    Capela is just one small chess piece and the grander picture depends on this season and next season's postseason success.

    I am thinking very clearly now.

    The Big 3 Les, Morey and McHale have to be held accountable for results.

    I cannot describe the feeling but I am just not feeling very confident, most of the time I feel something will go down.

    Those 3 are holding each other back in a way..... just a hunch and my opinion

    Lol, **** was funny with him doing those old man moves. I do agree that Capela should be in the gym practicing free throws and ready to guard Aldridge. TJones and Smith have no chance but I really liked how we played them the last time by doubling early and making him force quick shots.

    Capela, Dorsey, Smith, and Howard should be shooting 500 free throws a day.

    I'd shoot 1000 a day if I was being paid to play basketball in the NBA.

    I feel like so many players take it for granted.

    Have to play him, you could kill the Jazz and play-off teams with his length on the pick and roll and able to catch lobs. You can't **** with Dorsey.

    The more capela plays, the more confident he'll get with the offense/defense... the more he'll feel comfy playin with Harden... Capela is a kid, feed him, he will learn and grow beyond your imagination.

    Capela is hungry for that swiss cheese. Give him the opportunity to play big minutes. Watch him go ape **** and literally become at least a Deandre Jordan right now. After the off season... he will become something more.

    Capela already impacts the game more so than Dorsey already in his early career.

    Hey maybe he could really be the next Hakeem. I remember when Hakeem came out of nowhere after not getting much playing time to getting more at the end of the season and then went nuts in the NCAA as a surprise rebounding and shot blocking phenom.

    Feed Capella!

    I like it. I love how he jumps quick as soon as he gets the ball. Dwight used to do this but Dwight needs to bend down and gather himself like all the other stiffs do. It whats makes Roy Hibbert almost useless as an offensive weapon because he takes forever to get the ball up.

    The kids has a solid base of shot blocking, and diving hard after setting picks to build on. Its going to be hard to figure out how to use him next to Dwight, I don't know if its more useful for his development to practice a corner three or to develop a post game. He looks lost doing anything other than rolling hard to the basket. I honestly think he's further along becoming a decent shooter (look at his free throw form, he actually bends his knees as a big man!) than being anything useful in the post. I could be wrong though.

    I am excited about his potential though. The kid is 19 years old.

    0%... he is 100% playing tonight. I'm willing to bet on it.

    Exactly.. you just don't know. He could blossom and surprise us and the entire league.

    Watch out Deandre Jordan.. the Swiss is coming after your throne.

    So when Gobert/Booker/Favors destory the offensive glass when Dorsey is out there, he may try Clint.

    Looks like CC has officially passed up Dorsey in the rotation! Didnt have his best game, but good to see him getting meaningful minutes in a do-or-die game.. Contributed a couple nice blocks!

    Other than the foul trouble Clint looked very confident out there. He changes shots.
