We're creating opportunities but not converting enough of them. On top of that, Houston will probably pick things up in the second half.

This. We're getting some shots that we can make but we're not converting them. We have also had a number of very good defensive plays that just ended up rolling to Houston's hands.

Oh yeah they've been right at the rim with numbers 4-5 times in the 1st half.

At this point, I'm not sure if this is the Magic playing with urgency or OKC floundering even worse than the Magic were. I guess that it's both.

Rockets literally never missed a 3 while I was watching the gamecast.

I'm sorry.

Rockets shooting almost twice the percentage from deep that we are.

This game was mostly about us just not converting on shots and fastbreaks. I thought our defense, save for a few lapses, was for the most part okay.

Sweet loss 8-)

Capela is such an awesome player. Good rebounder too.

I wasn't able to catch this game, but I'm glad to hear we hung on for longer than I thought we would. The Rockets are just on another level than we are at the moment. There's no real shame in that.

Thought our D was pretty salty. They are on heck of a tough cover. Harden/Capella P&R with shooters spread on the floor. They are fun to watch. In fact, they are my favorite team to watch. One to the next one for the Blue & Gold.
