    Man i remember he was on his way to being a great 2 way player before those freak injuries. Didnt he blow out both his knees in one play against CHA a few years back? That video was really hard to watch

    Hoping Dwight will be ready for Thursday. IF he is not confident on his knee then Capela should start with Dorsey backing him up.

    IF Dwight can't go you will need a backup for Capela and Dorsey will need to be ready no matter what.

    Me too Sizzle. He is one fragile guy...I'll say that. If we were relying on him to make the playoffs this year, we would be totally frigged. We can and HAVE won without Dwight.

    Capela needs to start next game. Give Brewer more minutes too.

    I'm confident in the rockets winning the series........if Dwight is healthy. Rockets would have won tonight.

    Dwight getting hurt just ruins everything. It will be very difficult to win game 2 due to dwights injury.

    what is the love fest with the warriors and ESPN? I mean they aren't the Lakers or the Knicks or the Bulls..its the warriors. they sucked for their entire existence practically..this is their first good year practically since the days of playing basketball using peach baskets and jump balls to determine possession after every score!!!

    They are loving on this team as if they KNEW they were great or something all along...I don't get it. No history with this team. Bunch of floppers = next great thing.

    ESPN ON The Rockets? "Oh, Dwight Howard didn't show up..he needs to play better"...yeah NO SH** HE WAS INJURED

    Capella went from a DLeaguer to a starter and future allstar in just one game. That escalated quick. :grin:

    I know Dwight was hurt in the second quarter, but what has happened to our PF to C or PG to C alley opps? We aren't even really running it with Smith and/or Capella. I don't think teams can really stop it when we start with James and Smith in the PnR, and then have Capella or Dwight in the paint. Josh should either have a 5 ft bucket, or an alley opp to Dwight or Capella. SO WHAT IS GOING ON?

    Harden fought hard and had a good game. This was the most positive thing that came out of the game. This gives me hope for our future, along with Capela's development.

    We are only a couple of players away from becoming a NBA Championship team, provided if we can regain full health.

    ESPN targets the average fan and the average fan loves watching Curry

    He more than held his own today. Plus it's not looking good for Dwight. Who would you replace him with in the starting lineup?

    man, sounds like you're giving in already.
