    I know there is one around here somewhere where this tweet belongs...maybe even more than one

    Capela just recorded the best all-around game against DJ ever.

    Did he ever accept his L last year for saying that we wouldn’t be a playoff team with Capela as our starting C?

    In the prophetic words of @SamFisher, until Capela can do this in Game 6 of the 2017 Spurs series, then he hasn't proven anything.

    Being reminded of Capela's development just renews my irritation at Golden State having four all-star players.

    I enjoy having the underrated guys.

    I think we need to acknowledge that DeAndre wasn't trying tonight, can't risk to piss off the Rockets since he wants to be here in few months :D

    The thing with _holic and Capela is, I can totally be ok with being skeptical that Capela can be consistent with his play to elevate the team. We see the highs but also lows. That's fair to wonder. However, what kills me is thinking that Zhou or Wright might be the better answer. There might be a better answer for Capela but the answer isn't on this team right now.

    When Capela hits his ceiling, we see how he can be a difference maker. Ditto for Gordon. They are the 2 players that have the capacity to raise their games to all star level to even out the 4 vs 2 all star deficiency the Rockets have vs GSW.

    Didn't the Cavs have 5 perennial all-stars on their roster at the beginning of the year? I would rather have chemistry and coaching over big names.

    No, the Cavs did not have 5 perennial all stars on their roster.
