Capela is in his 2nd year. The dude is barely old enough to legally have a drink. Mark my words, in 4-6 years, he's going to be a top 5 center in the NBA along with Cousins, Okafor, Towns and Drummond. Book it.
Morey was on 790 this morning but I clambered into my truck about three minutes too late to catch it. I bump this thread in hopes that J.R. the human computer can put the conversation in here, but I'll give it a listen and see what's what.
Yeah... I wonder when we start getting the swarmy twitter comments? My guess is when/if the Rockets get on pace for 50 wins.

If any of our bigs outside of Dwight are getting over 30 minutes, it's been probably because they had a good game. Congrats on the new show guys. -(Do you like TJ off the bench or back as a starter?) That's up to Coach Bickerstaff. We've done well either way. ... I don't think we can go wrong there, thankfully. -(Dwight's recent play) He's been really great. A lot of it is his teammates really looking for him. ... James & others have found him. When he's involved on both ends, he plays much more free and with a bounce in his step that I think matters. -(Defensively, the effort, the 50/50 balls, effort always wasn't where it needed to be. That was lacking in the early part of the season. Some of that is turning around a bit) I'd unfortunately agree with that. Bottom line, for whatever reason, and I put responsibility on myself as well, the team thought coming off last year it would just be an easier road. We know now...Unless we play with a lot of intensity and energy on defense, that what triggers our offense & transition. We're just an average team...(temporarily cuts out)...we're back to bringing that high level of energy & intensity on defense and having that trigger our offense. We're not a good half court team. James carries us in the halfcourt and that can only take you so far. Brewer is back to the guy we acquired last year, bringing energy and triggering a lot of turnaround plays. -(Western Conference) Top half with Spurs & Golden State have ran off and hid. OKC & LAC, we'd like to climb into that tier and get in contention for homecourt in the first round. That's a big factor in whether you have a real shot in the playoffs. -(Dwight's minute count - happy there or fluid situation? Full steam ahead?) Doctors have been confident on his health situation. When he went those longer minutes, he didn't have issues with his body. We don't want to consistently be there but he has a lot of games under 30 minutes. Having one 40 minute outing, he's only had one or two and without negative impacts. Doctors think that'll be fine. -(35 last night after that back to back) And played really well. Earlier on in the season, physically it was affecting him more than usual. He's rounded into form. Last year, he peaked in the playoffs. We'd like to get something similar again. -(D-Mo update?) It's come down to pain at this point. Nothing wrong structurally or physically. It's a pain management thing. Sooner rather than later. -(Capela/Howard combo, best thing you like and one thing you'd like to see develop?) I really like, that group has to defend well and win the battle of the boards and so far they have. Teams are playing smaller at the 4. With Clint at 4/5, we dominate up front defensively and on the boards. It hurts with spacing and offensively but the defensive advantage and on the boards more than compensates for that. -(Gone to work if you won the powerball?) I would have gone. That's one of the advantages of having the job I have. I might try to go to Mr. Alexander to buy the team. He'd probably tell me it's not enough money. I think teams are going for $2B. Need a couple powerballs for that one.
Do these guys prepare their questions and funny how Morey always gets defensive and now they try to be nice and he says no..
He also said the key for us is to play harder. This is the same team as last year when the effort is there.
Morey says TJones has been huge in our win streak? Weird. The #AgendCrew said he should stop playing basketball.
Morey is usually high on all our people. Nothing wrong with giving credit to Jones, he has been playing great.
When the team is struggling, do you want your GM on a radio show or busting his ass trying to find a solution to our problems? C'mon people.
