So another game 7 tonight and since I did not do one last night I feel like I should tonight.

#NBA #NBAPlayoffs #ThunderUp #HoustonRockets

To put it bluntly, I have 0 faith in the Rockets. As we saw yesterday, game 7 usually turns into a half-court slow trench warfare. This exactly what the Thunder wants.

In a half-court slugfest OKC wins, added by the fact they have Chris Paul a top 5 PG ever who can control the pace and tempo with the game.

For the Rockets I do not trust Westbrook whatsoever. Compounded with the fact that he's returning from an injury and is clearly rusty, it makes it hard for me to believe that he will play to his fullest

It's also a fact that with Westbrook and Harden both in the lineup, the Rockets offense is worse.

When the game becomes half court it will be the Harden ISO show. He will need to carry this team if the Rockets want to win

So after a few casual thoughts, I think the Thunder win 97-90

The half-court style kills the Rockets, and while I want them to win because LAL vs HOU is a great matchup, my mind is telling me they won't.
