    Thread bump.

    I’ve noticed a lotttt of people bashing capela for having a horrible series against the Warriors..
    People want him traded for scraps...
    people think he’s not a top center..
    blah blah blah...

    I’m here to say Fck all the haterszz ... he’s a big part of how we play.. Develops by a huge margin every year. . Guy is a hard worker.
    We gonna need Clint to step it up another level this coming season...

    Keep it up big fella!!! We need you!

    He has been my favorite player for a few seasons now. I really hope he has a great season. He has improved every single year he has been on the Rockets.

    I was thrilled we didn’t trade Clint this off-season. I actually think he will flourish even more with Russ+James.

    He struggled against the dynasty of this decade because he can’t guard steph or Klay on PNR. Who can?

    I think he will have a huge year.

    I’d settle for a baby hook and a 15 footer from him.

    He did ok on the switches. His real problem is we Draymond who, essentially, bent him over all series long.

    Exactly. He is fine playing against everyone else. He'll be alright.

    Doesn’t mean he needs to get complacent though. A little post game would do wonders for us.

    Watching CC develop is like a Disney movie. Just a feel good story; young kid works hard and let’s his play on the court be his voice. I think his contract is fair, too. His limitations can be controlled by keeping him in winning situations—> good coaching. He is more athletic than most people think. Is his label a “super role player”? If he is not than he is closer than most.

    different kind of players. you don't need to get the most stats to be out played. Capela is usually to quick and nimble for Jokic to keep up with him

    I get that he had a good matchup against him but folks here are really wrong saying he dominated someone whose game cannot be shutdown 100%, the playmaking can't be really shutdown. He also gets his 17-24 points.

    The Nuggets dun have an absolute Superstar like Harden and Rockets do play well against them overall.

    They just have to wait till Harden and WB regress.
