    The rockets won their last three games by a total of 14 points. Roberson was 3-21 for the last three games. I don't think I have seen a team ever hack a guy when they are up which the rockets did tonight.

    I was shocked Donovan kept him in. He isn't Shaq or even Dwight.

    I'm confused. We hacked him while leading last game.

    I like him. He is an excellent wing defender.

    But you gotta work on your FTs man.

    I feel for the guy.

    Nah, Westbrook was the real hero for the Rockets.

    As @BigTex pointed out:

    4th Quarter stats for all 5 games

    Westbrook
    14/49 FG. 28%
    4/21 3pt. 19%
    19/27 FT. 70%
    -23

    Harden
    12/21 FG. 57%
    5/13 3pt. 38%
    18/22 FT. 82%
    +30

    I personally enjoyed watching him:

    A) heave that wide open 3 and barely draw iron
    and
    B) grab the ball on the fast break only to get fouled and miss more FTs

    Billy D is the real MVP. Not sure why Billy D kept playing this guy.

    He'll be ok. He's getting an $88 million contract in 2 months

    Because @fchowd0311 and Billy D cracked Harden' s code when the figured out he was the laziest slowest player in history with horrible endurance.

    Keeping him in was essential and how the Thunder won game 4 and 5.

    If you exclude the 1st game the thunder were +40 with him which means they were something like -50+ points without him. He took some terrible shots, but the the second leading scorer in the series was roberson. The guy who bricked 18+ FTs was their second leading scorer.

    I feel bad that an NBA level wing is so terrible from the FT line. He is disrespecting the NBA and Game of Basketball
