Series Thread: 1st Round: OKC Thunder vs Houston Rockets

[dtgold88]

Who doesn't?!? I like MEN! I love cocks so much.

not that there's anything wrong with that.

Someone had to say it.

As soon as the Pacers and Nuggets are put out of their first round misery, I hope to become a Rockets fan for the rest of this so-called season. I would like to see nothing more than for this board to eat endless crow on Westbrook if Houston wins the title after he gets back.

It ultimately won't happen, though.

So who you gonna root for when the Rockets get knocked out? You keep jumping from bandwagon to bandwagon and it'll only be a matter of time before you hurt yourself.

LOL. Pacers fan....he's like WiggyRuss. Keeps changing his team.

The Rockets simply can't lose when their "bigs" are knocking down 3's. And for the most part, those three-point looks are wide open.

OKC fighting back nicely.

Going to be a good finish unless Houston goes on another hot streak.

 

[tlance]

And we have a ballgame!

Thunder absorbing the blows, the last run is the one that matters in games like this. Dort played almost that whole quarter with 4 fouls, pretty amazing.

Nice job by OKC to start knocking down more 3's. Is OKC considered a small ball team, too. They do have Adams, but it seems like they run three guards out there pretty often.

Pretty sure he has 5 now. Got a cheap one on Harden in the middle of Houston’s run.

Harden with 4 now

Have to say, people who are still criticizing Harden’s defense are doing so based on reputation and not recent results.

He has greatly improved his consistency of effort. He isn’t a stopper, but I actually think he is a pretty solid defender. Especially in the playoffs.

OKC got Harden in chuck mode.

This is their chance

Yup. And he's very strong, so even though he's a guard, a frontcourt player can't just easily back him down and abuse him like they can do against other guards.
