    I wonder if he has earned it yet?

    Of course he doesn't block or rebound every single one. But he does contest every single one, he makes each one- rebounding or shooting, an competitive event. I love it.

    It's probably irrelevant either way, lol.

    Read my posts. No, we don't hand to win a championship for coming to office me wrong. But we probably will win a championship if everybody else stays healthy and Clint proves me wrong. Read my posts.

    You said he's just another player. You said he'd never be a contributor. He's now playing at an All-Star level IN THE PLAYOFFS! How in the hell have you not been proven wrong? The delusions are strong in this one.

    Remember when the Rockets signed Dwight Howard and presented him as the "Next Great Rockets Center" following in the footsteps of Hayes, Malone, Sampson, Olajuwon and Yao?

    Who knew then that it would the backup Clint Capela who is actually the heir of those great centers. To nerd out this is like how Jon Snow isn't the b*stard of Winterfell but the true heir to the throne..

    Exactly you moron. I didn’t go around proposing to trade core pieces away.

    I don’t run my mouth so arrogantly for years like you making “hot takes” and being an “insider” that are 99% of the time wrong while moving the goal posts constantly about dumbass proclamations that have no root in reality.

    You’re the spineless one here, you can never accept being wrong!

    When drafted you called Clint “poo” and “can’t play”.

    Then he was just “another player” with just about every junk second string (or worse) centre as being worth trading him for.

    Then it was this constant thing about his defence being the worst around.

    Then it was a very strong stance that WE WILL NOT MAKE THE PLAYOFFS as Clint as a starter.

    Now as we are in the playoffs you’ve repeatedly stood by a lot of what you’ve said and lately it’s been “if he proves himself to you”... whatever that means is obviously just smokes and mirrors at this point.

    He has long since proven you wrong. Time to own it!

    When we drafted Clint he was supposed to be stashed in Europe. I didn't like that. Thought itty was a wasted pouch since we were trying to win. He managed to get us to sign him and bring him over. And the whole rookie season he did nothing. It wasn't until the playoffs that he really had a breakout of sorts. (Hmmmmmmm, so it does happen where a rookie player makes no contribution in the regular season and then he gets discovered in the playoffs.).

    I'm sorry it bothers you that I think Clint is an average NBA player, a JAP.

    The rest of your post is typical third grade word fight. I'm not interested.

    I said he's just another player. I did not say he wouldn't be a contributor. Read the posts in context. JAPs can be contributors to a winning team. Read the posts in context.

    Guys guys... to Hollics credit....

    He did explain all of this with NBA sourced backing Capelas develeopment behind closed doors in his insider newsletter. It’s well worth the monthly payment if you’ve got the money to afford it.

    .....

    And if you’re into politics, there is some great insider info on the criminal activity of the left by his COMPLETELY seperate partner Bobbythegreat, that will be breaking news over there as well. Again... completely different person following the footsteps of a COMPLETELY different founding father of their newsletter Jopatmc.
