    Yeah I know there are other teams but those teams won’t climb. Utah is by far the best team from those. I really can’t see any of the current playoff teams besides us slipping much besides the Clippers and Lakers but if the Clippers stay healthy I see no reason why they can’t keep it up and honestly I don’t see a situation where Lebron on the Lakers misses the playoffs. The NBA can’t let that happen.

    I do agree with you that it’s pretty shtty that Morey has to use the pick for a quick fix.

    When it rains it pours basically

    100%. Paul is great, especially at his best, but the team at least has proper fill in guards and Harden’s usage can be increased to help make up for his role. There are no reasonable fill in C’s or anyone whose usage can be increased to really fill in for Capela’s role. Definitely a big blow, but maybe someone will step up.

    I hope Mauley don’t panic and blow our assets on a stopgap mediocre center. Or we’ll regret later because we have bigger needs for a starting caliber PF/SF.

    That being said, I am freaking PANICKING. This is a bigger blow than the CP3 and EG injuries: don’t know if CP3 is truly washed up, or just taking it easy, but he wasn’t playing like himself before the injury. And EG was just bricking those looong threes from all over the place. The emergence of Rivers and House helped too.

    But with Capela out, we’re truly fxxxed. We’re in danger of making the playoffs even if HarGod can maintain the historic level of play.

    *** the injury gods, they have done nothing but kick Houston fans in the nuts for years. I've prayed and sacrificed and you still treat us like ****. Don't care anymore.

    Well. I'm extremely thankful Harden carried this team to where they are now because its going to be a dogfight to even make the playoffs now.

    I feel sorry for Clint, especially given his incentives. But better now than in the playoffs.
