When you have one on one with Nene, Russ shouldn't shoot a long three. Gotta know better, Russ.

First perimeter player in NBA history that you can "Hack-a-______" and he's on our team.

I hate the Rockets. Their two best guards are cheapskating, manipulate the system to all of my advantages, pieces of crap.

And if course there's the rip move. Seems like they only call that not a shooting foul when a Thunder player does that.

Shouldn't have taken teams all year to figure out you need to foul Andre.

Harden took his left arm, threw it behind him and under Gibson's arm, and baited a foul from the refs. It's a travesty.

Of course Dipo doesn't get the 3pt shooting foul.

Well, at least we'll be put out of our misery in a couple of days and this series will mercifully be over.

The good news is maybe Presti will be forced to admit how poorly this roster is constructed. Steven Adams finally contributes offensively but Nene looks like an all time great.

We've outplayed them ever since the 1st game. They're winning because of Presti and because of so many terrible calls. In 3 close games, they've been gifted 30-40 points on terrible calls.

This team is a bleeping joke. Russ is not only playing with bad NBA players, he's playing with absolute morons.

Blatant foul by Harden.
