You obviously do not understand the dynamic and or fundamentals of the defensive aspect of this sport.

This is the NBA, not some high school team.

had to be one of the lowest scoring games since the 3 point line

It doesn't matter.

OKC, a team clearly banged up and missing key talent going up against a team that could've easily won by double digits.

What do you rely on then? Defense. And when you haven't played a game in a few days, what do you really have time to work on? The #1 thing that can make or break a game?

Defense. They had the time and the opportunity to play an excellent grind out defensive game and it almost worked.

NBA or not, penetrating defense can stop anyone.

[new era]

Its a long season. Teams are gonna play bad sometimes and give away wins (even though they didn't).

[Ebumdude]

You mean, like Hardens missed free throw that would've caused the push on the spread? Lol.

Houston plays Memphis tomorrow, Im sure they didnt go balls to the wall against lowely and injury-ridden OKC. Tomorrow's game means more, I would assume. Something to think of as well, Houston just barely beat the Sixers at home.

[Ebumdude]

Barely beat the 6ers, yes. But look at what time their flight landed from Mexico before that game started? Jet lag and everyone moving slow as molasses in practice....yeah, they barely beat the 6ers considering...

Huston just plain suck. trust me. Harden is not a franchise player or a team leader, nether Is howard.. they are trying to make those two play together but it aint work.. every time harden try to lobbed it to howard hes telepathing it... this team aint passing round one if they make playoff
