    when i watch the nuggets i still cant figure out how they are one of the best defensive teams. milsap is a good defender, but jokic is slow, barton is not a good defender, and the guards are small. i just dont see why teams find it hard to score on them. the rockets usually don't have that problem though.

    Hopefully the Rockets do no worse than split the next two games.

    Lelz, what is wrong with fat players playing?

    Baseball never had problems.

    It's a real thing here in Denver.

    Harden will not score too many points I don’t think. Denver is going to double him from the get go. That’s their strategy going in. Let someone else beat them. It’s on his teammates to score buckets.

    We are 10-1 against Denver when Capela became a full time starter. The one loss being last year which Capela missed. Capela is 9-0 against Jokic in H2H matches. They have no answer for the Harden to Capela PNR.

    Capela needs to outrun Jokic on the break every time down the court. Jokic is slow as molasses this year. Involve him in the pick and roll too. The harder we make him work defensively, the less he'll have to use against us offensively.

    they have no chance regardless...capela is going to run jokic to death....and now that we have wesbrook, its even worse for him.

    Yep, they love to trap Harden.

    And here's how well that works with Jokic ... Nov 13th, 2018

    Jokic (0-10) has still never beaten the Rockets as a starter -- except the one game Capela was hurt, and he feasted on his old teammate Faried.

    I was there like 5 rows behind the other basket. It was so beautiful! I will always remember that posterior pounding!
