    It's a fumble or a pass out to the corner every time he gets the ball, pretty much a wasted possession

    Not sure why Nene didn't play in the second half.

    Capela is such trash...god what a mentally weak weak boy. Why does he even want to play basketball? He acts like he doesn't even want to be out there...just wants to run away and hide. GTFO the team if you don't want to play idiot!

    No.
    Capela has always been soft, had unreliable hands, has no post up game PERIOD.
    Without lobs from the guards, he is a non-starter.
    He is a liability.

    If he is as bad as you say how come he averaged 17 and 13? Dude is clearly sick, what soft and unreliable hands? Unreliable hand score 17 pts a night? GTFO!

    This isn't on Capela, it's on Mike Dumb Toni for not realizing Capela sucks rn and not playing Nene instead. Harden taking only 16 shots wtf, this is what happens when the players are coaching themselves.

    Look at Steve Kerr. Instantly realizes who can and cannot play thats why he has a tight rotation. Even if we beat GSW its gonna be due to injuries, Rox have no chance with a Dumb AF coach calling the shots. And what are the chances of beating the Bucks at this rate? I expect Rox to get beaten down as Budenholzer will coach circles around Dumbtoni again as he did in the regular season.

    Try reading what I wrote: without LOBS FROM THE GUARDS, he is trash.
    He should thank Harden & Paul for his empty stats.
    If you're trying to make an argument that Clint has only recently become soft, you'll lose.
    We all have working eyeballs.

    Not every center has to create their own offense duh. Thats what the guards are there for, to create for him. If he can create his own shot then he would be making more than 16M a year.

    Clint has never been soft he is just sick. Clearly you have never watched him play in the regular season.

    Unfortunately, watch him all through the season.
    Every weak handed, turnover prone, missed-point-blank-layup, bobbled pass, scared, soft minute.
    And he has the nerve to be the only Rocket who (2 years in a row) opens his mouth ahead of a series with GS talking noise.
    What a weak player...

    That was the most pathetic display of basketball from a championship aspiring team center.

    Every time he touched the ball, it was a wasted possession. No lobs. No layups. And terrible passes.

    Clint was sick AGAIN?? Hell no. If that was really the case the MDA is an idiot. Why he didn’t play Nene more is a mystery. Just stupid, really freakin’ stupid!!

    warriors exposing his lack of any skill.

    Take away the wide open alley oop dunk and what do you have?

    Can’t shoot at all.
    Can’t shoot 3’s
    Can’t shoot mid range jumpers
    Can’t even shoot free throws
    Compete not factor outside of the paint.

    Oh but at least he has a post game or a nice jump hook over smaller defenders in the paint? NOPE. Can’t even do that.

    0 offensive game. 0 skill.

    He has the playoff flu. The only cure is to play exclusively in the regular season.

    Yeah, I agree. I don't how you make it happen, Morey. His trade value's got to be hitting new depths of Hell with every game. But it's got to happen. He's an absolute nothing out there...at best.

    Tonight, every other starter played at least 38 minutes. Capela played 25. That's how bad MDA is trying not to play him, and he's not trying anywhere near hard enough. He had 6 points. He was 3/10 from the field. That's horrendous for a center. No free throws cause you can't even get the ball to him. Of course, why would that matter? He's shooting an abysmal 43% from the line these playoffs.

    Oh, but he had 14 rebounds and was a +8, best on the team tonight!! Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. I've watched him the entire playoffs. He snipes and scavenges rebounds. He doesn't create them like Tucker does. If the ball's in his vicinity, he'll reach his hands in and maybe pull it out, but he does not box out. He was off screen fiddling around the three-point line on so many damn shots by the Warriors. In no way would you expect him to pull down a rebound at a critical time like you see Tucker frequently do. We need an "effective rebounds" stat, because I guarantee many of those 14 rebounds didn't mean much.

    The Warriors switched their scorers on to him at every single opportunity, and they've been doing that the whole series, because it's been working really well. He can't do anything to stop them or even hinder them. He's not even taller than Durant.

    Of course, he cannot create his own points, either. He's been entirely propped up by Harden throwing him lobs. He has nothing else, and his teammates are too damn nice to be appropriately selfish and stop trying to work him into the offense. He had 3 turnovers on his own tonight.

    Possibly the worst thing tonight was how he just let Thompson get that layup uncontested when the Rockets were down three at the end. If you do absolutely nothing else, you don't let him get that shot off. He'll likely make his free throws, but that's irrelevant. You foul the **** out of him.

    He's got to go.

    Nene is gonna retire next season, and still play far better than Capela.

    You know Capela playing like hot trash.

    One of the sadest/funniest sequences when cp3 got fouled on his midrange shot in the 4th and he missed it, capela tried to tip it in and still couldn't get the ball to go in.....bruh:D:(
