    Harden and Paul are going to be match up more often than a lot of people are thinking.

    The thing that makes them so tough for us is that they have 3 guards who will shred our non existent perimeter defense. McLemore, House are turnstiles, they are going to get past the first line of defense like butter and we have zero rim protection. Going to be a layup drill.

    We actually do a lot better against teams with bigs because we force so many turnovers when they force post ups.

    The is a do or die by the 3 series. They will have no problem scoring on us in every way possible.

    You do you.

    I am confident in my team, defense and offense.

    I am confident Harden will be the best player in this series. And it isnt even close.

    And I am confident that Harden led teams have defeated CP3 led teams in all previous playoff matchups.

    Finally, I am confident the Rockets will win it all, not just against these pissant Thunder.

    I am doing me. just letting you know that tweet isn't some epic multi worthy post. it disregards the most important aspect of the actual game.

    everyone here pretty much knows you've reach homer levels. that doesn't need to be explained. but just because others aren't complete homers doesn't make them any less of a rockets fan than you. The rockets aren't the only team in this and other teams are damn good as well. They're not going to be easily running over anyone in this playoff race

    I'm not saying you're less of a fan, I'm saying you are a coward.

    exactly what im talking about. since others aren't homers, you take it all personal. that's cool. I'll do the same

    since Clutch thinks this is a tough matchup as well, he must be a coward as well. Boy you're smart

    You should strongly consider posting a lot less.

    Your whining responses are not personal at all.

    Carry on.

    I'm torn, the team with James Harden should be the favorite, but any team with Westbrook always has a chance to lose. Could go either way.

    I feel like they might try to have Harden guarding Gallinari than leave him on the perimeter.

    From what I remember any time Gallinari is guarded by McLemore, House or even Gordon it was a free basket

    It's a switch everything defense.

    OKC should be more worried on who Gallo is defending instead. He sucks.

    yeah since Clutch thinks it's a tough matchup also, he must be this coward too. Be sure to pass on that memo bootlicker
