    This is stupid. The management got his permission to send him to D-League and now they're recalling him every couple of days... Let the man shake off that rust. What's the point of him playing for 5 minutes against Phoenix? If he's going to play at all...

    He'll play 6mins in first Qt. and in 4th if there will be 20+ point lead. Which is unrealistic this season.

    I think this is why he's heading back up, if Capela is good to go, they don't need him to alter his plans.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Capela doing some running after shootaround. Availability likely to depend on how he feels, but the young man can really move.</p>&mdash; Jonathan Feigen (@Jonathan_Feigen) <a href="https://twitter.com/Jonathan_Feigen/status/695318342458978304">February 4, 2016</a></blockquote>

    It's only like 400 miles from Bakersfield to Phoenix that's a super quick flight.

    This Vipers team is a joke. They don't start DMo. They don't pass it to DMo. They don't pass to anyone. Possessions last for 3 seconds. Guards keeps jacking 3s and not playing defense. And unlike Rockets, Vipers don't even pretend to play defense or run plays. I mean you'd think as a Rockets affiliate they'd do everything to help DMo, yet they do their stupid thing of trying to score 150 every game. No one develops on this team.

    Why is recalling these players to practice with the main club a sign of "this curse of ineptitude?" Also, who talks like this?

    Sounds like the Roxs are making every effort to integrate him as quickly as possible.
