Capela is really back? I hope he's not rushing back too soon, but it's good to see him active again.

I have missed the Swiss!

I hope that my ancestral countryman is not rushing back, either.

But it will be good to see him back!

When I looked over the schedule earlier this season I thought that I did not see any 4 games/5 nights; but I guess that I was wrong.

The Rockets schedule has been pretty intense in January.

It sucks that Anderson is out with the flu; but I don't know if I like the lineup of Ariza at 4 and Brewer at 3. I think that I'd rather see Montrezl at the 4.

Never mind - D'Antoni says he likes Ariza at the 4.

I'm not arguing with that guy. :lol:

Never been a big fan of his chips, though.

Overall pretty ugly half.

Not the best start to a tough stretch of games coming up, including the Warriors and the Grizz who always give us problems.

Capela doing well on the boards and defense. His touch around the rim isn't there but that'll come back

People complain about Harden drawing those fouls.

Everyone knows that it is coming. The opponents, the refs, the fans...and it happens every single time.

I believe that this is where the children state: "Haters gonna hate."
