    How was this game any different from that effortless game in regular season where McHale benched all starters minute in the 3rd quarter? I think it was the game where Smith had started over DMO. So yeah, if you can do that in regular season, why not try it in the playoffs?

    Harden did look very disinterested. I just can't understand why he wouldn't be interested in 2nd round playoff game. Reminds me of Lebron his last playoff series in Cleveland (the 1st time). He looks like he's unhappy with something

    Exactly.

    This is what I've been asking since the Portland debacle last postseason.

    The Rockets didn't take advantage of their opponent, they underestimated them all night. Their ego cost them the game, they took the Clippers too lightly. They look a half a step slow. Just poor effort and energy. Was just an absolute disgrace and embarrassment. I hope game one wakes them up. Just being careless with the basketball all night long. Turnovers was also another big reason we lost.

    Yes - Agree Capela may be strong enough to stick on Blake. Great defender.

    So many damn turnovers - MUST not turnover so much as they kill us in transition.

    Expect less turnovers tomorrow, I hope.

    The statistical usefulness of 6 playoff games is less than even 6 regular season games.

    I was being sarcastic.

    Capela may use his length and athleticism better, but he gets pushed around A LOT

    If we want someone who can't get pushed around, we'd put big Joey Swolesy on him. Unleash Dorsanity!

    What's CurtLow's screen name here on CF? He needs to be repped. Represents Rockets fans pretty well. Does a good job of supporting the team as a diehard, but can look at this team and the rest of the league very objectively.
