    The Rockets have one star and some pretty good role players.

    Does James Harden have the best step back jumper in the league ?

    offensively, we are.

    actually, dmo can create for himself.

    besides that our team is a bunch of stop up shooters and put-back/dunking bigs who can't score consistently any other way.

    Capela is not very good right now. But I do like his quickness on D. He's really skilled at staying in front of the offensive player and not swiping at the ball. There's definitely potential there.

    At what point does Capella transition from being nervous to being terrible?

    He'd easily average more assists than Curry who has Klay as his running mate.

    That's why I hate the whole argument of MVPs "make their teammates better". James consistently puts his shooters in a position to succeed, it's not his fault they're inconsistent in making them.

    la's a big population so they need more brickhouses. now that ariza gave them one he can stop and make sure none of their wings has a strong 2nd half

    it should bein the gameplan to make dmo the default 2nd option when dwight isnt there or cant be the 2nd toption. he already proved he has a good post game, give him the ball! maybe 5 times i've said this in this thread

    you are worried ? there is NO KOBE on that team.

    I would worry if the Rockets had to play UCLA instead of the Lakers

    the lakers aren't trying to win, man.

    plus the rockets haven't even been taking this game seriously. james has been passing off almost every drive, and they've been going to capela... if they really tried to run up the score they would win by 40.

    Riiiiight.

    Because a guy who takes up 23mil of our cap space and doesn't give a ***** 80% of the game he plays...

    Can be compared to a 20 year old foreigner in one of his first few NBA games and hasn't got rid of the jitters yet.

    Riiiiiiiiiight.

    Rockets are lucky it's the Lakers. Very sloppy but Harden more than makes up for it.

    Can Harden please have 40+ FGs tonight? Might as well give the fans something.

    Get our lead to 25 by the end of the third and play the bench.

    If they were playing a real team, they wouldn't be messing around like this. Harden would be attacking the basket more. Capela wouldn't be in the game. Shoot, even Dwight might've given it a go on that bum ankle.

    The Rockets are just toying with a bad team right now. It's like the Knick game.
