Oladipo better show up tonight. Westbrook can't even go to the bench for a water break without turning around to see the other team go +15 on the scoreboard

Robes is playing himself out of our price range.

Still don't know why he waited game 3. It was pretty obvious that Norris Cole experience could bring more than Christon. But the line up with Mcbuckett, Abrines and Roberson at the 4 was crazy.

Lou williams fits to well in Houston. His trade is what made impossible for us to win a series against them.

We gotta stop defending again. Can't start giving up 30-40 a quarter.

These refs have been **** atrocious.

Adams needs to be stronger pulling down these rebounds. He's so soft with the ball in his hands.

Adams- 2pts, 2 rebounds. $100 million.

They probably should have seen how adams looked without Durant and ibaka in the frontcourt with him before giving him 100 mil. He's a low post center with limited post moves, isn't an elite shot blocker or rim protector by any means, and doesn't pass or defend at above average levels.

It will be interesting to see if Oladipo can put together a solid second half. Dre is just amazing me.

When Ariza shot that three, Adams never even turned around to look to get the rebound.

Refs kept them in it long enough once again. Sigh.

Getting swept may be the only thing to make Presti realize that this supporting cast doesn't support worth a crap.
