    Rockets have not lost two in a row with Harden/Paul/Capela. They are 46-0 after a loss, including in the playoffs.

    The series will be tied 2-2 on Tuesday.

    It was such a strange game.

    If we make the league average of 60% of our missed layups/dunks we go into halftime with the LEAD.

    That would lead to more energy and focus.

    That’s crowd really rallied and ignited the home team and we allowed curry to get open looks in the 3rd and built his confidence.

    We can snatch ALL of that away in game 4, and I think we will.

    Our biggest problem is turnovers and rebounding. We have to win those battles. I have faith in our offense and finishing shots at the rim

    The defensive effort also has to be better

    We need to actually use Capela. No reason for him to not have had 20+ points tonight. I think he had 11 in the first half, and then he was benched early in the 3rd not to return to the game AT ALL. Only 21 minutes when he was clearly playing well tonight.

    MDA needs to step the F up. We need to go back to our PnR offense. Taking too many contested ISO's, not enough PnR, not enough driving and kicking.

    We got Curry to switch on Harden/Paul ALL game, why not run a PnR with Capela after they have that switch? The Warriors would either have to help on Capela's roll (which opens a 3 or cut for us) If not Capela gets a layup on Curry everytime.

    Not taking advantage of simple **** like that makes my head hurt. Not doubling off of guys like Green/Livingston/Iggy/Looney/Bell was also a big mistake.

    46-0??? WE'VE ONLY LOST 20 GAMES THIS YEAR, including the playoffs.

    Try 13-6.

    I don't know what it is if you isolate games after losses where Harden/Paul/Capela played.

    Team has got a case of yips. When the going gets tough, it gets compounded. I'm all for MDA's build up confidence coaching approach.

    It feels like the team could use a Bill Fitch or Pop type figure to counter balance MDA, someone of authority and respect who will get in people's faces and make them run through walls.

    Especially when the level of the competition aka current champions demands four full quarter effort, execution and defense.

    Go Rockets. We believe.

    Maybe he added up each 15-0 for all 3 players and got around that number. No idea.

    I'd be inclined to agree with a bounceback if it were more competitive tonight. Like game 1 was competitive, they came back and won game 2. 41 point loss = seriously doubt they turn that around so quickly into a W in game 4. I hope so but honestly I'd be shocked.
