better than Stephen Adams in this series.

They're down 1-2.

Um yeah I know. They should have won game 2 and choked is what I'm implying. But thanks for the reminder.

The Rockets supporting cast is usually good (except Trevor, this is the new norm), they are just playing like garbage

How soon we forget games 1 and 2.

They were pretty damn good outside of Samaj in game 2

Oladipo was terrible, Adams was nonexistent on both ends of the floor in the 2nd half, Billy didn't play Taj (honestly the biggest difference from games 1/2 and 3/4), and Kanter was so horrible on defense. Roberson, Taj, and Russ are the only guys that are showing up consistently.

Houston can't complain about the supporting cast. They have built a team under the idea all you do is shoot 3s and defense for many of the players. Unless your an all-time great shooter your going to be inconsistent in that regard. You can't complain that Ryan Anderson not making shots and doing anything because that his role.

OKC has one of the worst benches I've ever seen for a 45 plus win team.

LMAO at that offensive foul. Russ created way more of a push off on his last possession
