I've said it before, but OKC was built just dreadfully around Durant and Westbrook.

If LeBron is sitting out tomorrow because of something as small as a sprained ankle, you're telling me he doesn't get shit on hugely for it?

BTW this was Kerr's decision.

Better coach and better system on the Mavs' side might make that an actual series.

Nice defense, JH. At least make it look like you're trying.

I think it speaks more to the Rockets as a non threat than anything. If this were the Spurs, I suspect he'd be playing.

The Warriors have the luxury of resting Curry. Nobody expects the Rockets to do anything this series.

If it was a game 7, or they were down a game, or if it was the Spurs or the Finals, thats a different story.

They are killing Harden at halftime. Deservedly so though, he's not even trying to play defense.

Hasn't all year. Although he's far from the only one on that team.

Nobody on the Rockets has given a shit for the entire season.
