I think we have a shot, but WB needs to calm down and play smart again (not like two last games), and we need to take advantage of their lack of inside presence.
I really really want this win :)

Not looking forward to this.

Just remember, no matter what they're pretty much the 7 seed. Just keep Russ healthy.

3PA for Russ tonight - 15 o/u?

If we are going to win it, I think we need a good game from Adams and Kanter.

Expecting a loss.

At this point I'll call this game a win if Russ calms down & doesn't shoot 10+ 3s or get another tech.

Is it too late to take the over, because he's flinging them up so far.

Feels like we played as good as we can offensively and only up by 5. Better tighten up the defense.

The only thing worse that Westbrook jacking up threes is Grant driving with the ball.

Roberson is complete garbage. Him and Kanter are the two most one sided players in the NBA.

I checked the score for the first time and we were up 36-25 late in the 1st quarter. I check the score again about 20-25 minutes later and we're losing 55-47 about midway through the second quarter. What quick 19-point turnaround/meltdown.

The rout is on.

Russ hit some early threes which means he needs to shoot and miss 12 more to keep his average up.

Why does Grant get more minutes than Sabonis? Nice to see Roberson fouling three point shooters again.

20-point swing in the Rockets favor from about the 1-2 minute mark in the 1st quarter to the 1-2 minute mark in the 2nd quarter.1

Ouch.

Game over. Russ is getting no help. Roberson isn't containing Harden. Oladipo isn't helping with scoring. Houston is having bad shots bounce in.
