Rockets being a little pesky with OKC---Do they have a chance to turn it around?

Uh, no. That would require the Rockets to play 2 perfect games and OKC to play 2 lousy games. Ain't gonna happen. The Rockets blew this in game 3.

It's slim but they have a chance. Remember games 2-5 were all close games that could have gone either way. It went the Thunder's way in Games 2 & 3 and the Rockets way the other two. You never can tell.

I agree with cougartino that it won't happen, and they blew almost any chance at winning the series by losing game 3. If the Rockets somehow manage to force a game 7, the odds shift a little but not a lot. How many times in the history of the NBA has a team come back and won a series after being down 3 games to none?

Oh, those Rockets....nevermind.

What is it about those Rockets? Is it the organization? the coach? If given the opportunity I can't imagine anyone with any knowledge would swap rosters with the Rockets yet they made the playoffs and are at least making a showing. I would say the Mavs have a lot more talent than the Rockets yet they weren't able to perform as well. Maybe that says a lot about the leadership for the Rockets.... Comments?

Rockets are 0-3 with Jeremy Lin. 2-0 without him... I'm just sayin

Rockets have the youngest team in the NBA, a double double machine in Asik, a star in Harden and a future all star in Chandler Parsons... But not much else.

It is halftime and 58 to 54 in favor of Oklahoma. The refs seem to be letting Durrant get away with some fouling. I used to really admire him but lately I am wondering. Unfortunately Hardin is playing ill and may be tired in the third quarter. In an earlier game the commentators said that out of 105 playoff series only 3 teams have come from a 0-3 deficit to force a game 7 and in that instance all 3 of those teams lost game 7 so Houston has a chance to make history even though I feel it is slim. Oklahoma made a mistake not keeping Hardin and with Westbrook out only team from the west that might give Miami trouble is the Spurs but I would favor Miami.

I think its a mistake to give up a lot just for the chance to over pay for an injury prone center who may change his mind about wanting to play for Houston next year.

I agree

It's tough cheering for a " rutterless " team.

Last years Rockets,the ones my satellite dish would not let me watch, did comfort me that thy had a plan. I bought in.

To throw away young prospects to go for Howard......???????

Team chemistry was forming....Howard could not even buy in with the Los Angeles area...jeez....

Aaron Brooks is sure getting a lesson on the " business " of NBA basketball.

For a guy who has talent and can play...he sure gets moved a lot.
