If our three highest paid players besides Russ are on this team next year, I won't bother keeping up with them anymore.

Donovan gave this game away by giving away offensive possessions. What a goddamn idiot.

He made most mistakes in a half than every coach during 82 games.

It's like each game Billy looks in the mirror and goes "how can I find a new way to show I'm the stupidest coach in the NBA?", then acts it out.

Well at least the series will be over soon. Then we can get to what really matters. The offseason.....

I hope the lakers lose their pick this year for gifting Lou williams to Houston. He was just what they needed in a series against us.

At this point I just want Kanter off the team. If nothing else, I want him off the team. I'm to the point where I get as mad to see him on the floor as Kyle Singler.

Donovan had two or three deadballs to get Roberson out of the game during that stretch, and he kept him on the floor.

Unless he was temporarily unconscious during that time, I'm going to assume Billy Donovan is mentally handicapped.

Yep, a third shot creator and floor spacer. We have one shot creator in Russ and he's a below average 3P shooter.

Oh, and now the Rockets have the two best players in the league at baiting the refs into calling cheap fouls on 3-point attempts.

At least this game showed clearly who is the most valuable player and who have a better team...

Don't know what Presti can do this offeason. We are pretty screwed. Maybe he can find some magical trade but I don't know how.

I listened on the radio and didn't watch. Is Adams lack of defense responsible for Nene's historic performance?

No. He mostly scored when Adams was defending someone else on switches or went out to contest a shot.

Last 3 games:

Westbrook On: +28 (119 minutes)
Westbrook Off: -34 (25 minutes)

Harden On: +3 (115 minutes)
Westbrook Off: +3 (+29 minutes)

This is on Presti. Replace Cole/Christon and Kanter with guys who can play on an NBA level and we blow them the **** off the court.

LMAO what. We actually got some value out of Lou. LAL fans have been trying to get Lou to OKC for the better part of the season, but your fanbase was pretty adamant on not dealing Cameron Payne.

You know fan bases don't make trades, right?

Course not. But its definitely a representation of how your emotional attachment to certain players can lead you to make awful decisions. If Cam Payne was offered up in a deal for Lou Will, would you have done it?

Although this is shocking, it's not surprising. If that makes any sense.
