    Time for redemption and to take the pain away of losing. Time for Chris Paul to feel what it is like to get past this round. Time for Harden to lead us past this round.

    It takes so long to get back to here, lets not waste it

    This one we did.

    If we are going to win the championship, winning the first series should not come as a surprise . If u want to be the champ, you have to think like one.

    Hope that Jazz/OKC series goes to 7.

    OKC probably will win at home tho if that happens. That team is extremely bipolar... it's probably better to face the Jazz.

    gonna say jazz take the win friday night, and rockets will get tested from the start with the jazz. I think that what was going on over there with jazz-okc series was a harder battle than what the rockets are doing. Thunder have nobody to stop gobert, Ingles or Crowder.

    Utah has like 6-7 players that can score anywhere around 10-20 a night. Thunder just have there big 3, and lack bench. For thunder to win Westbrook has to throw up 40+ or have paul and him both have 32+ night. Just not gonna happen.

    Like in tonight's game rockets had 6+ players score in double figures contributing. Utah has had some 5-6 people contribute as well to win. Its just how it works chemistry and everyone chipping in to win.

    Pelicans have 4 players all scoring big and doing the job. Why the obvious sweep. lol

    And we see the same with Lebron and the Cavs too, with them needing Lebron to reach deep into his bag of tricks every game and produce an otherworldly performance just to eke out a tight win against the freakin' Pacers.

    In 4 games against the Jazz

    Harden: 34.3 ppg, .554 FG%, .432 3pt%, 6.3 rpg, 6.8 apg, 2.3 steals. 4-0 record and +70 in those games (or an average of 17.5 ppg)

    Sure, we are supposed to be at the second round, as it is a stop to the championship. No chicken and no need to play Dickens here.

    I want the Jazz as well. OKC is so volatile, unpredictable, and goofy. Westbrook is a nut, but he is also an explosive athlete that can drop 40 in minutes.

    Either will be in 5 games. The bench in OKC is worse than last year which is where they will lose regardless if WB averages 40. Carmelo has been a non factor and Paul Gerorge will be offset by Paul's scoring. We shouldn't have even talked about this if Jazz had not collapsed in the 3rd.

    Utah has played great at home but Thunder have double Houston in opponent second chance points and opponent points due to TOs. Rockets have played better defensively than Thunder. If they could pick up thier defense in the paint they could sweep either team. See it 5 games max either.
