What's new

There's no tank and why we need a match up with the Rockets

What’s the deal with Rubio? I am assuming he is out at least a game or two.
I am trying to get on the Rubio train as he has undoubtedly played well, but the deal as I see it is he's actually not that important to winning still. The question of his playing or not is more a question of depth than it is the net of what he brings vs what he doesn't.

In other words; we won last night, didn't we? Let him heal up so the Rockets have less to gameplan for, and when he comes back, they'll have to change their gameplan again.

I agree about resting him. I think the original hamstring injury occurred late in the regular season and has been bothering him for quite some time.

But I think he's essential to any chance Utah has against the Rockets. The Thunder only had RW as a real threat at guard. Rockets have Paul and Harden. It's going to be hard for Mitchell and a sub (O'Neale or Exum?) to contain both of those guys.
 
We're facing the best guards in the NBA this postseason - first Westbrook and now Harden. Yet I would choose our guard - Mitchell - over either of them.

Told you these guys are weak, fragile, and cowards. Harden, Paul, and D’Antoni are the holy trifecta of charmin.

Infection is a prophet. It is rumored that when he goes to Best Buy the churro sends him visions... had we gotten Niko we would have won the championship already... twice!
