    You're not wrong. Cap had been out of the highlights for the most part by the Warriors series, but Green was so occupied by Cap that he was ineffective at doing his 'guard-the-whole-court' thing. Clint definitely helped us get to a 3-2 lead and he would have pushed us to the finals had CP stayed healthy. I mean the kid was going 10 and 10 for that series and they focused their defense on him. He also scored 20 in game 7 which shows me he's got clutch in his blood. How on Earth would Mr. 5 and 4 Maker (when you round up) improve the team over Clint. You're just bullshitting here.

    I ain't against you. You know that, but I'm against this opinion that Clint Capela is trash. Dude is a highlight reel, he plays defense, he's becoming a great rebounder and he shows up when it counts. Time to move on. Maker is obviously weak. He's never going to turn into some highly coordinated KD type. He's not trash, but he's also no Clint Capela.





    Clint performed well enough to beat the Warriors. We just needed health on our side.

    Well the funny thing is at least Capela has highlights against the Warriors.

    Thong maker doesn't even have any highlights becausw he is just averaging 4.8 pts and 3 rebs for the Bucks.

    Holic should just admit that he was wrong and Capela turned out way better than Thing Maker.

    Why be forced to choose? In a few years maybe we can pick up Thong Maker to be Clint's backup for the minimum.

    Dude, you just said in your previous post that has been quoted here repeatedly 'show me those highlights, that's what it's all about'

    And now you get shown those highlights and you have literally gone 180 saying lowlights matter more.

    Contrary to your posts it isn't all about the Warriors. We had to get through the TWolves and Jazz who both have strong frontcourts. I don't think we would have beat those teams without Capela's lowlights against the Jazz.

    We all have our biases, it would certainly help your case to acknowledge it here.

    Out of the limited rhetorical strategies that you had left, you chose the best one. I will at least give you credit for that.

    NEH, no trade. Capela has too much value to the team and has already established the pick and roll. Capela has shown a drive to play hard and can hit free throws at a decent percentage.

    It’s wonderful how foolish and petty you look in here.

    @malakas should chime in on how bad this post looks now. From the sense I get Bucks fans and pretty low on Maker nowadays.

    The funny thing is Holic doesn't actually think Thon Maker is more valuable than Capela. He's just gotta stay on brand. Gotta stay stubborn. For what reason? I do not know.

    Don't need a reason to be stubborn, that's the root cause. Plus when you've argued something so vehemently I'm sure pride gets in the way as well.

    You put your Maker in,
    You take your Capela out.
    You put your Uthoff in,
    And you shake it all about.
    You do the Holic pokey
    And you condescend to everyone and refuse to admit when you're wrong...

    this is actually a pretty funny thread

    anyone taking Maker over Capela should be banned from talking basketball...Capela is better, more impactful, and more valuable

    Holic needs a new drug, because basketball ain't it.

    No one you have suggested trading for would break the rotation vs the warriors. And most would ride the bench during the regular season.

    Admit this was a dumb ass thread already

    For someone who thinks so highly of themselves, holic really has a shockingly bad grasp of knowledge surrounding the NBA.

    Shockingly bad grasp.

    Wait a minute... are you saying, "Capela should be developed as a super athletic, super long stretch 4 with a face up game" was a bad idea? :D

    That's just who 'holic is.

    Refresher: when Romney lost to Obama in 2012, he vowed to leave the board (this was after he had made a bet with @Zboy that if Obama won, he would stop posting here). When Obama won, ZBoy gave him a really decent out and proposed that if 'holic (then jopatmc) were to make a (decidedly modest) $25 donation to the tipjar, they could call the bet off. He then added:

    Guess which option our man chose?

    Dude just has a pathological need to save face.
