  • Funny how late stage capitalism has morons itt defending an authoritarian communist regime because "muh profits"

  • He presumably doesn't have a problem with money at all. It sounds like you don't know what the fuck this entire situation is about, considering you think it's "hypocritical" for morey to operate under

Calm down T-Mac 

I hate this fucking bipolar team 

Russ shaving points? That was as bad a last 2 minutes as I’ve ever seen. 

Westbrook has been awful. Bad coaching by Dantoni. Shit game.

Dantoni lost the game letting Westbrook handle the ball. dumbfuck

This. There is a reason he's never reached the Finals.

Harden needs to DEMAND the ball more

They use to say the same thing about Durant in OKC. The one thing about Westbrook, no matter if hes on fire or playing like shit, he believes he is the best player on the court. He has played his entire career alongside two of the greatest scorers in the history of the NBA. At the age of 31, I'm starting to think he doesn't particularly care to defer to anyone. Coaches be damned. 

Dantoni hasn't won shit because he will not exert control over his players.  He needed to sit Westbrook down.

That was beyond horrible basketball by Russ. If he’s hurt, get him the fuck out. If he’s hurting the team like he was the fourth quarter, get him the fuck out and sure as fuck don’t draw up a play for him to bring the ball upcourt after the CP3 FTs. 

That was fucking terrible on Russ and MDA’s parts. 

Rockets will be fine...

Green, Rivers and Gordon all had poor games tonight -- so don't expect that to be repeated on Wednesday

Another stellar performance by Eric Gordon brings him to 8-43 from behind the arc this series.

Why not? None of them has ever been a reliable playoff contributor.I fully expect that to be repeated.

CP3 has been the most clutch player in the NBA this season from a scoring perspective. If it’s close, I have no confidence in the Rockets making more plays down the stretch. 

 

Gordon and Westbrook need to stick to getting to the rim and finishing or dishing.

EG's shot is fucked.  Hell, he was blowing layups last night too.  Watching him complain for foul calls EVERY FUCKING TIME he goes to the basket is tiresome.

Russ can out-athlete just about everyone on the court if he's 100%.  Just need to take better care of the ball.

I still have hope, but fuck man, they are frustrating to watch at times.

 

I think Rockets win game 7. I want them against the Lakers, not OKC. 

But . . . that sequence at the end of game 6 for Westbrook and the Rockets was ugly. 

Russ mean mugging after making a shot rather than hustling back led to his man blowing by him for an easy 2. Unforced error. 

And then his drive towards the basket with Harden setting a pick to clog the lane (wtf) leaving westbrook to make a horrible pass to Covington (wtf?) - that was just awful. CP read the play and cutoff Russ' drive on his way to guard Covington. CP wanted it more on that play.

Maybe this was the wakeup call the team needed. They have more talent than OKC (this was the OKC rebuilding year). Let's go Rockets.

Swapping Paul for Westbrook was fucking stupid

As soon as it got close with about 5 min left, I knew we would lose. OKC in crunch time is the best team in the league.  We have to blow them out in game 7 or we’ll lose 

Yea another example of the Rockets this season not taking care of business or having the killer instinct. Even if we do get by okc it will be the same against the lakers. 

The easy non complicated explanation is if the rockets are hitting their 3's  we can win against anyone and if like last night we aren't we will lose. It's why i hate this system and why we won't win a title running it. You have to be able to grind out wins in the playoffs even when your system is failing you. 

Another thing I don't get is these give-up switches on defense in crunch time. Paul has been torching Covington.  Fairy wisp Schroder sets a pick 30 feet from the basket while Paul slowly walks the ball up, and Gordon makes no attempt to fight through it.  Gordon can't fight through 6ft 150 pound Schroder? 

Why are they conceding switches so easily and giving Paul exactly what he wants? 

As an OKC fan, I think Houston wins game 7. Too much talent. 

But I think the most surreal aspect of this series has been coming over and reading the criticisms of Westbrook and Harden. It was so frustrating watching Russ year after year. Have to say I enjoyed the end of that Game 6. 

You know Westbrook is going to want to do too much and will do stupid shit Game 7.

Ever since they slowed down the Warriors with their switch everything defense it has been their calling card. They doubled down on the strategy when they got rid of Capela. I think they are all in, no matter if it makes sense or not. Expecting D'Antoni to make any sort of defensive adjustment at this point, as minor as this one would be, is probably asking too much.

Sweet i have a ready made excuse when they choke. They could go 0-40 to startthe game off from downtown and won't keep chucking so better hope they are on fire like game 5.

That's a good thing right? For both teams. No Tony Brothers side action going on.

Depends on if he hates the Rockets or Chris Paul more. We'll find out.

If it’s a close game, advantage okc 

If the Rockets lose Tillman will have the justification he needs to make this team his and make the Rockets as irrelevant as UH.

not in the restricted area got to the spot first, that's a block

-NBA officiating school, probably

If the Rockets lose Tillman will have the justification he needs to make this team his and make the Rockets as irrelevant as UH.

Been a rough year for him. I wouldn’t be surprised

Game's got me nervous.

Rotations are off... Harden out of rhythm needs to come out for a short break.

Yeah, Harden needs a breather and then a layup or two.

lol @ these non calls, when every fingertip graze against OKC is a shooting foul.
