Hey how'd you feel about Durant choking tonight?


How does Harden's arse taste?


What do you think about your more talented team having to pull all the stops at home and still losing decidedly?

Was just a weird game. Thunder never played with emotion, which is very rare. Rockets coming out nailing 3s early and Harden getting off to a quick start was probably the only way they were going to get a W in OKC. And they were able to do both.

Funny that you still never answered a single question I posed to you.

Nonetheless:

KD was obviously out of sync in the 2nd half tonight. No idea where his aggression went. The defense the Rockets played on him never changed.

Harden had his first efficient scoring night in 5 games. I wouldn't gloat until you witness Harden doing this, routinely in a 7 game series, late in the playoffs. So far, the only stretch he did so consistently was games 3-6 against the Spurs last year.

Played a shitty game with little energy and shot the ball poorly.

Well that's the obvious answer, but they still played with a lot of emotion in Houston games 3-4.

well there was a reason to play with a chip on the shoulder, but it was false emotion and will subside

plus i bet durant is tired b/c they've played him way too much.

They have to play him. K-Mart has been straight atrocious down the stretch. Their 2nd and 3rd scoring options are Ibaka and Jackson

Thabo is choking too. Guy shoots 40%+ from 3p range during the year and now can't knock it down all of a sudden. Martin is really pissing me off though. I've watched him all the way back since he was with the Kings, and I have no fricking idea what's going on with him.

So you are saying that the Rockets are going to do something that no NBA team has ever done, which is come back from a 3-0 deficit to win the series?

Looks like a bunch of excuses and diversions. I'm glad you didn't come completely unhinged, though.

Hey, at least I answered a question(s) posed to me instead of docking and dodging.

And you'd be very disappointed if you knew how calm and unbothered I was be this outcome. Anyone who's watched the Thunder play with any regularity that understands the game knew that the chances of a sustained playoff run ended when Westbrook went down. Too important of a piece to lose. Injuries happen; it is what it is.

Wonder how many times that's happened on the same night in NBA history, if ever?

Definitely makes things more exciting for casual NBA followers I suppose.
