    Capela has 3 fouls, he will have to avoid picking up his 4th so I question how aggressive he'll be

    no Nene is a problem

    Nah, they still aren't gonna call a goddamned thing on the Spurs but they just cut the baloney bullshit horsepiles on the rockets.

    So it's fair. Took two games of shenanigans and a letter to the commish about it to get a fair shake.

    Its the D letting us down. Shooting 51% from field and 39% from 3 is quit egood

    Need to tighten the D

    Wake up Jeffrey Biglydick

    Rockets need to dig deep. Refs are against them. Gonna have to overcome.

    Mike please continue to play Sam

    And give Harrell some minutes .. We need a big to roll to the rim ... It's literally half our offense

    Capela will be back in the lineup in the second half. He just has to be careful not to pick up that 4th foul until the 4th quarter.

    How come Kawhi isn't gassed. Can't uses excuses anymore for Harden. He just doesn't play defense.

    It amazes me he gets frustrated when he doesnt get the ball... Takes 2 dribbles, pivots, turns away from the basket, then looks for Harden... Isnt this like his 10th year? Know your role and shut the hell up!

    We need to build a big lead in the 3rd, entering the 4th.

    I don't trust our execution if this thing is going to be this close the rest of the way.

    Yup. He is an elite assassin on offense. ANY defense is a huge bonus. I do like how he gets in there for some defensive rebounds though.

    And kawhi looks for as much contact on drives as harden or Lebron or anyone. Rockets need to start doing the hands up thing on the perimeter so they can get away with tomahawks elsewhere.

    Harden playing well. Lou showed up. Ryan hopefully can finally get going. Gordon is ok

    Yeck. Had to mute the damn TV, the commentary is so awful. My lifetime business to the first media company that lets just mute the commentary tracks on sports without muting the whole game.

    I know Parker did show up this series before his injury but that was offensively. Problem now is all those minutes are split between all these younger wing defenders like Simmons. More defenders mean slower pace. Rockets need speed to kill.
