    LBJ elbow to Amena face equals foul on Amen.

    Have we ever had a 10 point lead in this series? I don't remember it.

    Even Phoenix managed to get one on OKC. Like they just have not had a good stretch of them just outplaying this team.

    If you’re having to teach pro basketball players how to run a fast break you have the wrong pro basketball players.

    This team is just selfish, and yes a lot of that's on the players, but a lot of it is coaching too. With no gameplan, those guys have to freestyle out there which leads to this iso crap.

    There's no cutting, no double screens, nothing. You see more motion on one lakers possession than 5-6 rockets possessions combined.

    Let’s see if our bench can score more than 3 points tonight.

    We've had very few outright leads this series. We always immediately go down to start and spend the rest of the game clawing back.

    That was caused by bad defense by Okogie and Holiday.

    A few times it’s been either an inability or not wanting to make one more pass to a trailer

    Pretty hilarious that it appears nobody on this team has ever run a 3 man weave
