Rockets: Is it bad that...

[Captivus]

I want to see the 2nd game before jumping to conclusions. OKC started focused and HOU was distracted (for whatever reason). The initial pts differential was very important, because it allowed OKC to rest players.
Like I said, I’m gonna wait for the 2nd game.

And yes, OKC is the better team. Rockets shouldn’t be mad if they don’t win. This was (is) an excellent season with a new team.

its going to be a sweep with the starters playin scrub minutes padding stats...why even bother

[OKC]

Houston could take a game if they get REALLY hot from the perimeter. They took 36 three pointers last night. Houston seems to live by the 3 pointer. OKC has too much length on the perimeter and too much speed defensively for Houston to get many really uncontested looks unless they're in transition. Besides KD and Westbrook, you also have anothe pretty blatant mismatch with Ibaka and whoever Houston puts on the floor at the 4.

Pretty much this. I can definitely see the Rockets hitting something like 19-34 from 3 in one game, and it would take a heroic effort by the Thunder to win in that case. However, it won't be enough to stop the Rockets from losing in 5 (my pick).

The patterson trade was ing stupid. Morey and his dumb sell high buy low crap doesn't always work. Just watch, Parsons is going to be traded this off season in a stupid trade.
