    Seeing Nene very active and powerful on dunking makes me wonder why Capela isn't as powerful as that in the paint.

    One thing is certain you can have the best offense but if you play D like the Rockets currently are you won't go far.

    Can't rebound or defend. There should be no excuses for giving up 70 to the OKC Thunder.

    The team effort we saw rebounding wise from game 1 is no where to be found tonight.

    james needs to show up..if you're not going to be consistent/careful on offense, at least give some effort on defense...

    We REFUSE to play any defense...it's unreal.Adams going up and over Nene for rebounds.Rebounds are "want to"...we don't "want to" right now.

    That requires playing defense and getting rebounds.

    It's really not James that's the problem offensively, they are playing him differently tonight, guys are going to have to hit shots. End of story.
