I'm not suggesting that he's currently a top Big Man or anything; but the dude seems to fly under the radar. Is it because he is just in a system where he fits like a glove?

He's definitely underrated and a very important piece going forward (top 3 asset on the team imo). His offense if a largely product of the MDA system, but still he finishes well around the basket, plays excellent defense, and moves very well for a big man.

My Countryman with the move at the basket!

This is fun!

James Harden is good at basketball.

I think that one thing about Capela that we can all appreciate (but others may not notice) is just how much improvement he has shown each season. He seems to focus on his weaknesses and steadily improves.

This is a team and a system where a guy like this can thrive.

Just has a great attitude as well. The kid rarely complains on the court despite dealing with so much bs from the refs

Oh my God...was Harden just acknowledged as an unselfish superstar on the national stage???

That does not compute with the critics...

Bobby freaking Brown and Troy Williams are in during a playoff game?

Nice, Houston!

Game 2 won't be this easy, but hopefully this game is just a glimpse of who the true MVP is.

Is Ryan Anderson being punished? Why's he still out there? :lol:

Rockets took their best tonight, and took it up a notch after that!

There is a lot of basketball left in this series; but I'm thinking that anyone who was hoping for Westbrook to take it to Houston had a bit of a reality check tonight. Houston was just the better team across the beard.

I mean board.

Both are correct.

Spaceman missed some time. He's got to get used to this Earth atmosphere again.

Such a satisfying win, glad harden came back and balled after a bad first quarter

Beverly is quickly rising to one of my all time favorite rockets with mad max and of course...the chuckwagon

Did I just see back-to-back Westbrook worship commercials following that Rockets win? :nonono:
