Despite him being complete garbage last year's playoffs, Clint being a lob threat helps Harden a ton. He also has a fairly good rim presence, switch d, fast break ability. Also, he didn't even have a bad game last night lol If your statement was true, Chriss woulve also been paid
Clint was the best defender of Giannis last night by far. Name a better C playing next to four guys 6’5 and under?
To me, Capela stands out on his ability to defend smaller players on the perimeter for someone his size is impressive. He usually makes them change their shot or more often give the ball up. He is underrated when it comes to this. On the offensive end, his ability to outrun his man and the lobs are equally as good. Everything else is not that impressive.
Clint isn't aggressive enough and I'm hoping Tyson Chandler can help him in that area. I'm sick every time he goes up for layup and not to dunk. Each year he doesn't come back stronger, ala Giannis, the same Clint in the same body...
the harden to westbrook assist and two handed dunk in 3rd quarter might have been a play of the game. it was epic
And $80 million is an appropriate contract for a player like Capela. Harden is the one barreling into traffic over and over expecting a call, going 2 for 13, and coughing up the ball 7 times.
