    Prigs
    Harden
    Brew
    Ariza
    Capela

    That's the lineup we need to end this game

    Capela looks good though. I mean, maybe the Rockets will fight harder and everyone will step up, if Howard is done.

    Only a 3 point game. What about Harden? 18 10 8 and 5. He's a beast on the boards - tipping balls, saving possessions, boxing out...

    i'm not even worried about dwight's injury.

    capela and dmo are our future at the 4 and 5.

    Man it sucks that the Rockets are getting beat up inside and Dwight is hobbled. If he needs to rest game 2, then do it, because the Rockets need him at full strength.

    Capela seems to be growing every single minute he is on the court!!

    The guy has serious finishing ability (prefers to throw down, but can finish with left or right hand and has soft touch).
    He is going to be a really solid defensive stopper over the coming years - will just close down the paint with his shot blocking.

    Yeah, I know. TJ's the weakest link right now. He's doing nothing and bringing the team down. Prigs-Harden-Ariza-Smith-Capela can win this game. Mix Brewer in there if he's actually found his layup touch now. Nobody else.

    If Harden's hustling for the ball, he'll be too tired to make shots later on. Jones needs to play his position so Harden doesn't have to.

    Forgive me, I know this is blasphemy, but even if Dwight's knee is OK, i want Capela in there right now. He is giving us more.

    Howard will be alright. Can't be playing another 20 min if he was really hurt.

    We got IN the playoffs without Dwight. Record is not much different with or without him. We can win without him IMO.

    D12's injury looks to be a bruise or knee contusion. I hope so, nothing broken or torn.

    We all should be concerned for Dwight, but enjoy watching Capela breakout.
