    Give the kid some time. He has a great frame, great hustle. In time he will be a monster, but for now he is just a:

    Overall tho, he’s learning and he’s helping us. Yeah he’s had some bad plays sometimes, but that’s how you develop and grow! He could be something good for us.

    According to the internet, Capela is also religious.

    "The Capela (English: Chapel of Bones) is one of the best known monuments in Évora, Portugal. It is a small interior chapel located next to the entrance of the Church of St. Francis. The Chapel gets its name because the interior walls are covered and decorated with human skulls and bones.


    The Capela was built in the 16th century by a Franciscan monk who, in the Counter-Reformation spirit of that era, wanted to prod his fellow brothers into contemplation and transmit the message of life being transitory, a very common spirituality theme summed up in the motto memento mori."

    He's been very, very bad but he plays hard and I get the feeling that he's doing well in practice and it just hasn't translated on the court yet. It will take some time but I can see that he may have some potential.

    What I don't get is why we cut Bruno, I'd rather play him. He's a lob threat and can shoot 3s. I'd rather have him than Nene's corpse.

    It is crazy, I didn't see much dry humping from from behind but instead someone who knew where to be and had the timing down.

    He's seven foot tall, knows where to be on the floor, and plays hard. The fact that he has the best plus minus on the team tells you everything you need to know about how "terrible" he is.

    MCW is trash, Melo is hyped trash with an ego. He's a perfectly adequate big man for 10-15 minutes a game to give guys a breather.

    He needs time.
    Time for the game to slow down for him
    He shows flashes
    but
    He has weak hands
    He just really needs to work on STRENGTH and some quickness

    Obviously. We tried to get chandler and he said no.

    Pick of the free agents! Buyout market!

    You are right. Pick of the buyout market!

    Tyson Chandler: Came down to Lakers or Warriors.

    Welcome to February! ;)

    Rockets apparently didn't have the need or room for Tyson. As @KlutchQT said, hopefully the Rockets don't believe that because that's funny!

    Rockets hoarding centers who can't play.

    Hartenstein is playing because Melo doesn't want to. Let's hope that changes.
