I don’t care what the haters say: the Rockets are fun to watch. They are a model of efficiency & planning.
This Pacers/Cavs game is just a chaotic, systemless mess. This is not fun to watch.

Anderson is a bit of a concern to me right now. I was hoping that he'd get his sea legs back under him in this series.

That was a big man block by Capela on Towns.

You could tell that Towns was not used to having a guy right there in his face like that.

We haven't seen too many of these cold spells this season. Not a good time to start now!

Great court awareness there by Chris Paul! It would have been easy to take that coast to coast shot, but he instead hits Nene for the easy bucket and free throw chance.
Good stuff so far!

That should have been a charge, or at least a no-call.

May need James to take over for a bit...at least until Gordon and/or Green can find the target.
This would be a great time to have Ryno available.

This Harden fellow is pretty good at basketball.
They should give him some kind of reward to go with the ring he's going to earn.
