    Exactly Clint is holding his own or better against an All Star center.

    Yeah I have also seen your favorite player Ricky Rubio get schooled by Harden. Yule C that again in the next round.

    KAT is a very good scorer and a pretty good rebounder. Although, he has defensive potential, he doesn't bring it. Gobert works hard, and is a fine defender/ rebounder with length. Scoring is a secondary option for him. Capela isn't as tall as Gobert, but he has improved against him. I think Clint can give him a tough time. Adams is another story all together. Clint can battle him on D for short periods, but he can't score or rebound against him. Physical/ big guys bother him a lot.

    IF we can finish off the Wolves
    and
    The Jazz finish off the Thunder

    This will be the battle ground.

    KAT is a poor defender which gives reason for Capela to stay on the floor offensively in PnR against him. KAT is nut adv extending physical player not does have have length, reach, stamina, athletic, and strength advantages on Capela like Adams and Gobert.

    I always though Bholic is rambling monkey by the way the forum treats him, but he might be on to something with his thoughts on ricky rubio, He was totally wrong about capela though.

    And you'll see Rubio schooling Harden too and making him look foolish. But you won't admit it.

    Capela doesn't have superstar potential. His ceiling is a borderline all-star.

    But, but, but...our resident insider "Yule C" said the Rockets would struggle to even make the playoffs with Clint Capela as our starting Center.

    Rubio has always been a good player with a bad shot. He had a hot streak for Utah this year which made them deadly. When his shot is broken he is limited but can still be a plus player with the ball to create for others.

    The argument here was always that he was a bad fit with harden

    I guess his floor is what he is already? A borderline all star that sometimes has bad games?

    Rubio will never be a part of a championship team that has any hopes of beating the Warriors.

    Daryl Morey knows this, the Warriors know, the Jazz know, hell even Ricky probably knows. The same goes for Rajon Rondo. The NBA has changed.

    That said, I LOVE watching Rondo and Rubio play 90's basketball in the modern era, but I was also a GIGANTIC fan of Andre Miller playing 70's basketball in the 00's.

    (Clint Capela on the other hand, has shoved his Swiss/Congolese weiner up all the doubter's collective asses)

    Sweet, sweet joy it brings to me watching these people back pedal, because their transition D is looking like Maurice Taylor.

    UHhh Capela is JAP - anyone like Dwayne Deadman, Chianauan Onaunaku, Jeff WIthey , Jared Uthoff can replace his production
