    Through 4 games now: It's Harden of course leading the team, but then Lou, EG and Nene as the next 3 highest scorers for our team. I think this shows how much OKC has scouted out Capela, Anderson and Ariza to try and neutralize them.

    Good thing we got all 3 of these guys since last years playoffs. Makes a huge difference to be able to kill other teams with our 2nd unit.

    Anderson wasn't scouted out. So far as I can tell, he's just missing. Though he's playing slightly better in the last two.

    Gordon and Lou averaged more than everyone else in the regular season as well. Part of the reason our bench has been so good is that we stagger our talent.

    Yep, if anything their scouting has left them to put their worst defender on Ryan to hide him.

    Anderson is simply trash.

    Capella is being neutralized becasue he can't keep up with the OKC bigs. We NEED ONAKU!

    Capela played really well in the first two games. I think he's just more of a home-arena player. We're probably gonna need him on Tuesday. His defense is invaluable to this team.

    Be fair now, Anderson is not trash bro. He's played like trash but I think he'll pop up next series with a few clutch 3's

    Gordon and Louis Williams were a constant 3rd point threat in the regular season. Nene has been the best big for quite some time.

    Anderson, Ariza and Capela had their games but nobody impacted the wins as much as the above mentioned in recent games.

    Ariza and Capela did well in the beginning of the season. Anderson just had a good game in 5 or 10 games.

    This was a clear writing on the wall IMHO. Beverley being the HC enforcer Wolverine.

    If and when the p***y Rhno hits some shots, Rockets should blow out OKC. Hopefully next game

    Some metrics reflecting our starters' woes. Related to Capela's struggle and the benches' stepping up.

    Nothing makes me happier than seeing Harden, Lou, and EG on the floor at the same time. Just too many holes to plug, defensively.

    It also makes me happy that Lou can finally play well with both guys on the floor with him.

    Love me some Bev... but there's no reason when Harden is out that Lou should not be running the offense.

    Too many times Bev is seen trying to run the pick and roll and it just doesn't work. Lou or Gordon have to be the creators.

    Lou and EGo are the 2 best offensive efficiencies out of ANY players in the playoffs averaging over 20 minutes. Bench or starters.
