    Yeah, he was SOFT for much of the game, but things turned around in that stretch you mentioned. He played TOUGH. He was TOUGH in Game 1 when the Rockets bullied OKC and won the rebound battle.

    So, do we get the TOUGH Capela that rebounds, blocks shots, is a defensive presence in the lane and finishes strong on layups? OR do we get the SOFT Capela that gets pushed around and misses bunny shots.

    TOUGH Capela, please!

    I think consistency will come with more experience. I agree he should play like that all the time, but at the very least he rose to the occasion at that moment -- we would have been in a precarious situation down by double digits.

    I hope Harden has seen the unofficial MVP results in case he needed a fire lit in him.

    Win tonight and the series is over. I've never wanted a team to get swept as much as this OKC team.

    An MVP getting swept in the 1st round would be soooo embarrassing. The media would look like complete fools for putting stat chasing over winning.

    Nah, Westbrook is working very hard to ice out his teammates so the media will continue with the narrative that he has no help.

    As much as i hate to admit it , it would be far nicer to sweep OKC and expose this clueless media consipiracy that somehow RW had a better season then harden.
    If the league MVP cant win one game in the playoffs LOL ...man would that be something

    I hope to watch more highlights of Harden Iso against bigs/Singler.

    Didn't realize this until watching highlights of game 2. Harden dropped Singler on a crossover and got stuffed at the rim.

    Singler literally bear crawled the opposite direction....Jesus.
