    1. Capela is a huge player for us, and we need more inside presence
    2. Our small-ball lineup will fail playing against bigger teams like LAL

    The loss was arguably good for the team. But losing CP3? Nope.

    Can't wait for the 7 man rotation next game.

    At least the Lakers didnt celebrate like they won a ring. We've all seen that bs before with some teams.

    I do think the games without Capela show we need another tall center that can catch lobs and block shots.

    Nene is great for small ball, he still has a role on this team...but yeah...these games without Capela have been rough.

    I wonder what it would take to get Tyson Chandler.

    lol ok. i don't disagree with you on MDA getting CP3 hurt cause his rotations suck, but that's not the point of my reply. but your post was trying to rub it in others' faces like we weren't going to come back even though it was trending that way until CP3 got hurt. you declared this game over when we were down early, yet we made huge runs to come back and take the lead.

    dumbass five year old throwing a tantrum? take a look in the mirror, have you not seen your posts in game threads? again, wash your face, you sound extremely stupid.

    Uh, the media have been fawning over the Rockets for weeks. What are you talking about?

    How bad did Paul's injury look?

    It appears harden will have to carry. Hes back in form at the least

    Tarik was awful but he just needs to be out there with the possibility that he can find it. With no lob threat the Rockets are done. Tarik needs a longer leash.

    The loss is inconsequential.

    The Chris Paul knee situation is the only thing that really matters.

    at least harden got 50 which will give him a good cushion in winning the scoring title.
