    It's probably because Capela sprints up court often. Whereas Harden walks and sometimes jogs a bit. Lazy mofo

    Not surprised that he is gassed.... even at his young age. He is the only big, asked to do too much. On a nightly basis.

    Maybe you should try to be a goalie, and rest a little if it's not highly competitive where you have to play along.

    He had some talent but he used to play one good game, and then a score of anemic ones. He should have achieved more than that. Capela isn't like him at all, but he owes most of his success to Harden's passing.

    Lulz it's the only advantage that he had over Capela. Not the Rockets Samuel but the Philly one.

    I think he was about to decline when he signed here.

    Yes, I agree with you. I'm puzzled as to why he wasn't as successful as he should have been in Philly.

    James is not lazy. He isn't very athletic. He surveys the defense, before making a move, but he gets Capela involved frequently with his lobs to him. He was just in a zone against the Spurs, when everything was going in.

    That is how he maneuvers himself throughout a game, it takes a toll on his body driving to the hole and finishing.

    I dun know how long he can keep this up. His threes will keep on falling though, permanently till the end.

    I think James needed to come back in a big way, after suffering from the neck strain and the right hand injury. Our entire season hinges on his health. He doesn't need to go gung ho in every game. Capela, Faried can score in the front court, and Tucker can hit the corner three with the occasional post up.
    I don't think Gordon will change much, but Rivers has some scoring ability.
    He absolutely needs to attack the basket and start to taking jumpers from now onwards. Green knows his role. House will get going again soon with some good minutes.
    I hope Chris will take his game to another level in the playoffs. Not having a physical center is hurting us a lot. MDA needs to work the role players in.
    Harden is not selfish.

    Capela should of been in that gym with Harden after tonight's game. We need him to up his game in the playoffs.

    Props to Tucker for getting after it on the defensive end during clutch time.

    Thread was on pace to hit 70 pages until Harden went insane.

    haha....really. that's funny, and not surprising.

    If we could run advanced analytics on Game Threads, that would probably be hilariousl...time the pages to the actual PbP of the game. :D

    That somebody was me. Come on, Deb isn't that hard to remember. I said 4 1/2 minutes though" as a guess. All I know is that was the kind of ball that we live to watch. Yes, great come back with the best shooting rampage in a row I've seen in ages. Very fun to watch and well worth the time if you missed it. I'm one of James' toughest critics at times when he just takes a ton of 3's and is shooting terrible and others are on fire, because the hot shooters need to keep firing away. These last 2 games that hot behind the arc guy was James, and he was adding to it with some beautiful drives and steals. Now that's the James I love to watch!!

    Awesome ending to what was beginning to seem a heartbreaking loss!! If James stays hot from the 3 we can beat anyone, because we know Gordon, Tucker, Paul, and Clint are capable of better shooting. We need to win it all this year. Dethrone GSW, and give James the MVP and Championship all in the same year. Now that would be a great ending to a year we kept hearing "just tank for a lottery" by fans giving up early on our Rockets during the injuries. We can do this!!!

    I've considered doing a real-time text sentiment analysis of a game thread but doubt I'll ever put in the effort to do it.

    I would settle for James getting the MVP and getting a ring and Paul winning finals MVP because he has been saving himself for the playoffs.
