    That was all they have and we took it. Now we kick them in the face.

    7 points down, either we speed up our tempo, or it will be hard to come back - The Rockets are playing scared, let it FLY, play faster - push the ball up the court.....move the ball.

    Problem is, Rockets switch everything.

    We have no back up center that can do what Capela does.

    It's either Nene, Ryno, or going small and Ariza is in foul trouble. Think that is why we saw Nene.

    Still, Nene can't defend the perimeter this series, so it's probably better to have Ryno in there to at least space the floor on offense.

    what made me want to make that post was just watching durant rising up easily and no one other than capela can contest the shot, not their ball movement. we need to make faster moves to the basket, the slow play is killing us.

    Harden in for the whole fourth but he better move the ball and trust he will get it back

    Correct, burning fouls on someone like Nene doesn’t hurt us when we got NO ONE that can guard him

    7 points is what I said I’d be happy to be within entering the 4th. Time to muscle our way to this win!!!!

    Harden ran out of gas after that 1st half. Expended waaaay to much energy to get his points. Gonna need other players to step up if we're going to steal this one.

    CP3 is having one of his spastic games. Several unforced turnovers.

    True, but Nene is far more likely to foul on a 3pt shot.

    How does the so-called point god dribble the ball out of bounds with no one within 6 feet of him? I don't get it man. I've never seen Steve Nash or John Stockton do that EVER.
