This is how you can defeat OKC

This is how you can defeat OKC:

1. Sit Jeremy Lin
2. Limit James Harden's shots
3. Go to Chandler Parsons

Agree?

Awful players this series:
Harden, Lin, Smith

Everyone else slowly showed up.

Asik & Bev, been good from the start.

Game #1 was awful
Game #2 Rockets had the lead in the 4th, and ended up losing.
Game #3 Rockets had the lead in the 4th, and ended up losing.
Game #4 Rockets had the lead in the 4th, and won.

Difference? Somebody else not named Harden/Lin carried the team. I'd say limit Harden, sit Lin.

1. Hit more than 1/3 of your 3-pointers.
2. Limit Harden iso as much as possible.
3. Switch everything on defense: OKC has nobody who can exploit mismatches in the post.

Start Beverley. Give Asik 40 mins. Keep doubling up Durant. More PT for Brooks when struggling offensively.
Harden... I think he is injured, can barely walk. Maybe sit him too or don't overuse him.

Francisco Garcia on Durant was probably our smartest move. You can tell he bugs the **** out of him

Double team Durant the entire game that way he doesn't get shots. When he didn't get shots in the 3rd quarter the Rockets outplayed the Thunder badly.

All I know is you guys should be up 3-1 easily. ....very easily. Turnovers are the only thing that denied you the wins. If the Rockets can win Game 5 I think they can steal the series.

Ahh don't worry, Your team is about to become the first team in NBA history to come back after being down 3-0 in a best of 7 game series.
