    Says me. Harden is who he is. Never been a defender and only an average passer. So what? He's the MVP

    What the hell is wrong with Capella the first three mins he is going off, then disappears on O and D (and specifically rebounding) he was awful in game 1 but he was going against possible the best big man in years in AD, he should be killing that dope McGhee instead McGhee seems the more active player on D and O. Jesus Clint get yo **** together son !!!!

    there are only 2 shooters(cp and harden) in our starting line up...Melo should take ennis's spot!

    Is there a "I've grown to hate MCW" thread yet?

    I don't have time to teach you about basketball ...

    But trust me when I say ... your observation skills are weak and your critical thinking is non-existent .

    Meh..he hasnt been that bad.

    The team defense as a whole is terrible and Capela is simply refusing to guard the paint.

    Beadle should be ran over by a bus. Nobody would even care.

    I've been trying to figure this out... he takes shots on hakeem, drexler, harden and the rockets in general. I swear the Houston Rockets PR person needs to be fired.

    Okay...I hate the new Freedom of Movement rules. It cancels all defensive moves...no wonder Defensive Coach B retired. This has turn the game into an "All-Star" game...BORING!!!!!!! The NBA will lose fans watching this year...and I may be one of them!

    She is beyond terrible.

    Tries to look and sound smart but overdoes it and comes looking like a douche.

    He hasn't been prime pippen , but his D has been GOOD this game .

    Multiple deflections , solid man D , not fouling unnecessarily, generally not losing assignments off ball .

    We switch a lot , so some of the people that one might think harden is responsible for are actually other's fault .

    It's a little concerning that the Rockets are only up by four and Lebron had such a quiet first half...

    It would be smart to take advantage of it on offense. Off ball movement is apparently shunned in this Rockets offense.

    What are you watching? He's actually good so far tonight. Had 2 strips and hit a 3's.

    You confused Melo with Ennis or MCW???

    Tucker and Ennis have 0 points combined. Yikes.

    Don't think we can survive with 2 non-scorers and Capela in the starting lineup. It makes too much sense to start Gordon at the 3. Then you can put Ennis OR Tucker at the 4. Then go small with Ennis AND Tucker at the 4/5 as your small ball death lineup.
