    Capela has been getting worked lately. He's clearly outmuscled by guys like Kanter and Lopez. Cousins will be a handful. The team should be focused after almost choking against the Nets.

    He held his own last time they played.

    Oh, I remember. Capela had a great stretch where he was outplaying all his matchups, but he's been outclassed as of late. The west is full of good bigs, so he's going to have to be consistently good for us and learn how to defend the post.

    That's two former Rockets starting (Garrett Temple and Casspi), with Lawson off the bench.

    OK, I think I'm going to get some "Planned Rest" then too. I'll sit out this Game Thread, tonight. I developed a little carpel tunnel from all those DMo Threads in the past 10 days.

    No it just means Rockets become so powerful so why play anyway, why not take rest to increase chances of winning winnable games.

    Tomorrow is the first day when a bunch of players, including Cousins, can be traded.

    That would be some crazy ish if Cousins got traded to the Rockets. If he doesn't act like a b**** and understands this is Harden's team we can win a championship.

    What does the Dec 15th date for trading new Free Agency Signees from the Summer have to do with Cousins? Am I missing something.

    I think the point is, if there is a big trade for Cousins lined up, then it might have to wait until Dec 15th for one of the *other* players in the trade, so you'd hesitate to play him today.

    Well, I'm annoyed. This now looks like a waste of money.
