thats all he does. double down year after year. if capela was playing as sorry as maker has for the last 2 years, you wouldn't hear the end of it. but apparently maker's 2 reb in 20 mins a game in the playoffs are such big news and capela hasn't proved anything. oh and his defense isn't any good. holic is a 50 year old garbage poster who's in the wrong sport capela hater from the day he was drafted. still one to this day. double down, triple down, itll go on and on.
Trying to be fair, I can see the logic that some thon maker fans are sprouting. Maker does have a height advantage and IF given the chance of playing with cp3 and harden, his stats might replicate capela or even better (doubtful). I still believe you have to take into the chemistry and the work ethic that capela has with the rocket organization, he's improving every year. There's a reason why the trio of capela, harden, and paul is like 40ish-5, paul is a point god, but harden and capela has that long ass chemistry. I don't believe capela needs to shoot 3's, he should just focus on catching ez assist, improving free throws, and defense. While i can see the other side point, rallying around that side is basically agreeing with the infamous statement, "we not gonna make it into playoffs with capela as starting center." Pretty stupid if u ask me.
The minute capela has an off game in the playoffs just keep an eye on who'll make a quick appearance. extremely easy call #yulec
You guys need to cut Holic some slack. He's freaking out right now because his entire ClutchFans shtick is being the only guy knowledgeable enough about basketball to know exactly what's wrong with this team and how to fix it. The farther we go in the playoffs, the more his prescriptions for what ails us look silly. He's in full-on panic mode these days.
Did anyone get the highlights of Maker scoring 4 points and getting 5 fouls while going 0-4 from 3 in 26 minutes? We could really use a guy like that!
Sorry, I can't get behind this assessment at all. Qi appears to me to be intelligent and has some nice skillsets, but I am not even convinced he can be a full time rotation player. He has the look to me of a fringe rotation player at best. And you might not have faith in Capela, but Qi will never be close to what Capela is right now in my opinion. My opinion on Capela is he has his faults and one of them is consistency and being bullied. BUT, he has a decent ceiling that can be accessed. This has been proven and we saw it in the 1st round. Can he maintain it? No idea. But it has been "tapped." I don't see Qi being able to achieve that ceiling.
If it ain't broke... why trade Capela. You think Harden, CP3, and Maker on the floor will be that much better than Harden, CP3, and Capela? By the time that chemistry solidifies, if at all, CP3 is already retired and not to mention wasting Harden's prime years.
What is more outrageous. 1) Saying Qi is better now defensively than Capela? 2) Or saying Qi has NBA Defensive Player of the Year potential?
Qi is the key to stopping Durant Rockets are just wrapping him up in cotton wool until the WCF and then unleash him on Durant Wheel C
I’ve watched one playoff series verses an up and coming superstar in KAT. On top of a full season in which Capela took another step forward. Nah. We arent in a position to take a gamble on Maker, he is still a project. Doesn’t need to add a 3 pointer, his elite finishing creates gravity to where a defender has to be on his hip in the PNR. Not every center needs to be a 3 point shooter if they have another elite offensive skill. He actually is... Capela is actually playing better by defense in real NBA games. All you have is potential, we don’t need potential on this rockets team.
