    When I see NeNe decide to go to rim he finishes well, not counting that inexplicable pass to Ariza last night. His usual confidence lowers my blood pressure during games so thank you NeNe for chilling me out. Great pickup.

    And like others have mentioned, NeNe's not a hothead but he don't take no **** neither. (sextuple negative!)

    Nene gives us what Capela doesn't. A bulkier big man who at least can deal with opposing bigs. Do you notice how well he moves without the ball to get some open slams?
    We'll really need him in the playoffs.

    Everything about NeNe has been about the playoffs.
    The taking back to backs off
    The conservation of his body

    there are no back to backs in the playoffs
    The ONE TWO punch of NeNe and Capela is good

    When he puts his head down and drives. . . . it's usually a dunk

    I always think nene is going brick a dunk when drives to the hoop, due to how high he jumps when dunking, but proves me wrong everytime.

    Like how he finishes vertically when the lane is open. Jam! Never soft even though he is a low flyer generally.

    Now that Capela is realizing that he is taller than everyone else and has longer arms. I'm feeling better about the one two punch of Capela and Nene.

    Nene was just great against the Grizzles. He still has got a lot of juice in him. Go Nene! Go Houston Rockets!

    He jumps surprisingly far horizontally. Noticed this last game.

    James Johnson of the Heat said he knows Nene does jiu jitsu in the offseason. Maybe there is some kind of correlation:eek:

    I don't know how many times this season where he took off for a slam/ally-oop and I thought to myself "no WAY does he finish this... he's too far away", yet, somehow he does - every single time! Loves me some Nene

    Really? That's cool. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a correlation. Nene kicks ass. What's surprised me is how limber he is for a big at 34. There's been a few times this season he's poked the ball away and started a break that way.

    Old dudes FTW.

    Love my guy getting his dues.

    He's gotten me through the worst.

    Anyway, I may not post as often as I'd like.

    Unfortunately, my Lymphoma trial was not successful. Back to the basics.

    Love you Clutchfans.

    Morey has been after this guy for years it seems. He tried to pair him up with Gasol a few years back but thankfully we got him on a bargin contract this season.

    Awww man can we just stick to given Nene his props. Let's leave the ex-Rocket out of the love thread.

    Solid game from Nene again last night. Love his tenacity and toughness he brings every time he steps on the floor.

    The only knock is his free throw shooting.
