I relish negativity and disappointment. It is not healthy. Somebody buy me a pony.

Raps try to close the game earlier by milking clock with Lowry/DD ISO. The other team starts trapping high up top, leading to forced shots, turnovers and transition points the other way. It's very predictable. Whether it's Casey or Lowry calling the plays, I don't know. But it's maddening. They saved this game when Joseph came in because DeMar gave up the ball early on the next 2 possessions giving us a 2Pat dunk and a CoJo wide open 3. This team never learns... just move the damn ball."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

I totally get that neither Harden and to lesser extent Russ were at that level but everybody was hyped that they were supposed to be the next young dynasty. They had already played in a championship....crazy to think that even before Harden was a Rocket, the Thunder made a Finals. I have no idea how management can let go of that and cant imagine how tough that feels as a OKC fan. Look at us with VC n TMac, now imagine even better players lol
Anyways not our problem but I just think they have done a much better job surrounding young, elite talent with veterans and a coach to guide them like Fox, Horry, Fisher, Phil etc did with Kobe and Shaq. I realize they couldnt likely get a coach (not GM lol) like Phil but a college coach and no vets...come on OKC, thats not how you build a championship team.

DeRozan, Powell and Ibaka. Ibaka was actually most consistently good, Powell was probably the biggest game changer, but have to hand it to DeMar, who did put up a couple stinkers, but had 4 great games that were instrumental in our wins and showed he could take a back seat and make plays when needed.
Other guys who played well - Lowry, JV, Tucker. Honourable mention to Wright and Pat for some key stints. Cory basically played well for the final 3 minutes of the series and that's it.

Of course when you look back now it was a mistake, but not even the Rockets knew how good Harden was going to be when they traded for him, Harden was young but he played terribly in the Finals in 2012, so they decided to trade him instead of paying him. To be honest, looking back, I would have traded Westbrook, I think Harden would have been a better fit beside KD than Westbrook.
