There's still plenty of time for the Rockets to only score 19 points.

The sports historian in me thought that game was hilarious. Also, I'm that guy who always declares how much a team is on pace for, so I just had to laugh at myself.

What's up with these Rondo rumors I am hearing? Does anyone know what we would have to give up?

Lin, Asik and a pick for Rondo and Wallace. There isn't much more we could give up. Maybe throw in Motie, Brewer and Brooks for Bass as well.

I wouldn't mind that deal, as long as they could sign Rondo long term. That would leave them with a starting lineup of
Rondo
Harden
Parsons
Jones
Howard

Rondo and Harden could not coexist. Rondo is a selfishly unselfish player. He kills ball movement because he likes to dribble around until he sees the assist open. He is however perfect for playoff basketball.

We've beaten Portland, SA and GSW 2 times each this year.

Nice win for the Rockets.

And many thanks from Thunder fans. Hoping we can take 2nd place back from the Blazer tomorrow night.

I still have hopes that the Rockets can grab the 3 seed. Portland needs to collapse though.

Wasn't able yo catch the game until the end. Doesn't look like I missed much

We haven't sweeped the Texas triangle since '91. As much as I trash the Rockets and will continue to do so till the end of the year, I do not want them in the playoffs. Dwight always plays like a beast against us. Which helps get other guys good looks and causes them to go off.

Onto OKC tomorrow night.

I definitely think we are better than the Rockets (at least from watching both teams throughout the season), but h2h I don't want them either.

Dwight is the last person I want to see in the playoffs with how we have defended him this year.

The West is all about matchups. OKC matches up well against Hou while Hou seems to matchup well against SA and Portland

Hou plays well against the Spurs, Blazers, and Warriors.

Suck against OKC and Clippers.

I'm not worried about the Clippers. I think we're ready to start beating them. OKC...bad matchup for sure but we should have beaten them last week before that epic collapse. We did well against them in the playoffs. Now when Westbrook is healthy, that's another story.
