    The rest of the NBA is constantly talking about how amazing his hands are meanwhile we have a Rockets fan here talking about how terrible his hands are lol

    Capela is not soft, he is just playing soft tonight. It's been a bad game for him against the likely Defensive Player of the Year. What in the F do you want from him??

    I am telling you.....

    Capela is drunk this game.

    Just look at his red eyes.

    He went partying in Salt Lake City mountains thinking its Swiss Alps.

    Hakeem sitting in the crowd is harder than Clint. I see he is missing free throws, that bonus he was supposed to get was for the regular season, just chucking up free throws with no effort no heart.

    The rest of the NBA don't live here and watch every single game.
    Capela is inconsistent with his ball handling and notorious for weak hands.
    How many times has he passed up a clear shot at a dunk for a bad lay-up attempt?

    You are 100% wrong. He is not notorious for that. He is notorious for having great hands, and he has shown it for years. He has bad games, because he's not a superstar and especially against top defenders. You are making a really empty argument. Most Rockets and non-Rockets fans know it.

    And as you are posting your opinions, his softness is costing us points in the game. Right now.
    SOFT.

    If he's going to be a part of this team, I would REQUIRE him to stay in town over the summer and weight train, bulk-up, get strong, and develop SOME kind of post up game/move/whatever.
    If you don't see his inconsistency with ball-handling and shying away from the physical challenge in the paint, you just don't want to see it. We're all fans, so I get it.
    But I can't ignore what I see.

    Harden had a crappy game 3 - i mean who the heck shoots 3/20 in a game??? We should trade him immediately for Mr. Triple Double. He shoots 5/20 in games and gets triple doubles. :rolleyes:

    Attempting an analogy which compares James Harden to Clint Capela is where you lost your high-ground. heh ;)

    If Capela is sick, he should've rested this game so he can be 100% next game. Now he's probably going to play sick again next game and if we drop game 5, this series is going to 7 games.

    He will be ok in G5. But yes, he’s soft.

    I hate it when Capella makes all these gestures and acts so tough whenever he makes a dunk but can just be bullied and taken out of his game like tonight.

    Capela is soft physically and mentally. He can be so frustrating. Sick or not, he's had p***y games before where he wasn't much of a presence.
