    Capela's gonna be a heck of a player. Already making major strides.

    Funny, you wouldn't have to say "no homerism" if you asked about Dekker. Sure he's raw, and yes the Mavs' starters were all down at Treasures instead of on the hardwood, but Dekker was much better this game than last.

    People acting like he should walk on water by now.

    T-Jones should've requested to play along Harden and Bev since he was one of our worst players against the Grizzlies

    Very happy for Capela. He's going to get plenty of chance to play PnR with Harden and Lawson staggering their playing minutes.

    I don't see much problem with the depth at 5 even with Howard resting during the season as DMo can also spent some of his minutes at the position.

    This is a great team to watch.

    This team is deep AF, y'all.

    Lots to like tonight, but I think I was happiest for Dekker. His jumper is broken, but he still worked his butt off and found ways to score, which I appreciate. Kind of awesome watching his confidence grow bit by bit... after being almost terrified to shoot through ~6 quarters, I noticed he started proactively calling for the ball after the first time he scored tonight.

    Probably that's why Harden played tonight.

    I wasn't able to watch the game, so when I came on here after looking at the box score, I was expecting people to be raving about KJ (13p/7r/5a/2b/2s).
    However, a lot of people are saying Thornton and Dekker played better tonight. Can somebody who watched the game explain why KJ didn't impress more?

    And who is that Chris Walker? Absolutely awesome block. 4 points a few rebounds and 2 blocks in 8 minutes

    After seeing how incredibly well Capella looked tonight, I went ahead and put $250 down on the Rockets to win the NBA finals tonight for a cool $4,500 payout if they win it all.

    My ONLY real concern coming into the year was at center...whether Dwight could stay healthy OR if he plays limited minutes how we would fare. But no longer. He's (Capella) made GIANT strides in his play. I'm shocked this is the same kid you 365 days ago looked afraid of his own shadow.

    It is not that KJ did not impress, he had a heck of a slam. It is just that there are so many stories on the court with Capela, Dekker, Thornton etc etc etc.

    We are so freaking deep that there will be a new focal point every. I absolutely love KJ and expect a lot from him. He was a steal for Cannan or whatever we gave for him.

    Seriously. Clint looked about two seconds away from hyperventilation right up until the playoffs. Cool to see his confidence blossom.

    It's hard to think of a potential lineup that DOESN'T sound awesome with this team. I mean...how crazy can you get?

    Lawson/Bev/Brewer/KJ/Capela?
    Bev/Harden/Ariza/Capela/Dwight?
    Harden/Brewer/Ariza/KJ/Jones?

    This team is too deep
