old man drive right there for jeff green

[HtownHorn 14763]

Damn, I don't remember Gordon ever moving that fast before.

[elfenix 34331]

official on our near side was looking right at that. 

[HtownHorn 14763]

Looks like hyperextension. Should have been a flagrant foul.

[elfenix 34331]

well i thought nba officiating might not be shit without home crowds but that wasn't in the act.  wasn't even going up.  continuation is the worst concept in officiating.

that was some fucking movement there, wow

[elfenix 34331]

big T

[TexArcher 38028]

Need to go on and win this game by 20.  Don't let these boys hang around and get some hope for game 2.

[elfenix 34331]

nice opening statement by the rockets

[ChickenSandwich 9849]

Role players were great. Gordon going to the hole hard, Green looking smooth and Mac hitting when we needed it. Harden seems to be intent on involving his teammates more and more since the start of the bubble. Great team win.

I don’t want this to sound like crazy talk, but It seems James Harden is in a good place.

I'm thinking all the time off did him some good.  He gets beaten to shit over 82 games and I think he has a lot more nagging stuff than he lets on during most playoff runs.  He looks a lot fresher.

I'm not sure i know how we will do. feels like the finals could end up being two teams that in normal circumstances wouldn't make it.

 

Where Big Orange been? 

LAST VISITED
March 16

That's an ominous date to dip out given it was right when shit hit the proverbial fan.

[Planet Houston 4930]

That was the best defense I’ve seen from the Rockets under D’Antoni.

And huge kudos to Green, McLemore and Gordon.  OKC never had a shot.

I’m guessing we won’t see Russ until we lose a game in the series.

[ChickenSandwich 9849]

Agree, and without his explosiveness he’s a possible liability

Main reason I think is bc CP3 can't beat his man 1 on 1 anymore so the switching really affects him.  It was hilarious to see him emptying his bag of tricks to get foul but the Rockets knew too well.  Best chance for OKC is if SGA and Schroeder drive and use CP3 as a shooter.

It is also telling that their best lineup has 3 PGs on the floor.

Day playoff games make working from home the tits.

Russ. Teammate. Coach. Iron Maiden fan.

I like him more now.

i got rockets on my tv, astros on my radio, and pluckers on my plate.  pretty good afternoon.

Damn. I could use some pluckers.

[TexArcher 38028]

Built an 8-point lead and promptly gave up three straight 3s.  Christ, man.

[washparkhorn 9939]

Okies hanging around. 

[HoustonFrog 368]

I’m convinced the teams defensive philosophy is opposite from our offensive philosophy. It’s like we beg teams to take 3s

[elfenix 34331]

so many shitty passes this quarter

[Brothahorn 10087]

Defense has been pretty good.

[washparkhorn 9939]

Great rockets run. 

[TexArcher 38028]

What a run with Beard on the bench!!

[elfenix 34331]

wouldn't mind harden taking over from here and getting 15 in this quarter

[CurlyDumps 4478]

*good time to go from 1-10 to *2-11 baybee

[TexArcher 38028]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander got his name from the Key and Peele sketch.

[CurlyDumps 4478]

TUCK. Nice.

[elfenix 34331]

rockets better without russ than with russ argument on the call in show

[Updawg 2286]

Nice win

[HtownHorn 14763]

Going to be tough to beat in this series if you can't take advantage of no Russ, and Harden missing for 3 quarters.

 

39 points for the Thunder in the 2nd half.

[TonyTexas 10524]

Hardin and Gordon go 2-21 from 3. Rockets win by 13. Smh

No Russ = No Thunder for the SuperSonics.

That was a solid win for the Rockets.  

Finish them. 

[HtownHorn 14763]

Damn, Paul was a -36. Westbrook hasn't played a minute in this series and the Rockets are winning that trade by a lot.

[tx 3 putt 77335]

Close it out

Agree - why rush him back. HOU wins this series and the competition increases with LAL or POR.

OKC has not answered the bell in this series.
