    This reminds me of a little girl from a steel town who had the dream to dance. She had to strip down to nothing, she had to sit in that chair and arch her back and she reached up and pulled that chain to nowhere and doused herself with water!

    Really just comes down to can Capela not get man handled by Adams once again?

    Really would love to see the Rockets beat the Thunder. Gonna be pissed if the Thunder once again "out work and out effort" the team. Aside from Paul Geroge, that entire team RUNS on offensive rebounds and second chance points. No other way around it. Win the rebound battle, win the game.

    Thunder catching another break 2nd year in a row without Chris Paul. If Thunder win I'm gonna dread going on Twitter. The responses to the post on the Rockets Twitter page will be toxic and the narratives will be worse.

    Rockets caught the Thunder without Westbrook and promptly lost which was infuriating. That was also Melo's last game as a Rocket.

    OKC leads NBA in OREB% and STL, we have to take care the boards and the ball.

    The biggest test for Capela. His nemesis Adams. I expect Harden's focus to be good, but he will need help from Gordon and even Rivers, if he is cleared to play. Go Rockets!

    Rivers is a go for OKC.

    If Austin Rivers leads us to a victory, I won't make fun of him anymore.

    I think the Brooklyn game was when people were all over him.

    If it’s any consolation, this will be the 4th year in a row they lead the league for OREB%, and it has done nothing to help their offensive efficiency ... which has sucked since Durant left, and is 19th again this year.

    Despite PG13’s year, OKC’s offense is worse than last year by a big margin ... it’s their defense that has improved.

    Are you talking about their offense or defense. ;)

    Get the ball out of PG13's hands and bait Westbrook into hero ball should be an easy win.
