Capela's contract incentives

None of those scenarios will happen. Not with only 3 games left, including 2 at home against the 2 worst teams in the NBA.

 

He bricked 2 last night. I doubt he makes it

 

Yeah, my boys and I were talking about this, he made his first 2, and I was like.....oooooh, Lux tax here we come, then he bricked 2, I don't think he has a real shot, anymore but it makes it interesting.

He has an outside shot. But the commentators were saying that it's probably in his head and that might cause him to miss a few. I'm inclined to agree with them.

 

8-10 tonight, what does he have to go in the final game to get to 65%, anyone know?

So, 164 out of 257? He'd have to go 21 for 21 to cross .650 for the season.

 

9-9 gets him to 173-266...which is .6503
Still possible, but that's a lot of FT attempts...and with no misses.

 

Capela has made 164 out of 257 FTs. He can get to 65% if he makes 9/9 FTs in the final game.

 

Watch him go 9-9, then WB, Adams or someone gets a technical, and Tilman gives MDA the high sign to make Capela shoot the $500,000 tech, under enormous pressure.

 

this gives me a headache.

 

I wonder how it would go over if the Rockets rested Capela.

 

All those tricky incentives...... oh you sly devil, D.

 

This makes no sense, if it was true (as reported all yr by Albert Nahmad) that Capela's DREB% last year was a Likely Incentive...which is *only* possible if the contract uses the BBRef Formula. Nahmad even quotes the 30.7% that Capela achieved in 2017 as criteria for the Likely stamp.

Capela has never achieved 30% using NBA.com's stats, so Nahmad is clearly in conflict with Bobby Marks here. This is like Shams v Woj on Capology.



Here's Bima agreeing that Capela's BBRef 30.7% was used classify DREB% as a Likely incentive last year.

 

@J.R.

Bad news for Tilman. Albert Nahmad confirms Capela is at 33% DREB%, and BobbyMarks doesn't object. For future reference, we are instructed to use BBRef's DREB% numbers, not the ones at NBA stats.
