NBA Rising Stars - Clint Capela

That boy has handles.

 

Why can't he look that competent in a Rockets uniform?!

 

They better not trade him and let Dwight walk in the summer. I wonder if they think they have a better shot at Whiteside this summer (for less than the max). I think you have to hang onto Clint either way unless there's a deal you absolutely can't pass up.

 

Harden & Capela handshake. lol

They do not play much Defense at the Allstar Weekend but turn up the heat during regular games and in the playoffs.

 

love that. absolutely love that.

 

ahahaha that handshake was amazing!

I hope this helps with Capela's confidence especially if after next week he's left to be the starting C.

 

He's had the most experience playing around guys that play no defense...

 

The real answer is they would just foul him in a real game.

 

This season Capela is giving his opponents too much respect.

Last year he came off the bench at the end of the year and no one knew who he was so he was fearless.

It's like when you start playing against really good people and you don't play your game because you think they will snuff it out. But as time progresses you realize you can actually play at that level and start to pull out the tricks again.


TLDR Clint will get his mojo back. Being at all-star weekend definitely will help him.

 

Pretty much explained what kind of things that the Rockets spent time on their practice.

 

are people seriously asking why Capela doesn't handle the ball and does spin moves in real games?
Seriously? Not even a need to foul him, they would have stolen the ball off of him in about 2 seconds. If actually defence was played.

 

There's no way of knowing that they would steal it but at the very least he definitely would be fouled.

 

Lmao knew this comment was going to be here

 

this is what happens when players don't play proper d.

 

Ironically, Clint was one of the only ones in that RS game who actually was playing some d lol

 

When he shot those threes in the game? I was like wtf. Can't even make free throws. lol

 

All swag and dance off the court, then all scared on the court
