    Clint Capela reportedly made over 2,500 free throws per week during the summer.

    This is an encouraging report considering he hit just 37.9 percent of his free throws last season. While coach Mike D'Antoni isn't going to hand the starting job to Capela, he's the heavy favorite to start on opening night. Nene can't handle a big workload, so Capela could potentially play close to 30 minutes per night. He's a sleeper at the center spot for owners targeting boards and blocks.


    Capela to shoot more than 55 percent from the free throw line

    Going way out on a limb here...

    Harden will be a leader on defense.

    Dmo wins the starting center role and finishes the season as our second leading scorer.

    This is nothing to write home about. I usually make 1000 FT's per week and I am not even a basketball player. I do it just for fun and recreation. I now know why he is a bad FT shooter.

    I predict much hate from New Orleans aimed at Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon for playing healthy for the vast majority of the season. The Rockets end the season with 56 wins and another Southwest Division Title.

    I remember reading that Steve Novak would make 2000 3's EVERY DAY. I can believe it tbh.

    Harden wins the scoring title this year. I could go crazier, but I really think he could do it this year. Not sure where the team will be though, I want to see some preseason games to see what MDA is going to do with this team.

    Les will grow tired (or bored) of this hamster wheel, sell the team to a group of Chinese investors led by Yao Ming and retire to his vineyard. Sura will fall in faint.

    Bump.
    I know it's only about a month in and on the back of the GSW win but is it a stretch at this stage of the season:
    * Capella most improved player
    * Gordon 6th MOTY
    * MDA coach of the year
    * Beard MVP

    This is not 'we'll win the championship' statement on the back of last night either. Just on the state of our players/coaches Vs last year.

    Fun reading some of these bold predictions. Many of them aren't so bold now.

    Rockets make a mid-season trade and win the West.

    Winning the West happens regardless of trade, but trade is coming.

    Lols. Some of these predictions were a little wild, BUT
    60 win season -- on pace
    EG 6th man -- on pace
    Harden MVP -- Looking good
    Defense not suck azz -- check
    Clint averaging double double - very likely
    Harrel playing big minutes including down the stretch - check

    Good calls fellas. Be bolder next time.

    And Bahwwwwwa @

    MDA mad at Harden for TOVs and designate another ball handler
    Media shames Harden for his selfish plays

    What were you smoking??
