    I can't wait to see Clint back. He will have plenty of time to get back to shape with Harrell and Nene sharing minutes.

    Granted it is one game. But don't dismiss that that ONE game is due to a differential of 2 in the loss column. That puts Spurs in the driver seat. If it was 1 and 1 or they simply had two more wins that's different. But being 2 down in the loss column is a decent margin given they only have 9 losses.

    Im sure they are needing to showcase him for a trade for Rubio.

    I hope they rush him back and don't approach this from a long term perspective

    That puts his return right at 4 weeks. I really hope this is a wise choice considering the risk of re-injury. We need him for the long haul. Maybe just keep him away from KAT.

    2 in the loss column with 40 games to play?! We should have a 2-1 advantage over the Spurs already. We're better than them. Come on man...

    JJ Watt came back very quickly after back surgery. So, there you go.

    Holy crap, I meant on the team!! lol Sorry about that. He's not the best rebounder in the league.

    He is among the best per minute though.

    Capela coming back will help our rebounding,

    but he is a vastly worse choice on the offensive side than Nene and Harrell.

    He doesn't have those same abilities to finish around the rim, and of course, when he got fouled, it will only get worse. He needs to improve his skill set to score within 3 feet inside the paint.

    Forgotten his chemistry with Harden already? His rolls are deadly, and opens up the shooters.
