    Last night was a great example of what i am explaining to you guys. Ive been watching basketball my whole life. Wizards took away the three point line just like teams will do come playoff time. But guess who played the biggest role in the paint to help us... Nene. That's what will happen come playoff time. Playoffs teams take away the top 2-3 things your great at then you gotta have experienced players like Nene to step up in the areas of the floor teams think your weak at to again open up the areas of the court your strong at. Nene will be a big factor come playoff time mark my words.

    Its just that simple, nene sits rockets lose.
    He the man, experience class and a blur.
    Capela lacks experience. Tres super undersized
    I hope he stays healthy or the rockets are doomed barring signing a big man .... for the playoffs

    We knew games like last night were coming. Nene will be a big help. Glad we have been playing him smart.

    I think the league should have a serious discussion with the Rockets on why they sat Nene. I mean fans paid good money to see him play (probably waited all year for it) and the one time they finally make it to the arena they find out it's a sham.

    Nene's big and can play really good D SOME nights, but I don't think we would have helped much tonight, Davis was the problem and Nene can't guard him. We had to double him every time and their guards were hitting when he passed out, Beverley was ****ing scrambling all over the places trying to keep things in check.

    Anderson is such a **** defender we had to put him on Hill and Harden had to guard Davis. Harden did a tremendous job considering he was guarding a ****ing 6'11 super lanky athletic superstar big man, but it was still a miss match which lead to the doubling that killed us. Between that and Anderson getting burnt hard by whoever he was guarding every time, our defense was continuously broke down all game.

    Now if Cousins was playing Nene would have helped, but not tonight.

    Nene is better than Harrel for defence and rebounds. Nene plus capela must play all playoffs match.
