    Think the difference this game will be the activity on the defensive end. Rubio was beating our guys too easily off the dribble, so hopefully the crowd can get these guys more focused.

    Will be paying close attention to Capela. He had one of his worst playoff games in recent memory. He looked out of it, and was even getting blocked by guards coming to help off the weak side. If he's at 75% at least and creating extra possessions, this will be a gentleman's sweep.

    There will be no more easy layups in the paint tonight for the jazz. With or without Capela the Rockets are going to lock it down

    This is exactly what’s going to happen along with Kenneth Faried

    Rockets need to play pissed off and agressive at both ends for the whole game!

    I wonder if that's true or if it's just Mike trying to convince himself...

    If Capela is not at least 80% healthy, I feel like he should sit game. You guys underestimate how teammates can compensate by playing harder in the absence of a key player. Nene and Faried are NBA veterans. They will be ready.

    Why is this game making me nervous? Really want to see us blow it open in the first half. Want to see Harden go on a tear and open up a can of whoop ass on these guys. He really needs to get this baboon of his back as it has gotten a lot bigger than a monkey. I am glad we have Chris Paul’s leadership. What he brings in leadership is invaluable.

    I would bet that Chris Paul already told Harden to have this/his game. Chris Paul will have his chance to lead us to victory against Golden State

    I think we should let Clint rest and recover tonight. Roll with Nene and Faried.

    I hope the Refs look for the Utah guards crashing in to Clint and pulling on one of his arms
    Watch for the defensive three seconds . .. . esp when two people guard a person that does not have the ball.
    The Defender CANNOT go to double Clint when Harden has the ball
