    He didn’t look that great in the OKC series. He seemed a step slow, clumsy, missing gimmes around the rim. Also he didn’t rebound that great either.

    No let down in the second half, please. Stomp them out.

    Gerald might’ve had a negative plus-minus during the entire Minny series.

    I hate it when Jalen Rose waxes eloquent about Harden at halftime . . . media conspiracy

    But we'll never do much in the playoffs with Clint Capela as our starting center.

    Hehe.

    I love when Michelle Beadle has to say something positive about the Rockets...probably makes her soul churn.

    So you’re saying the First Round was “tougher” than this Second Round? Perhaps....

    But we can’t ignore how the Jazz handily beat OKC. I think OKC would have beaten the Wolves in the first round...

    Naw, man.. Rockets are just a bad match up for the Jazz. Has very little to do with emotion, IMO. We saw it in the regular season. Add to that, Ricky is out, It's a perfect storm.

    Meh. Both teams are bowling pins this year. The Rox are the bowling ball.

    I'm waiting for my 4th quarter Joe Cheeze pizza and then we smoke that victory cigar.

    Capela outplayed KAT in the 1st round & is outplaying Gobert so far today. Wonder when everyone will wake up & start respecting his talent.

    Also, Harden hasn't been getting calls so far this Playoffs. Players like LeBron, DeRozan, AD, Embiid have been living at the line while he's been getting hacked on a lot of these drives.
