    Be careful taking OKC tonight

    Even if Westbrook was healthy, their goal would have been to split these two games in Houston. The mission is already accomplished and I expect Brooks to experiment a little to try to figure out the rotation minus Russell.

    In reality, a loss may not be that bad because it will give Scotty another game to figure things out as far as how he will manage minutes.

    Houston has been knocking on the door and to be honest, their whole goal has probably been just to win a playoff game. I think they'll play well tonight.

    2/3 of these games could have went Hou way. I wouldn't want to be giving Hou the belief they could win.

    BigD's reads on OKC games are usually pretty spot on.... He's not telling you to play HOU as much as he's saying to take it easy on OKC should that be your bet.

    Think we will see a juicy OKC live line at some point. Don't expect them to dominate from tip like they did last game

    Grabbed OKC at +4 when they were down 13-4.

    Just grabbed Houston at +4.5 as they're currently down 41-34.

    Close on that 1Q but it hit. There was no way Houston was going to come out flat on their homecourt two nights in a row. Also noticed 1Q was being held as a PK at pinny while they were juicing OKC. No reason for OKC to to be a PK 1Q when the full game line was at 1.5.

    No I'm not. The rockets haven't been shooting well at all and could have gotten games 2 or 3. If they begin hitting shots at just a decent percentage, limit Harden hero ball, they can go on a run. All they need is 1 win.

    If Houston holds on to win, game 5 could be interesting. It's certainly not a 'must win' for OKC, but the last thing they would want to do is have this series dragged out into easily a 7 game series if they lose game 5. It would be as about an exciting game 5 there has been when the home team is up 3-1.

    Round 2 is going to be a dog fight for OKC. Definitely in their best interest to wrap this up at home in game 5

    The Westbrook injury seems to be more of a detriment than a lot of people thought it would be, including me.

    Harden such a fake superstar. You rested pretty much the whole 4th qt. Take the ball to the hoop.

    Durant drives to the hoop and dishes to a wide open Fisher for three. Calling it!

    Good call OKC fan guy. Rockets owed me after I bet on them in game 3. Cleaned up on them 1Q, full game and 2H.
