    Great win! Impressive to bounce back after that awful 1st quarter.

    Capela needed to go up stronger this game. I'm happy he shot the free throw better tonight
    It's crazy that Capella is putting up great numbers and percentages and yet every game I can see something he needs to improve on. The sky's the limit for this kid

    Towns last night was absolutely on that level if not worse.

    I think the league needs to take a look at the intentional elbow he landed on NeNe last night.

    I would like to see Harden hitting tear drop shots. This will make it even harder to defend him. He won't get the whistles in the playoffs, when he drives to the rim most of the time. This will also reduce the chances of getting injured.
    Go Harden!
    Go Houston Rockets!

    27-1 now when Harden, CP3, and Capela are in the lineup. That is insane. Granted, that's probably not sustainable over the course of an entire season(especially since Paul seems incapable of staying healthy). But if you did prorate that over the whole year, the Rockets would go 79-3!

    He does need to go harder, honestly I believe he isn't confident enough.
    His post game has improved a bit, but he really needs to work on that, and to improve his jumper in the off season to take his game to the next level. KG/ Hakeem can help him out, but Capela can only get better if he wants it bad. He needs to realize that
    Hakeem became a superstar after working like mad, and absorbing punishment from Moses Malone.
    KG would dish out a lot of verbal abuse too. That may not be a bad thing in the long run.

    That 4th quarter was some straight 2K stuff. Just a barrage of offense in a few minutes to blow the Wolves out of the water.

    12 hours later and I'm still feeling the high.

    Very Warrior Esque Win.

    Moments of defensive dominance partnered with a barrage of offense that leaves the other team helpless.

    Stepped out for a smoke last night and the Rockets were up by four in the 4th. I was hoping they could hang on for the win. Came back inside after one cig and they were up 15, lol! Wolves had it going, but if you can't shoot threes, you can't beat the Rockets. Crazy.

    Anderson's parents were in the crowd. Someone tell Tilman to fly them to every game!
