    Capela is really getting a free pass from fans. If you think he is a young big developing that's chill but if are on the "Capela is a All-Star" train tonight is example of how much he needs to growth. Mostly with defensive rotations!

    Totally agree. Be satisfied that MDA used a 9 man rotation in a nail biter that we pulled out with D in the end!

    Even if the Rockets' defense improved the 4th quarter, the first half defense was horrendous. Can't beat the dubs with this kind of defense come playoffs..

    Truth. 'Never ignore in victory what you'd correct in defeat'. Too many defensive lapses to say they had a good game on that end, regardless of how the game ended.

    Good to see Ryan and P.J. are finally hitting some 3's. You know we have it good when Luc, Trevor, and Nene can combine for a whopping 7 pts between them and it doesn't matter, because we are now 18-0 with James, Clint, and Chris on the floor!! Not a pretty win, but I'll take it.

    Last but not least, I'm just glad Eric only took seven 3's tonight. But, I will give him credit for finding ways to score in the paint when others aren't.

    Did you read the context of my post? Playoffs is a different animal. You don't just magically get your defense going in the playoffs. Winning a few games against a good team in the regular season has really not much of a correlation in the playoffs.

    Yeah, I would like to see him get a few minutes every game. Maybe he is still in the doghouse from his sneaky shenanigans.

    Baby steps, can't expect 10 right off the bat especially in tight game.

    LOL what? One of the most agile lateral players who might possibly make the most contact finishes in the league isn't that good around the rim? GTFO.

    18-0, what's the message here?

    We're proving we're tough to beat & it's encouraging for what's gonna happen next. We're gonna stay confident & aggressive.

    You seem to have gotten under Kevin Durant's skin.

    Yeah. It's part of the game. All that matters is my team keeps getting better & keeps winning. That's all I care about right now.

    But you do believe what you said?

    Yes. I'm confident in our team, our best players James & Chris, even Eric. All the guys have been doing a great job. I'm confident with every guy on our team. I'm confident with what we can do this year.

    Tonight a good example...

    Yes. Tonight was a great example. Scrappy games like that, kinda hard, we came back & won. This is what great teams do. This is what we did.

    TWolves, Warriors, tonight - 4th Q execution...

    Exactly. Chris & James, they know how to control the tempo in the 4th & make the right decision. We keep battling until the end.
