    and poorly. Not the right time to do it, not the right players to do it, didn't stop doing it when they got to 6 points. Just failed at it all around.

    Win or lose, this is a huge moral victory for Houston. Second youngest team in the league taking the favorites to 6-7 games. Even after the Westbrook injury, They were on the verge of being swept. They are going to be an attractive place for free agents this summer.

    OKC gave Houston a big mental advantage fouling Asik. They admitted they couldn't win without that strategy. Pretty stunning.

    Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams

    Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston

    Yeah, that was the wrong route to take. There was over 5 minutes left when they started doing that, right? I was in and out of the game, but I was shocked at how much time was left when they went that route.

    def boston, they will force a game 7. Im gonna go out on a limb and say the Thunder beat Houston in game 6 with Durant scoring more than 50. He's taking this one over...

    I think for the the first time in nba history there will a be an 0-3 comeback. I think Houston will pull it off but I can also see Boston doing it as well.

    I want to see if all the Lebron haters that said he had to pair up with D-Wade to win will kill Durant on the forums since Durant is not doing so hot leading his team to victory without his co-pilot. For the record, I don't think either guy is/was deserving of negative criticism but I was just curious if "informed fan" guy was going to bash Durant.

    I was on the "Durant would be better without Westbrook" last year. Except they had Harden then.

    Also presses upon me how critical having more than one go-to option is.

    Last year they had harden though so it was a better argument. Right now is exactly why they shouldn't have traded him.

    "I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

    Durant has been better without Westbrook. The problem is that the rest of the team suffers without a ball dominant guard who can draw attention away from the role players. Everyone else is suffering as a result.

    I think the thunder and Knicks both close it out on the road.

    So David Lee is playing tonight 4 games after suffering an injury that should have kept him out til training camp. Does that mean David Lee is the man, and Eric Gordon is a puss, or David Lee understands the importance of urgency, while Eric Gordon is just here for the ride?
    If you Jimmer it, they will come.

    Nah, it means their medical staff misdiagnosed him because there is no way you can even walk properly with a torn hip flexor, much run and play a freaking basketball game. He just sprained it, and he probably got a big shot of cortisone before the game.

    Why does every single player playing through an injury turn into a bash Gordon topic? It's annoying, to say the least....

    You can also add the whole it's playoffs not regular season. One of the few times of the year were risking injured players is somewhat acceptable. Haha poor Ej, the official New Orleans whipping boy.

    Well Curry is finding his rhythm, that means game's pretty much over.

    Amazing just how bad avery bradly has looked in the playoffs, his stock has just plummeted. Even the biggest boston homer out there Bill Simmons had an article talking about how Bradly has been exposed these last few games
