    Capela has been big. Spurs are a good match up for him.

    I'm having internet and cable issues so can't watch. How's the pace so far? Does it favor Rockets?

    Spurs are obviously right there with the Rockets, but how are you all feeling about this game so far?

    Should be up 15 but refs absolutely won't allow that.

    Rockets playing their ass off. Refs doing their best to refute that.

    I honestly think they should give 10 foot on every side of the court and throw down padding so players can have the option to dive after balls that are going out of bounds.

    Rockets just need to come out and put in a big 3rd Q

    Any lead over 10 points and Popo going to rest his starters

    We're playing a really perfect game, and we're only up 2 at the half.

    Anyone else slightly worried?

    That wasnt intentional Reggie, that is just how the spurs have been setting picks all game. They didn't actually want to foul.

    These ****ing commentators are ridiculous. Hardem has a half for the ages and they just gloss over it

    Intentional foul away from the ball in the last 2 minutes...."hacka" means 2 shots and the ball right?

    As far as both teams playing well, probably. This feels like a game 7.
