True.
Even though the Rockets had nothing to gain and the Thunder were playing for their lives, I still expected a better showing.
Houston never really matched the intensity of OKC.

I know being healthy is the number one objective, but the Rockets need to regain their sharpness and focus heading into the post-season. After wrapping up the best record early they seem to have lost some of their edge.

That said, that was one of the more oddly officiated games I've seen this season.
I don't buy into the conspiracy theories but given what was at stake for OKC some of those bad calls were pretty conspicuous.
What was that offensive foul call on CP3? :lol:
