    Love to see he's probably working on his range, i don't really know if/when it will happen, but if he would be able to become a respectable outside shooter that would be absolutely huge for us.

    The alley oops are a respectable trade off for lack of three.

    The key thing is capaela's buckets out of that short box formation which is like a quarter back who can score off of a boot leg play!

    Capela showing us that he has absolutely no potential to be able to hit a midrange shot on an NBA level like old man Nene. I suspected as such but.....you hate to see it!

    The problem isn't that he missing them, the problem is he thinks he can make them and is shooting them. Like those off season reports you'd here every summer of Dwight putting hours into his 3 point shot. SMH. At least he's experimenting in FIBA and not against the Warriors.

    wow his form is terrible. if he at least had a fluid motion there would be hope he could get there. this is a wrap folks. he wasnt meant to shoot.

    He looks like he learned to shoot from Anthony Masons free throw shooting form. It’s so hard to believe these guys have the absolute best shooting coaches at their disposal and they get paid millions to play, but this is the best they can do.

    I don't expect Capela and Westbrook shoot beyond 10 feet in high efficiency.
    It is not about training staff, its about talent.

    I don't expect MDA to win Championship this year.
    Its not about talent, its about defensive strategy. (top tier defensive strategy? NO)

    His mechanics are the most worrying part. That shot release is as slow as a new bottle of Heinz ketchup!

    Oh, so horrible that he is trying to expand his game and not initially .looking too good at it. Hopeless. Loser. Waste of time. Doesn't have a good looking shot , so why try? After all he has a long history of never improving his game at all, even though he is a hard worker. Not one bit of change in the last three years. Too old. Too weak. Too short. Too mentally weak. Too low of a bb IQ. All is bleak. Rockets are doomed. What other team can I follow? Woe is us.

    Imagine making 100M dollars to play basketball and that’s how you shoot 5 feet away from the hole. I think Clint is worth the money for what he does do well but good lord, there are peewees who could smoke him in a shooting contest

    if Toronto can win then anybody has a shot. I mean they won with Gasol at center. That said. Capeala is way more skilled than Gasol.
