Great job by Harden to contest and tip away that offensive rebound from Bogut.

On the other end, nobody helps the helper and Dwight Howard gets an uncontested offensive rebound and putback.

Houston showing more effort plays than GSW early on.

I wonder if Speights should be playing ahead of David Lee.

Lee was still struggling physically after injury in previous round.

Edit: Houston on a 7-0 run since David Lee came in. Houston getting layups.

Nevermind. Apparently Speights is out with an injury anyway. In that case, I like playing Lee against Capela. Try to create an advantage against the limited Capela with a highly skilled PF/C in David Lee. Not working so far but I like the attempt.

Yeah. but the fact that David Lee sucks at defense should be noted here.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

Capela is making some nice plays there.

My guess is that he has a bruised knee.

How about Capela as future Celtics starting center?

Trade the #16 for him? The #16 and #28?

What about Marcus Smart?  ;)

Is Iguodala vs Corey Brewer an even matchup?

Similar caliber scorers. Useful but unexceptional outside shooters. Score a lot in transition. Good cutters. Can drive some. Both guys strong defenders. Iggy the better man defender but Corey Brewer arguably the more effective team defender nowadays. Both offering similar rebounding numbers on the season. Iggy a superior ball-handler and playmaker but doesn't get that many opportunities to take advantage of that in a powerful Warriors offense.

Do those two negate one another?

Or does Iggy step up and do a job defensively on James Harden?

It seems to me their on-court value is pretty similar when defending each other. Or now similar between Ariza and Iggy defending one another.

I love watching Livingston posting up smaller guards. Prigioni is not even that small. He has great size for a PG. Livingston is just so big and so skilled dribbling into post up situations.

Great job by Josh Smith forcing the switch and getting Barnes stuck on Dwight. Nice pass, good finish. Two points. Heady play from Josh Smith.

I think Ezeli will do a good job on Dwight Howard. He has done well against Dwight in the past. Ezeli enjoys physical play down in the paint.

Warriors transition defense has been poor in first half. Gambling for steals in transition. Big men not getting back quickly enough. Out-numbered on too many occasions.

Great block by Josh Smith. I love seeing him do well again.

I do not like GSW going small here while Dwight Howard is on the floor.

Dwight should feast against this weak Warriors interior.

Edit: Wow, go away for 3 minutes and Golden State go on a huge run. Tie the game.

Wow, went from a blowout lead to a tie game just like that. Houston getting exposed.

Capela couldn't have defended Curry any better than that.

Great defense, better offense by Steph Curry.
