    Did they not see most of the games these two teams played this season? This one turned out the exact same way. Even the final margin was the same.

    Yeah between Capela and Towns, Capela did made a bigger impact. When Capela is doing pretty well the chances of rockets winning really exponentiate. With Towns somehow his stats don't scare me. He can have a twenty-twenty but if Capela is also having a good game the impact aint really that big.

    Folks, plz bare with me..Lebron will get his 4th ring this year..not because I want him to obviously but because I see where this is going if Houston manage to make it to the finals..the league doesn't want Lebron's legacy or his brand to be ruined..it WILL be a rig series, so because of this im not watching the finals if we do make it..i hope im wrong though..

    Can Dantoni write up plays where Ryan Anderson gets passed the ball with 1 second left on the shot clock?

    That's what the bleep I'm talking about. What a game Red Nation, what a freaking game.

    I'm not going to lie, I was a little worried for a split second but man didn't our boys turn it up some notches in the 2nd half.

    Simple beautiful.

    Capela was a monster out there.

    Gordon aka Sniper was on his game.

    Ariza had his shot going.

    Harden and Paul taking over like Superstars suppose too.

    Tucker with some clutch three pointers from the corners.

    And Elite defensive effort.

    The Jazz had an explosive third quarter. Not a 50 point one but they closed the ground quickly in that quarter.

    That's what I was saying.

    Let Moute comeback whenever he's ready, but right now I don't want a week off after finally finding our rhythm therefore let's hope the Jazz wrap up their series on Friday so we can play on Sunday. Otherwise our 2nd round won't start until Tuesday or Wednesday.

    Wow. That second half was unreal. Putting two halves like that together for one game would be damn near orgasmic.

    Talent has never been a issue because if you’re second best player is Chris Paul you are doing well in that department. Next round we need to be more consistent and we will be fine.

    That’s not a bad thing considering we have Paul, Nene and couple of guys like Ariza who will benefit from the rest after such a physical series.

    I am bored of the Thunderers. Bring on the Jazz next round. Time to add to the playoff rivalry history. It's been too long. Go Rockets!
