True. All the Rockets did was protect their home court. Now the Thunder has to do the same.

they better start feeling at home about something. Right now thatis where they look like they want to go.

Yeah, not sure what's going on with them. I'm amazed that the Rockets have done this with Westbrook out and Harden more or less contained.

I had the Rockets winning so no surprise here. The Thunder had a nice regular season run but the playoffs is a different beast

I really thought the Thunder were going to be a lot better.

Just not sure they are equipped to beat more intense playoff defense. Chris Paul looked like an out of shape dad in a YMCA league trying to beat his man off the dribble yesterday.

OKC looking like ass.

No sense of urgency

7 points in the first 9 minutes

Rough start for sure. It’s a game now but honestly I’m not watching much. Even the ESPN commentators talking about how much of a joke it is that Harden gets out of control and gets bailed out every time. His bullshit is in the process of ruining the league.

Adams is not playing with any energy at all on offense.

Your usual hyperbole. I too dislike his game but calm down.

Dort really is an amazing defender.

I am impressed.

yeah until a few weeks ago he was on a 2 way contract lol. He needs to improve his shooting but he has a chance to be a crazy defender, no one will push him around.

Even if he doesn’t, he will be a better version of Andre Roberson.

Can't believe Jeff Green got cut by Utah this year. Been really good with Houston

Thunder have a huge advantage insude with Adams and I don’t think he has touched the ball in the 4th
