    He’s a rim running center who rebounds. What is it about our system that he can only fit here? His defense was really, really bad. And there might have been some attitude problems Iko has hinted at a couple of time’s

    Hope i-Hart lets them fly from downtown.
    He starts draining those and the floodgates open!

    capela and harden and all other rockets are often trash on defense so he was an excellent fit... and nobody signed melo for a year and when they finally signed him he kicked rockets asses

    He is an undersized rim running center. There are only a handful of rim running centers in the league and the state of NY has 3 of them. The league doesn't use rim running centers as much as you think. 75% of what Clint does in the system is roll to the basket and run as fast has he can end to end.

    Also Faried was mad because MDA didn't play him in the playoffs.

    Capela
    Hartenstein at the 4
    PJ at the 3
    Harden
    Westbrook

    now this is the lineup I wanna see with DANUEL house being trash. I would take him outta rotation and give Hartenstein his mins

    Did you read the tweet? It's 2 bigs.

    So obviously it's going to be Clemons and Rivers at the 4 and 5 all game. :D

    Dan Tony despises "bigs."
    Always has. And Morey never acquires anyone above 6'8" to play PF anyway (although I wish we had that now!)
    I'm already picturing the morose look on Mike's postgame-media-session face as he mutters bromides in response to why we got waxed.

    6'5 Tucker a big.....
    James Harden 6'5 a big

    Russ 6'3 big guard.....almost a big.

    Sefolosha can play 4 or 5......

    2 bigs...

    5 spot: Capela/ Harty
    4 spot: Tucker/ House

    Don't get excited. The only thing MDA is saying is that there won't be 10 minutes of PJ at C.

    "Around" 30 minutes.

    Compared to 10,000, 40 is "around" 30

    It's new man MDA usually plays Tucker at center and Clemons at PF.

    Dantoni's idea of two bigs is probably different than what most people think.

    Dwight Howard is a better player than Capela this season, even a blind man can see that.

    This game will further lower Capela's trade value - if there is actually anthing left.
