    Awesome job Rockets! For sure this kinda game turns into a L last year, the growth of this team and all the Morey moves making all the difference!

    Paul, Capela, Tucker and Harden have just carried this team.

    Please Gordon show up against GS.

    Capela earned a max offer this playoff. I really have to give him a ton of credit. The scouts were right about hunger with this kid. He really just wanted to get better from the moment he was picked. I am actually really happy for him to essentially grow up right before our eyes. If the Rockets have a chance at getting Lebron, I would love it, but the Rockets really need to find a way to keep this kid and see how he may start to grow. If he starts getting a game in the post, he really has a chance to become something in today's league.

    So, I think we need to address CP3's man defense. He CLEARLY doesn't give a **** a lot of times as a man defender. Even this postseason Coasting 100%.

    Tonight he made it a point to not let anyone by, and only a few times did it happen.

    I think he has a second gear that will be unleashed in the real Finals next round. The only worrying thing is his interior decision making(or lack thereof)

    Rockets are 24-0 (including playoffs) when Capela gets 3+ blocks.

    Rockets defense is ranked #2 after made baskets (set defense). We suck after missed shots and during fast breaks.

    Harden looked tired in 2nd half. Had his hands on his waist and knees a lot.

    Commentators hyping up the inevitable Rockets/Warriors like a collision of two meteors has me pumped.

    Harden needs to quit shooting that dumbass step back 3. It was so infuriating to watch.

    I'm excited about going back to Houston and closing this thing out. One thing though....there is so much talk about our 3 pt. shooting but the truth is that we shoot a lot of threes but we DON'T hit them at a high rate. If we could balance things out with some drives to the basket instead of jacking up unconscious 3's...we'd be UNBELIEVABLE !

    Imagine if Wright was healthy. The Rockets would have a block party for 48 minutes.

    Watching Harden play in the 2nd half was incredibly frustrating. He did get that and 1 but that was about it.
    The best part was Capela completely owning the paint and Mitchell after the jump ball.

    Harden played a very poor second half tonight.

    Paul, Capela and our defense bailed us out. The ultimate sign of why we are legit this year, we are not entirely beholden to the performance of one person.

    Harden’s been amazing overall in these playoffs and especially in this series. He had 1 bad game (more like really bad 2nd half), y’all need to relax.

    CP3 picked up the slack, that’s why we got him.

    What a huge ****ing deal to take back to back games on Utah's court! Everyone busting their butts to pull off the wins. Paul had a great game and Harden made his usual impact, but damn, Clint Capela!

    The young man is growing right before our eyes! Morey is a Draft God!
    We're rolling now! :cool:
