    Playoff teams that Manimal can play well against:

    GSW (non-Boogie lineup)
    Portland
    Spurs
    Clippers

    He will struggle against:

    Denver with Jokic
    OKC with Adams
    Utah with Gobert
    Lakers with their group of bigs

    Capela I bet will end up with about 29-30 minutes per game and Faried about 18-19 minutes. Capela will be more fresh and Faried will be flying all over the court only playing 10 minutes or less per half. It should be fun as hell to watch.

    What a beast. I'm not gonna forget that rebound and putback on his own missed FT.

    But you people who are talking about starting him with Capela -- or instead of Capela, SMH ... Come on. This guy is tailor-made to be Capela's backup.

    Buyout market is our best bet

    Remember when everyone said that what Capela brought to the table was so unique and deserving of max max type money?

    Fareid is ******** on that whole line of thought.

    Mammal is another incredible mid season bargain bin score for Morey.

    One game hasn't changed my opinion that was based on a far superior sample size. Hopefully the Rockets can hide some of his deficiencies, but he's just not that good and it will become apparent to every casual fan here quite soon.

    Did Big Manimal change BigMaloe's mind yet?

    In 1 game huh? Like when Faried shut down, dominated and embarrassed Rudy Gobert and Karl Anthony Towns in the playoffs, right?

    The only thing we should be ******** on is your posts...

    He is a great rebounder and a great pick and roll player. He may not be that good at anything else, those two skills are massively valuable in our system, and he has been elite at BOTH of those for a long, long time.

    Really dude?
    Fareed is nowhere near the rim protected or defender.

    Exactly, he is what we thought we were getting with Chriss. He is the Chriss replacement.

    Lmfao, your sample size of Faried playing on the rockets is not a far superior sample size, and the idea that you know more than another person because you routinely post dumb **** on here is hilarious.

    Volume posting doesn’t make you smarter, and your ‘calls’ routinely reflect that. I’m glad you aren’t a casual fan, but let’s not act like you have some sort of insight that someone with google and 5 minutes doesn’t.

    Nurkic (especially) and LMA would be difficult matchups too, at least more than McGee/Zubac imo.
