    With OKC's Williams going down to a grade 1 hamstring strain (2 weeks), we can now rest comfortably knowing the universe did everything in its power to help us get to the WCF and we just shat the bed.

    Luka and Reaves-less Lakers. OKC without J-Will. What more can you ask for. It's like the universe knew Durant would miss game 1 and went "let me just make it extra easy for them, take out BOTH Lakers top scorers".

    Now ****ing tell me it wouldn't have been worth acquiring a PG at the trade deadline because as Clutchfans likes to say - BUT WOULD IT MOVE THE NEEDLE? BUT WOULD IT HAVE BEEN WORTH GIVING UP AN ALMIGHTY 15TH PICK?

    Shove the needle and the pick up your......

    Why the f*ck aren’t these AAU coaches telling him this. Run the damn pick and roll from the wings instead of the top of the key. These mofos are just standing 3ft from the basket with their hands up waiting for you to throw your fadeaway hook. Freakin angle them off.

    At some point, their pride and self-respect should come in to play. Getting embarrassed on national television by Grandpa LeBron, Marcus Smart, and Lupe Kennard has to trigger something in them. The Rockets need a blowout win.

    It's honestly funny that you think anyone who dislikes Trump is somehow a crazy lib when he's got the lowest approval rating in modern history lol
