    The starting lineup will be fine to start the 3rd if Capela plays like he did in the 2nd quarter, and one of Ariza or Anderson takes and hits their open 3 point shots.

    Oladipo traveled before him too but who's paying attention to things like that?

    Capela has been good, those 2 blocks were great at the start of the second quarter and his finishing at the free throw line

    Half time lead! Big difference is playing hard from the tip. Keep it up in the second half and we should be good.

    That is to be expected.

    His game is about smarts and tricks.

    An athletic long defender with good defensive IQ will always give him problem.

    Second Quarter Westbrook Media Conspiracy stat checker

    2nd Q Plus/Minus for Westbrook ... game was tied at 27-27 when he returnd
    • -7 for the full 8 1/2 minutes.
    • +1 for the two minutes of that when Harden wasn't playing
    • -8 for 6 1/2 minutes when Harden returned
    • +8 for Harden in his 6 1/2 minutes in 2nd Q

    I think we should start Gordon over Anderson, push Ariza to the 4.

    See if that lineup will start the half off right.

    It wasn't our best half ever but that tempo in the 2nd half was incredible, crowd was in it, we were playing some great defense.

    Again I wish we trot out Harden, Bev, Egoo, Ariza and Nene to start the 3rd Quarter and put this baby to bed. Series over if that happens

    Rockets offense really crapped the bed at the end. Doesn't matter because OKC can't score

    Like someone said, if James is not fully healthy, pass the ball around or let either EG or Lou make a play.

    nah, it's been getting absolutely killed, and we shouldn't waste the 1st half of the 3rd quarter trying to see if it will finally be productive for the 1st time in forever in this series

    Definitely, i don't know how he doesn't get this, i mean, he's a smart player...also, try to make a team play first, you have always enough time to jack up a long 3, this way you just throw a possession in the toilet

    Put Ricky Booby in to start the second half and start fouling Roberson.

    Its Cloberson time.

    can Harden take a midrange shot to save his life? Everyone knows it's either jacking up threes or driving for a layup. How predictable can it get? You'd think diversifying your options would make it more difficult for defenders to guard you.
